Temporary abnormal temperature condition
Note: If the lights on the Battery Charger (11) fail to illuminate according to the chart above or
indicate a fault condition:
•
Check the battery is firmly seated in the Battery Charger
•
Check all connections and that mains power is switched on
Initial charge
•
The initial charge will vary depending on the existing charge in the battery. Allow the
battery to reach full charge as indicated on the Battery Charger
•
After discharging, recharge the battery completely, as indicated by the LED on the battery
charger, for the next 4 to 5 uses. This will ensure that the Battery is performing to its
highest capacity
•
Subsequent full charges will take approximately 80 minutes (T20HCB: 4Ah battery).
However, the Battery can be recharged when the Battery is only partially discharged
Re-charging the battery
•
After use, a lithium-ion battery must be allowed to cool down before charging
•
If a hot battery is inserted into the charger both LEDs will illuminate. The charger will
begin to charge when the Battery has cooled sufficiently (this may take several minutes)
Battery - length of service
•
The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of workload. The
battery charger and battery for this drill have been designed to provide a long trouble-free
working life. The charger intelligently monitors the condition of the battery and selects
the ideal charging rate for the condition of the battery. It protects the battery from over-
charging or charging at too high a rate. However, like all batteries, performance will be
reduced over time
To maximise battery life:
•
Store and charge the battery in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will reduce battery life
•
Never store lithium-ion batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately
after they are discharged. For storing long term, store at a high-charge level or fully
charged
•
All batteries gradually lose their charge, even lithium-ion batteries, but the discharge rate
is very low. If the drill is stored for long periods of time without use, recharge the battery
every three to four months and disconnect the battery from the power tool before it is
stored. This practice will prevent the lithium-ion battery being damaged when stored
Fitting a drill or driver bit
WARNING: DO NOT fit any attachment with a maximum speed lower than the no load speed
of the machine.
1. Rotate the Keyless Chuck (1) collar clockwise and insert the bit into the chuck
2. Rotate the Keyless Chuck collar anti-clockwise to secure the drill bit
Note: DO NOT run the tool whilst tightening or releasing the chuck. Ideally select the locked
middle position of the Forward/Reverse Switch (5).
3. When the bit is held tightly, test that it is positioned centrally by running the tool. The bit
should rotate smoothly without uneven rotation. If the bit is not central, release the chuck,
reposition the bit and retighten the chuck
Direction control
•
The rotation direction can be set using the Forward/Reverse Switch (5)
•
To let the chuck rotate clockwise, push the Forward/Reverse Switch to the left
•
To let the chuck rotate anti-clockwise, push the Forward/Reverse Switch to the right
•
When the Forward/Reverse Switch is in the central position, the tool is locked
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to move the Forward/Reverse Switch when the tool is running

WARNING: The drill can be fitted with a drive adaptor for use with driving nuts and bolts. Do
not attempt to use this tool in the drill position when doing so. Use the 16 torque settings and
the first gear to allow the torque clutch to protect the tool from excessive load. The use of a
spanner to loosen or tighten a nut/bolt is recommended. This allows the tool to speed up the
operation, without risk of damage when high torque is required at the beginning or end of
the operation.

Switching on and off
•
•
•
Note: It is possible the drill may switch off during heavy use due to thermal protection of the
battery and internal components. This may prevent the tool being used again for a short period
of time and does not represent a fault condition.

This drill driver features a 2-speed gearbox:
Use the Gear Selector (4) to set the gear: forward for first gear, back for second gear
This drill driver is fitted with torque control, which limits the torque output of the drill,
enabling screws to be driven without the risk of damage
There are 16 torque settings and two drill settings. The lower the number, the lower the
torque
To adjust the torque, select the first gear and rotate the Torque Adjustment Collar (2) until
the setting you require is aligned with the arrow on the combi hammer drill housing
Check that the torque setting is correct by practising first on a piece of scrap material
For drilling, select the correct gear, then rotate the Mode Selector (3) to the drill symbol
This will lock the tool for maximum torque
For screwdriving, select the correct gear, then rotate the Mode Selector to the screw
symbol
. This will activate the torque clutch
For masonry drilling, select the correct gear, then rotate the Mode Selector to the hammer
symbol
. This will lock the tool for maximum torque and activate impact hammer
function
WARNING: Always use adequate protective equipment, including eye protection,
To start the tool, squeeze the Speed Control Trigger Switch (6). The LED Work Light (10)
will illuminate
Further pressure on the Speed Control Trigger Switch will increase the running speed of
the tool
Release the Speed Control Trigger Switch to stop the tool
Use sharp drill bits and ensure that drill bits are suitable for the material being drilled
Never exceed the maximum drilling capacities listed in 'Specification'
Begin drilling at slow speeds by partially squeezing the Speed Control Trigger Switch (6)
Reduce pressure on the Speed Control Trigger Switch when the drill bit is about to break
through to the other side of material
To avoid splintering on breakthrough, either clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back
of the workpiece or continue the hole from the back of the wood when the drill bit first
breaks through
Support thin material with a piece of scrap wood
Mark the intended hole position using a hammer and centre punch
Use only HSS (high speed steel) drill bits or others recommended for drilling into metal
Prior to drilling large holes, use a smaller bit to drill a pilot hole
Use a suitable coolant/lubricant to prolong the service life of the drill bit, and produce good
results
Always use a masonry drill bit, preferably a TCT masonry bit, when drilling into walls,
stone or concrete
DO NOT apply too much pressure to the back of the tool. If debris blocks the drill hole, run
the drill slowly and remove the bit from the hole. Repeat until the hole is clear of debris
and continue
