OPERATION
HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
Li-ion battery packs are equipped with a high temperature
protection feature that automatically deactivates the tool
when it is overheated. To resume operation, allow the tool
to cool and then squeeze the trigger.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When the tool is forced or the motor is overloaded, the tool
will automatically shut off. To reset the tool, release the trigger
and resume operation. If the tool still does not resume opera-
tion, remove and reinsert the battery. Do not force the tool.
RECOMMENDED BATTERY PACKS
OCTANE
tools are compatible with all RIDGID
™
battery packs, but tool performance is maximized with
OCTANE
battery packs.
™
If you experience frequent shutoffs due to overload protec-
tion, try using an OCTANE
LED LIGHT
The LEDs emit light from the base of the tool when either the
switch trigger or grip light switch is depressed.
If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the
light to start fading and then shut off.
The LED light illuminates only when there is a charged bat-
tery pack in the tool.
VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 2, page 10.
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
To turn the tool ON, depress the switch trigger.
To turn the tool OFF, release the switch trigger.
NOTE: A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch
during use is a normal part of the switch function.
NOTE: Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the tool to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the
tool by running it without a load and at full speed.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 3, page 11.
Set the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center lock)
position to lock the switch trigger and help prevent accidental
starting when not in use.
Position the direction of rotation selector to the left of the
switch trigger for forward operation. Position the selector to
the right of the switch trigger to reverse the direction.
NOTE: The tool will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.

The depth stop rod helps control the depth of drilled holes.
To adjust the depth stop rod:
Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
selector in the center position.
Press the depth stop rod release lever.
Adjust the depth stop rod so that the drill bit extends
beyond the end of the rod to the required drilling depth.
