 19.2 V lithium-ion battery packs are designed 

with features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maxi-
mize battery life.
If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset 
and resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the 
battery needs to be recharged.

See Figure 2, page i.


  Lock the switch trigger on the drill by placing the direc-

tion of rotation selector in the center position. 



Place the battery pack in the drill. Align the raised rib 
on the battery pack with the groove inside the drill.

Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack 
snap into place and the battery pack is secured in the 
drill before beginning operation.

See Figure 2, page i.


  Lock the switch trigger on the drill by placing the direc-

tion of rotation selector in the center position. 



  Locate the latches on the side of the battery pack and 

depress to release the battery pack from the drill. 



  Remove the battery pack from the drill.

WARNING: 

Battery tools are always in operating 

condition. Therefore, switch should always be locked 
when not in use or carrying at your side.

See Figure 3, page i.
To turn the drill 

ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it 

OFF, release the switch trigger.

The variable speed switch delivers higher speed and 
torque 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.

See Figure 3.
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.

 To prevent gear damage, always allow 

the chuck to come to a complete stop before chang-
ing the direction of rotation. 

To stop the drill, release the switch trigger and allow the 
chuck to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation 
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods 
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may 
cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool 
the drill by running it without a load and at full speed.

See Figure 4, page i.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits 
in the chuck jaws. Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck 
with one hand. Rotate the chuck body with your other 
hand. The arrows on the chuck indicate which direction 
to rotate the chuck body in order to 

LOCK (tighten) or 

UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.
