TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3, page 12.

Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
selector in the center position.
 Install the battery pack in the tool.
 Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap into place and the battery pack is secured on the
tool before beginning operation.
WARNING:
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3, page 12.

Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
selector in the center position.
 Depress the latches on the side of battery pack.
 Remove the battery pack from the tool.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore,
the switch trigger should always be locked when not in
use or carrying at your side.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 4, page 12.
To turn the drill
ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from the
switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a normal
part of the switch function.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 4, page 12.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the drill
held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation
selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger
for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector
is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the direction of rotation selector in the
OFF (center
lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental
starting when not in use.
