How to use

Install the charged 2Ah battery into the tool until it locks in place, select the required mode (hammer for masonry or drill/driver for wood and metal) and fit the appropriate drill bit or screwdriver bit into the keyless chuck, ensuring it is tightened securely. Set the torque or speed setting according to material and fastener size, position the bit on the work surface, and apply steady pressure while operating the trigger. For impact drilling, allow the hammer action to work through the material without excessive force. Remove and charge the battery when depleted following the battery charger instructions supplied with the kit.

Recommendations

Use appropriate drill bits for each material: masonry bits for brick and concrete, high-speed steel or brad-point bits for metal and wood. Wear eye protection and a dust mask when drilling masonry, and clamp small workpieces securely. For prolonged tasks, rotate batteries or allow cooling periods to prevent overheating. Store the battery and tool in a dry, cool place when not in use.
