Note: If the lights on the Battery Charger (11) fail to illuminate according to the chart above or

indicate a fault condition:

• Check the battery is ﬁrmly seated in the Battery Charger

• Check all connections and that mains power is switched on

Initial charge

• The initial charge will vary depending on the existing charge in the battery. Allow the

battery to reach full charge as indicated on the Battery Charger

• After discharging, recharge the battery completely, as indicated by the LED on the battery

charger, for the next 4 to 5 uses. This will ensure that the Battery is performing to its

highest capacity

• Subsequent full charges will take approximately 80 minutes (T20HCB: 4Ah battery).

However, the Battery can be recharged when the Battery is only partially discharged

Re-charging the battery

• After use, a lithium-ion battery must be allowed to cool down before charging

• If a hot battery is inserted into the charger both LEDs will illuminate. The charger will

begin to charge when the Battery has cooled sufﬁciently (this may take several minutes)

Battery - length of service

• The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of workload. The

battery charger and battery for this drill have been designed to provide a long trouble-free

working life. The charger intelligently monitors the condition of the battery and selects

the ideal charging rate for the condition of the battery. It protects the battery from over-

charging or charging at too high a rate. However, like all batteries, performance will be

reduced over time

To maximise battery life:

• Store and charge the battery in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room

temperature will reduce battery life

• Never store lithium-ion batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately

after they are discharged. For storing long term, store at a high-charge level or fully

charged

• All batteries gradually lose their charge, even lithium-ion batteries, but the discharge rate

is very low. If the drill is stored for long periods of time without use, recharge the battery

every three to four months and disconnect the battery from the power tool before it is

stored. This practice will prevent the lithium-ion battery being damaged when stored

Fitting a drill or driver bit

WARNING: DO NOT ﬁt any attachment with a maximum speed lower than the no load speed

of the machine.

1. Rotate the Keyless Chuck (1) collar clockwise and insert the bit into the chuck

2. Rotate the Keyless Chuck collar anti-clockwise to secure the drill bit

Note: DO NOT run the tool whilst tightening or releasing the chuck. Ideally select the locked

middle position of the Forward/Reverse Switch (5).

3. When the bit is held tightly, test that it is positioned centrally by running the tool. The bit

should rotate smoothly without uneven rotation. If the bit is not central, release the chuck,

reposition the bit and retighten the chuck

Direction control

• The rotation direction can be set using the Forward/Reverse Switch (5)

• To let the chuck rotate clockwise, push the Forward/Reverse Switch to the left

• To let the chuck rotate anti-clockwise, push the Forward/Reverse Switch to the right

• When the Forward/Reverse Switch is in the central position, the tool is locked

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to move the Forward/Reverse Switch when the tool is running

Speed control

• This drill driver features a 2-speed gearbox:

- 1st gear range: 0 – 450min-1

- 2nd gear range: 0 – 1600min-1

• Use the Gear Selector (4) to set the gear: forward for ﬁrst gear, back for second gear

Note: The ﬁrst gear would be used normally for driving screws, for example, and offers higher

torque and superior control at low rpm. The second gear would normally be used exclusively

for drilling.

Torque control

• This drill driver is ﬁtted with torque control, which limits the torque output of the drill,

enabling screws to be driven without the risk of damage

• There are 16 torque settings and two drill settings. The lower the number, the lower the

torque

• To adjust the torque, select the ﬁrst gear and rotate the Torque Adjustment Collar (2) until

the setting you require is aligned with the arrow on the combi hammer drill housing

• Check that the torque setting is correct by practising ﬁrst on a piece of scrap material

Mode selection

• For drilling, select the correct gear, then rotate the Mode Selector (3) to the drill symbol .

This will lock the tool for maximum torque

• For screwdriving, select the correct gear, then rotate the Mode Selector to the screw

symbol . This will activate the torque clutch

• For masonry drilling, select the correct gear, then rotate the Mode Selector to the hammer

symbol . This will lock the tool for maximum torque and activate impact hammer

function

WARNING: The drill can be ﬁtted with a drive adaptor for use with driving nuts and bolts. Do

not attempt to use this tool in the drill position when doing so. Use the 16 torque settings and

the ﬁrst gear to allow the torque clutch to protect the tool from excessive load. The use of a

spanner to loosen or tighten a nut/bolt is recommended. This allows the tool to speed up the

operation, without risk of damage when high torque is required at the beginning or end of

the operation.

Operation

WARNING: Always use adequate protective equipment, including eye protection,

respiratory and hearing protection, when working with this tool.

Switching on and off

• To start the tool, squeeze the Speed Control Trigger Switch (6). The LED Work Light (10)

will illuminate

• Further pressure on the Speed Control Trigger Switch will increase the running speed of

the tool

• Release the Speed Control Trigger Switch to stop the tool

Note: It is possible the drill may switch off during heavy use due to thermal protection of the

battery and internal components. This may prevent the tool being used again for a short period

of time and does not represent a fault condition.

Drilling guidance

• Use sharp drill bits and ensure that drill bits are suitable for the material being drilled

• Never exceed the maximum drilling capacities listed in ‘Speciﬁcation’

• Begin drilling at slow speeds by partially squeezing the Speed Control Trigger Switch (6)

• Reduce pressure on the Speed Control Trigger Switch when the drill bit is about to break

through to the other side of material

• To avoid splintering on breakthrough, either clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back

of the workpiece or continue the hole from the back of the wood when the drill bit ﬁrst

breaks through

Drilling metal

• Support thin material with a piece of scrap wood

• Mark the intended hole position using a hammer and centre punch

• Use only HSS (high speed steel) drill bits or others recommended for drilling into metal

• Prior to drilling large holes, use a smaller bit to drill a pilot hole

• Use a suitable coolant/lubricant to prolong the service life of the drill bit, and produce good

results

Drilling masonry

• Always use a masonry drill bit, preferably a TCT masonry bit, when drilling into walls,

stone or concrete

• DO NOT apply too much pressure to the back of the tool. If debris blocks the drill hole, run

the drill slowly and remove the bit from the hole. Repeat until the hole is clear of debris

and continue
