Low voltage cut out
The battery pack used on this tool is fitted with a low
voltage cut out feature within the circuitry.
The low voltage cut out feature operates when the voltage
drops below a pre set value. This feature automatically
stops the drill from operating (similar to that of the over
load condition). When this condition occurs you will need
to either insert another battery into the drill or recharge the
GB
existing battery.
The low voltage cut out feature has been added to
maximise the tools life. When this occurs, recharge the
battery pack by following the battery charging section in
this manual.
Note:
Attempting to restart the tool without either recharging
the battery or installing another battery (with charge) will
lead to drill restarting and then stopping again, after only a
few seconds of operation.
LED working Light & low voltage (less than 9V) alarm
The LED worklight, located on the front of the driver,
will illuminate when the trigger switch is depressed. This
provides additional light on the surface of the workpiece for
operation in lower-light areas to ensure better vision and to
make working in dark areas more safe. The LED worklight
will turn off when the trigger switch is released.
When the battery pack whole voltage is less than 9V, the
LED will be red (flash) to remind the user to charge in time.
CAUTION:
LED is laser class 1! Do not look directly into the
laser as this may result in damage to the eyes.
Electric brake
To stop the driver, release the trigger switch and allow the
tool to come to a complete stop. The electric brake quickly
stops rotating. This feature engages automatically when you
release the trigger switch.
Drilling
Drilling metals
•
Always clamp sheet metal.
•
Support thin metal with a block of wood to avoid
distorting it.
•
Use a punch to mark the centre of the hole.
•
Use a suitable lubricant for the material you are
working on,
USE:
Oil
Turpentine or paraffin
Do not lubricate
Drilling plastics and plastic coated chipboard
•
Use high speed drill bits
•
See drilling wood below
Drilling masonry
•
This drill is not designed for drilling masonry. Purchase
or hire a Hammer drill.
Drilling wood
•
Clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back of your work to
prevent splintering.
All drilling operations
•
Mark off the centre of the hole using a centre punch or nail.
•
Don't force the drill, let it work at its own pace
•
Keep the drill bit sharp.
•
Reduce pressure, as the drill is about to break through
the item being drilled.
Chuck replacement
The chucks of reversible drills are always fixed by a screw
with a left-hand thread. The screw, which is located in the
centre of the chuck, must be removed before the chuck can
be removed. To remove the screw, turn it in a clockwise
direction. The chuck can now be removed by unscrewing it
anti-clockwise. If you have trouble removing the chuck take
