arrow and pull the bit out firmly.
CAUTION:
• Do not touch the drill bit shortly after operating as it
gets hot. Replace the drill bit after cooling it down.
NOTE:
• If the bit is not inserted deep enough into the sleeve,
the sleeve will not return to its original position and the
bit will not be secured. In this case, try re-inserting the
bit according to the instructions above.
• After inserting the bit, make sure that it is firmly
secured. If it comes out, do not use it.
Hook (optional accessory) (Fig. 14)
CAUTION:
• When installing the hook, tighten the screw firmly.
Failure to do so may cause the breakage of the tool or
personal injury.
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw. To
remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.
OPERATION (Fig. 15)
CAUTION:
• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it
locks in place with a little click. If you can see the red
indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not locked
completely. Install it fully until the red indicator cannot
be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool,
causing injury to you or someone around you.
• If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15
minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
