7 FEATURES
7.1 Li-ion battery (9)
Advantages of Li-ion batteries :
▪ Li-ion batteries have a higher capacity/weight ratio (more power for less heavy, more
compact, battery)
▪ No memory effect (capacity loss after several charge/discharge cycles) like other type
batteries. (Ni-Cd, Ni-MeH ..).
▪ Limited self discharge. (also see chapter : Storage)
7.2 Keyless chuck (1)
A keyless chuck is included on your drill to allow for easy installation and removal of
bits/accessories. The chuck is divided into two parts. The rear is called the collar and the front
is called the body.
To open and close the keyless chuck, grasp and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand
and rotate the chuck body with your other hand. The arrows on the chuck indicate in which
direction to rotate the chuck body in order to GRIP (tighten) or release (unlock) the drill bit.
WARNING: Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use power of the
drill to tighten or loosen the juck jaws. The chuck body could slip and your
hand could come in contact with a rotating accessory. This could cause an
accident resulting in personal injury.
7.3 Torque adjustment ring (2)
The drill has a torque adjustment ring. It allows you to select the desired torque depending on
the task you have to perform (drill / different types of screws into different materials). The
proper setting depends on the type of material and the size of screw you are using.
TO ADJUST TORQUE: Identify the 15+1 torque indicator settings located on the front of the
drill. Rotate adjusting ring (2) to the desired setting. The lower the number, the lower the
torque setting. The higher the number, the higher the torque setting.
