KNOW YOUR CORDLESS DRILL/DRIVER Horizontal level Double sleeve keyless chuck Torque clutch Trigger switch Forward / reverse switch Double ended screwdriver bit Battery #236-9025 NOTE: This 3 piece tool combo includes two 18V 1.5 Ah Li-ion batteries and one charger that are packed within the kit.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK 1. 2. 3. INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE DRILL/DRIVER Place the battery (1) in a dry location near a 120 V 60 Hz electrical outlet (Fig. 1) 1. Plug the battery charger transformer (2) into the 120 V 60 Hz wall receptacle. NOTE: The GREEN LED (3) on the charging cap (4) will turn ON indicating the power supply is “live”.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING ADJUSTING THE TORQUE FORWARD/REVERSE SWITCH Your drill/driver is equipped with an adjustable torque clutch for driving different types of screws into different types of materials. It also has a setting for "drilling". The forward/reverse switch (1) is conveniently mounted above the trigger switch (2) (Fig. 6). To make the drill rotate clockwise (for drilling) push the forward/reverse switch to the left.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING VARIABLE-SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH – cont’d NOTE: Hand tighten the chuck jaws. Do NOT use pliers. You will damage the chuck. Fig. 7 INSTALLING DRILL BITS Fig. 8 ! WARNING: Never hold the chuck body with one hand and use the drill/driver power to rotate the drill/driver body to loosen or tighten bits. Serious injury may result. ! WARNING: Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck and tighten as shown in Fig. 9.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING HORIZONTAL BUBBLE LEVEL DRILLING This drill/driver is equipped with a bubble level to assist you in keeping the drill/driver "level" while drilling horizontal holes. When drilling into smooth, hard surfaces such as metal, use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. The horizontal level (1) is located in the top of the drill/driver housing (Fig. 10).
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING DRILLING – cont’d NOTE: Do not continue to drive the screw once the clutch has released. This causes unnecessary wear of the clutch. When drilling metals, use light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the drill bit and improve the cutting action. If the bit jams in the workpiece, or if the drill/driver stalls, release the trigger switch immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
