WARNING: Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury. APPLICATIONS You may use this product for the purposes listed below:  Drilling in all types of wood products (lumber, plywood, paneling, composition board, and hard board)  Drilling in ceramics, plastics, fiberglass, and laminates  Drilling in metals  Driving screws BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES RIDGID 12 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life. Under some operating conditions, these built-in features may cause the battery and the tool it is powering to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries. During some applications, the battery electronics may signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to stop running. To reset the battery and tool, release the trigger and resume normal operation. NOTE: To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid forcing the tool. Switching to a lower speed will also prevent shut down. If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and tool, the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery pack will begin charging when placed on the lithium-ion charger. For complete charging instructions, refer to the Operator's Manual for the battery packs and chargers for your models. WARNING: Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury. TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACK See Figure 2, page 12. To install:  Lock the switch trigger on the drill by placing the direc- tion of rotation (forward/reverse/center lock) selector in center position.  Place battery pack in the drill. Align raised rib on battery pack with the groove inside the drill.  Make sure the latch on the back of the battery pack snaps in place and battery pack is secured in the drill before beginning operation. To remove:  Lock the switch trigger on the drill by placing the direction of rotation selector in center position.  Depress the latches on the side of battery pack to release 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. LED LIGHT See Figure 3, page 12. The LED light, located above the switch trigger, illuminates when the switch trigger is depressed. If the drill is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the light to start fading and then shut off. La lampe DÉL s'allume seulement lorsqu'un bloc-piles chargé se trouve dans l'outil. The LED light illuminates only when there is a charged battery pack in the tool. If the LED light flashes during operation, this indicates a low battery charge condition. The drill will still operate normally, but the battery should be recharged soon to prevent shutdown of the tool. SWITCH TRIGGER See Figure 4, page 12. To turn the drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger. VARIABLE SPEED See Figure 4, page 12. The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed 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. 7 - English
