CHARGING AND INSTALLING

BATTERY

IMPORTANT STEPS BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS DRILL

If you are using the cordless drill for the first time, the batteries must first be fully charged. A new

battery,or one which has not been used for an extended period of time, achieves full

performance only after 5 full charges and discharges of the battery. A substantial drop in

operating period per charge indicates that the battery is worn out and must be replaced.

BATTERY CHARGER SAFETY GUIDELINES

•Always inspect the battery charger, cord and plug before each use.

•The supplied charger is suitable for charging KING CANADA batteries only.

•Protect battery charger from humidity and only operate in dry areas.

•Do not disassemble charger or operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, has been

dropped or damaged in any way. Replace damaged charger immediately. Do not use damaged

battery or charger.

CHARGING BATTERY

Start the charging procedure by plugging the charger to a 120V, 60Hz power source and

inserting the battery upside down into the charger slot. The battery and the charger become warm

during the charging process, this is normal and expected. To prevent incorrect battery insertion

in the charger, insert the battery according to the position of the key in the charger.

CHARGER INDICATOR LIGHTS

The red light on the side of the charger indicates that the battery is fully inserted and charging

has begun. If the red light does not come on, make sure the battery is fully inserted into the

charger or check the power source. The green light indicates that the battery has completed

recharging the battery.After charging is complete, disconnect the charger from its power source

and then remove the battery.

INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERYFROM DRILL

To install a battery (A) Fig.1 into the base (B) of the

cordless drill, simply slide the battery up into the

base of the drill and push it all the way until the

battery clips (C) snap and hold the battery into

place.

To remove the battery from the base of the drill,

simultaneously press both battery clips on both

sides of the battery and pull the battery away from

the drill.

Figure 1

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER

Your cordless drill is equipped with a variable speed

trigger switch (A) Fig.2. The speed can be controled from

the minimum to the maximum RPM just by the pressure

applied to the trigger switch. Apply more pressure to

increase speed and apply less pressure to decrease

speed. Release trigger to stop drill.

FORWARD / REVERSE AND TRIGGER LOCK

Your cordless drill is equipped with a forward/reverse

lever and a trigger lock (B) Fig.2. It is located above the

trigger. This lever is designed to change the direction of

rotation of the keyless chuck and to lock the trigger to

help prevent accidental starts and battery discharge. For

aforward rotation (with the chuck pointing away from you)

move the lever to the left. For reverse rotation move the

lever to the right. To lock the trigger, place the lever in the

center position.

WARNING! Do not change the rotation direction until the drill chuck has come to a

complete stop. Changing the rotation during an operation can cause damage to the tool.

ADJUSTABLE TORQUE SETTINGS

Your cordless drill features 21+1 torque settings for

driving different types of screws into different types of

materials. The output torque increases as the torque ring

(A) Fig.3 is rotated from 1 to 21. Correct torque settings

are as follows, setting 1-2 is ideal for driving small screws,

setting 3-4 is ideal for driving medium sized screws into

soft material, setting 5-6 is ideal for driving screws into

soft and medium density materials, setting 7 is ideal for

driving screws into hardwood, setting 8 is ideal for large

screws. Use the highest setting (final torque setting 22,

indicated by a drill bit) allows you to perform heavy duty

drilling operations.

SPEED SELECTOR

Before an operation, set the speed selector switch (B) Fig.3 to the desired speed. Slide the speed

selector towards the rear for low-RPM operation or towards the front for high-RPM operation. It

is recommended to use the low-RPM setting for drilling large holes or driving screws, use the

high-RPM setting for drilling small holes.

Warning! Do not attempt to change the speed setting during an operation, damage to the gear

may result.

ELECTRIC BRAKE

This cordless drill is equipped with an electric brake. If the tool consistantly fails to stop quickly

after the trigger is released, have the tool serviced.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

2POSITION HANDLE

This cordless drill comes with a 2 position handle (A)

Fig.4 which can be installed on either side of the drill.

This handle allows greater drilling control during

operations. To install the handle, simply screw it into the

side of the drill.

LED LIGHT

Your cordless drill features a LED light system (B) Fig.4

which gets activated by pressing the trigger. This feature

is ideal when working in partially lit work environments.

BUBBLE LEVEL

Your cordless drill features a bubble level (A) Fig.5 at the

rear of the drill body,this feature allows the user to level

the drill in order to achieve straight drilling and driving

operations.

INSTALLING DRILL BIT IN KEYLESS CHUCK

To open the keyless chuck jaws, hold the chuck collar (A)

Fig.6 firmly with one hand and turn the chuck sleeve (B)

counterclockwise with the other hand. To close the chuck

jaws, turn the chuck sleeve clockwise.

For small drill bits, open chuck jaws enough and insert

the drill bit up to the flutes. For larger drill bits, insert the

bit as far as it will go. Center the bit as you close the jaws

of the keyless chuck by hand. This positions the drill bit

properly,giving maximum contact between the chuck

jaws and the drill bit shank.

Pay Attention! Drill bit must be properly inserted in

keyless chuck with all three jaws holding the drill bit

centered in the chuck. If not, this could cause the drill bit

to be thrown from the chuckresulting in possible serious

injury.

Warning! Before removing drill bit after any operation, let the drill bit cool down before

attempting to remove it and touching it with your fingers, risk of burning!

OPERATION

OPERATIONAL STEPS-DRILLING

When drilling metal, it is recommended to use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from over-

heating.

1) Make sure the drill bit is firmly locked in the keyless chuck and set the direction of rotation

using the forward/reverse switch.

2) Set the torque setting ring to the highest setting.

3) Secure workpiece in vise or other type of support. Hold the drill firmly with both hands, place

the point of the drill bit at the point to be drilled and depress trigger to start the drilling

operation. Always use the higher speed setting for drilling small holes, use the lower speed

setting for drilling larger holes.

4) Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the drill bit cutting.

Do not force the drill bit or apply sideways pressure.

OPERATIONAL STEPS-DRIVING SCREWS

1) Make sure to use the correct screwdriver bit that correctly fits the screw being driven.

2) Fasten screwdriver bit into the chuck, making sure the flat of the bit are gripped by the chuck

jaws.

3) Set the torque setting ring to the appropriate setting as described in the adjustable torque

setting section.

DRILLING WOOD OR PLASTIC

If backup material is not used, ease up on the pressure just before the bit breaks through the

wood to avoid splintering. Finish the hole from the opposite side after the point breaks through.

If it binds, reverse the drilling operation to help remove the bit from the work.

DRILLING METAL

Make a center punch in the metal to be drilled for easier starting. Use just enough pressure to

have keep the bit cutting. Do not apply great pressure on this tool when drilling metals. When

drilling large holes, it is faster and easier on your power pack to first make a smaller hole and to

then enlarge it to the size desired. Lubricate the tip of the bit occasionally with light oil for easier

metal drilling. If it binds, reverse the drilling operation to help remove the bit from the work. It is

not recommended to drill holes larger than 3/8” diameter through soft steel thicker than 1/8”.

Drilling through metal rapidly drains energy from your battery.

DRILLING MASONRY

Use carbide-tipped masonry bits for cider blocks, mortar,common brick, soft stone and other

materials. The amount of pressure to be used is dependent upon the type of material being

drilled. Less pressure is needed for soft materials and more pressure for harder materials.

FASTENING WITH SCREWS

The illustration on the next page illustrates how to fasten materials together with your cordless

drill without stripping, splitting or separating the material being drilled.

1) Clamp the pieces together and drill a hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw to be used. If the

material is soft, drill up to 2/3 of the length of the screw to be used and for hard material drill

the entire length of the screw.

2) Unclamp the pieces and drill the second hole the same diameter as the screw shank in the

first or top piece of wood.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

3) If a flat head screw is used, coutersink the hole to make the head of the screw flush with the

surface of the piece of wood. Then, apply even pressure when driving the screw. The screw

shank clearance hole in the first or top piece allows the screw head to pull the two pieces

together.

WARNING: THERE ARE NO USER SERVICE-ABLE PARTS INSIDE

Preventative maintance performed by an unauthorized personnel may result in the misplacement

of internal wires and componenets which could cause serious hazards. We recommend that all

servicing be performed by a qualified KING CANADA service center technician.

BATTERIES

Pay attention to the battery power levels as the battery nears its end of life. If you notice a

decrease in battery performance or a significant difference in running power between charges,

then it is time to replace the battery. Failure to do so may damage the charger and cause

improper operation.

LONG TERM BATTERY STORAGE SHOULD BE IN THE DISCHARGE STATE. Batteries last

longer and recharge better when they are stored discharged. Fully recharge the battery before

using after prolonged storage.

TOOL LUBRICATION

This cordless drill has been properly lubricated and will never require additionnal lubrication.

CLEANING

To avoid accidents, always remove the battery from the cordless drill before cleaning. The tool is

most effectively cleaned with the use of an air compressor. Always wear safety glasses when

using an air compressor. Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of

foreign objects. Do not insert pointed objects through these openings in the attempt to clean them.

CAUTION: Some cleaning products and solvents can damage the plastic parts of your cordless

drill such as gasoline, chlorinated cleaning agents, ammonia and household detergents that

contain ammonia.
