How to use

Select the appropriate drill bit and insert it into the keyless single-sleeve chuck, then set the gear and clutch to suit the material and task. Use lower clutch settings and lower speed for screwdriving to prevent stripping; increase torque and engage hammer mode for drilling into masonry or concrete. Press the variable-speed trigger to control rotation speed and use the integrated LED to illuminate the work area. After use, remove the battery for charging with the supplied 1A charger and store the drill in the kitbox or on a belt using the detachable clip.

Recommendations

For best results, match drill bit type and size to the material: use masonry bits for concrete, metal bits for steel, and wood bits for timber. Charge the 2.0Ah battery fully before first use and keep spare batteries for extended work periods. Follow safety guidelines: wear eye protection, secure workpieces, and disconnect the battery when changing bits or performing maintenance.
