Item 68851 

        

note:

 The Battery Pack’s capacity will increase 

somewhat during the first few charging cycles. 

A fully discharged Battery Pack will take about 1 hour 

to fully charge. 

 

Recharging the Battery Pack for 

more than 1 hour can damage the battery cells. 
7.  While charging, the Battery Pack, Charger, and 

Power Supply may become warm to the touch. 

This is normal, and does not indicate a problem.

8.  The red LED will light continuously when the 

Battery Pack is charged. Unplug the Charger and 

disconnect it from the Battery Pack when finished.

9.  Allow the Battery Pack to cool 

completely before using it.

10. Press the Battery Button to release 

Battery Pack from the Charger.

Work piece and Work area Set up

1.  Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.  

The work area must not allow access by children 

or pets to prevent distraction and injury.

2.  Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps 

(not included) to prevent movement while working.

3.  There must not be objects, such as utility lines, 

nearby that will present a hazard while working.

General operating instructions

1.  Insert the fully charged Battery Pack (11) into the 

base of the Tool, making sure that it clicks into place 

securely. Be sure the Battery Pack is securely seated 

into the Drill Handle so it does not fall off during use.

2.  Slide the Direction Switch (which should initially 

be centered in the “lock” position) to the right for 

forward drilling/fastening, or to the left for reversing 

the operation. Use the “reverse” setting only to 

remove screws or to release jammed drill bit.

notiCe: do not change direction of rotation 

while Chuck is rotating.  

Wait until Chuck has come 

to a complete stop before changing direction.
3.  If using the Drill to insert or remove screws, 

position the tip in the item to insert or remove. 

4.  If drilling a hole, hold the Drill above the area to drill.
5.  For precision depth drilling, loosen (turn 

counterclockwise) the Driver Clamp (21) 

on the Secondary Handle (23) and move 

the Depth Gauge (23) to the desired 

position. Retighten the Driver Clamp.

6.  Press the Trigger to start the drill. The Work 

Light will also activate once the Switch is 

pressed and turn off once Switch is released.

7.  When inserting or removing a screw or bolt, use 

slight pressure at first to keep the bit in the head 

of the screw or bolt and cause the screw or bolt 

to thread into or unthread from the material. 

8.  When drilling a hole, let the Drill do the work, 

using only enough pressure to follow the 

drill as it cuts the hole in the material.

9.  When drilling a hard, smooth surface, use 

a center punch (not included) to mark the 

desired hole. This will prevent the drill bit 

from slipping as the hole is started.

Wood drilling

a.  For best performance, use high speed 

drill bits for wood drilling and turn the 

torque setting to the drill icon.

b.  Start wood drilling at very low speed 

to keep the bit from slipping.  Increase 

speed as drill bit bites into wood.

c.  When drilling through holes, place a block 

or wood behind the workpiece to prevent 

ragged edges on the back side of the hole.

metal drilling

a.  For best performance, use high speed 

drill bits for metal or steel drilling and turn 

the torque setting to the drill icon.

b.  Start metal drilling at very low speed to keep the bit 

from slipping.  Maintain the speed and pressure, 

allowing for cutting without overheating the bit.

c.  When drilling large holes in metal surfaces, use a 

small drill bit at first.  Then finish with a larger drill 

bit.  Be sure to lubricate the bit with oil to improve 

the drilling action and help increase bit life.

masonry drilling

a.  Use carbide or specialty bits for 

masonry/concrete drilling.

b.  Rock and masonry are generally drilled 

in the hammer drilling mode.

c.  When drilling in walls, start with regular drilling and, 

once tile is pierced, continue with hammer mode.

note:

 In deep bore holes, occasionally pull 

the drill bit out to remove dust and chips.
10. When finished using the Drill, release the 

Trigger and center the Direction Switch to lock 

the trigger mechanism as a safety measure.

11.  Remove the Battery Pack. 
12. Clean then store the Drill indoors 

and out of children’s reach.
