SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Read all safety
warnings and instructions!
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious
injury. Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term power tool in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WARNING:
Risk of fire and
electric shock. Dry location use only. Do
not expose to rain. Risk of injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground-fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use the tool while tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection,
used for appropriate conditions, will reduce
personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
that the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to a power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Page 5
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these are
connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
USE AND CARE OF THE
POWER TOOLS
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better
and more safely at the rate for which it was
designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories,
tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE
AND CARE
1. Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
1. Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
BRUSHLESS DRILL/DRIVER
1. Know your drill/driver. Read operator’s
manual carefully. Learn the applications and
limitations, as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this tool. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire
or serious injury.
2. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with
the tool. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
3. Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live”
wire will also make exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and shock the operator.
4. Always wait until the machine has
come to a complete stop before placing it
down. The tool insert can jam and lead to
loss of control over the power tool.
5. Do not permit children to use the drill/

devices or a vise will hold the workpiece in
place better than the hand.
10. Before performing any kind of work on
the tool (e. g. maintenance, bit change, etc.)
or when transporting and storing it, always
set the direction-of-rotation selector to
center off position. Unintentional activation
of the on/off switch may result in personal
injury.
11. Use protective gloves when removing
the bit from the tool, or allow the clamp
to cool down. The bit may be hot after
prolonged use.
12. Do not dispose of a worn out battery
pack by incinerating. Do not incinerate
the battery, even if it is severely damaged
or completely worn out. The battery may
explode in fire.
13. Do not operate the drill/driver or the
charger near flammable liquids or in a
gaseous or explosive environment. Internal
sparks may ignite fumes.
14. Keep the drill/driver dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any
strong solvent to clean the drill/driver.
15. Save these instructions. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others
who may use this tool. If you loan someone
this tool, also loan them these instructions.
DANGER:
People with electronic
devices, such as pacemakers, should
consult their physician(s) before using this
product. Operation of electrical equipment
in close proximity to a heart pacemaker
could cause interference or failure of the
pacemaker.
WARNING:
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

drilling or driving at low or high speeds. A
slide switch is located on the top of the drill/
driver to select either low or high speed. The
required speed is adjusted depending on
the material and the working conditions.
Use low speed for high power and torque
applications and high speed for fast drilling
or driving applications.
When using drill/driver in the low speed
range, the speed will decrease and the drill/
driver will have more power and torque.
Use low speed for starting holes without
a center punch, drilling metals or plastic,
drilling ceramics, or in applications requiring
a higher torque.
High speed is better for drilling wood and
wood composites.
NOTICE: Avoid running the drill/driver at
high speed for extended periods of time.
Running at high speed under constant us-
age may cause the drill/driver to become
overheated.
CAUTION:

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety
warnings, instruction, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power
tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and
Page 5
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
a) Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a” live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool live and
shock the operator.
b) Take protective measures when
dust can develop during working that
is harmful to one’s health, combustible
or explosive. Example: Some dusts are
regarded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust
mask and work with dust/chip extraction
when connectable.
c) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a vice
is held more secure than by hand.
d) To reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the charger and battery, use
only the batteries and charger listed.

WARNING:
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

OPERATION
POWER INDICATOR (Fig. 2)
This Lithium-Ion battery pack is equipped with
a power indicator that displays the battery
pack’s charge status. Press the power-
indicator button to display the LED lights.
The LED lights will stay lit for approximately
4 seconds.
LOW CAPACITY WARNING
If one LED on the power indicator begins to
flash, the battery pack’s charge is under 20%
capacity and should be recharged soon.
Unlike other battery pack types, Lithium-Ion
battery packs deliver fade-free power for their
entire run time. The tool will not experience a
slow, gradual loss of power as you work. To
signal that the battery pack is at the end of its
run time and needs to be charged, power to
the tool will drop quickly.
The power indicator will begin to display
four flashing LED lights when it is completely
discharged. When this happens, remove
the tool from the workpiece and charge the
battery pack as needed.
BATTERY PROTECTION
To protect the battery from damage and
prolong its life, the battery pack circuitry
will turn off the battery pack if it becomes
overloaded or if the temperature becomes too
high during use. This may happen in extremely
high torque, binding and stalling situations.
The battery pack will begin normal operation
when it cools down.
The power indicator will display four flashing
LED lights if the circuitry detects a momentary
overload. You can conveniently reset the
battery pack by releasing the power-tool
trigger. Press the power-indicator button
again to display the remaining charge.
NOTICE: If the power indicator continues to
flash four LED lights after resetting, place
the battery pack on the charger to evaluate
the battery condition.
NOTICE: A significantly reduced run time
after fully charging the battery pack indicates
that the battery is near the end of its usable
life and must be replaced.

OPERATION
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
When the battery pack is very cold, it may
“pulse” for the first minute of use to warm
itself. Put the battery pack on a tool and use
the tool in a light application. After about a
minute, the battery pack will have warmed
itself and will operate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE
BATTERY PACK
The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at
any time and will not develop a “memory”
when charged after only a partial discharge.
It is not necessary to run down the battery
pack charge before recharging. Remove
the battery pack from the tool when it is
convenient for you and your job.
1. Use the power indicator to determine when
you need to recharge the battery pack.
2. You can “top-off” your battery pack’s
charge before starting a big job or long
period of use.
3. Due to Lithium-Ion’s fade-free
properties, the only time it is necessary
to charge the Lithium- Ion battery pack
is when the pack has reached the end of
its charge. To signal the end of charge,
power to the tool will drop quickly.
Charge the battery pack as needed.
