If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children. • If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention. • If the coin cell battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If coin cell battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of an organic solvent and lithium salts. • Do not incinerate or dispose of tool together with household waste material! Tool that has reached the end of its life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility. OPERATION WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Exception-Tool Connect™ functions and mode adjustments require battery to be installed. NOTICE: Always check the tool configuration prior to use. If you are unsure of the current configuration, press the mode selector button 12 (Fig. J) to set the tool to the Home setting as described on the label and this manual. Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. K) NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is fully charged. To install the battery pack 11 into the tool handle, align the battery pack with the rails inside the tool's handle and slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in the tool and ensure that it does not disengage. To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release button 10 and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction. Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle and one hand on the battery pack. Fig. L Screwdriving (Fig. D) 1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to match the speed and torque to the planned operation. 2. Turn the torque adjustment collar 3 to the desired position. NOTE: Use the lowest torque setting required to seat the fastener at the desired depth. The lower the number, the lower the torque output. 3. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you would any drill bit. 4. Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of the workpiece to determine the proper position of the torque adjustment collar. 5. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece or fastener. Drilling (Fig. E) NOTICE: If drilling thin material, use a wood "backup" block to prevent damage to the material. 1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Turn the collar 3 to the drill symbol. 2. Use sharp drill bits only. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling. 3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit. 4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill. If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one hand on the battery pack. 11
