General Safety Rules WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your line-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 1. Work area safety a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
. Service a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified technician using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Specific Safety Rules 1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. 2. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool. 3.
• Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock. 10. To reduce the risk of personal injury where the drill bit may contact hidden wiring, hold the tool by its plastic insulated gripping surfaces. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the Cordless Drill/Driver “live” and will shock the operator. 11.
the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.) 2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.
4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.) 5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Table A.) 6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. 7.

4. Insert the Battery (29) into the Charger Stand (23). (See Figure A.) 5. The Battery (29) will charge in approximately 3 to 5 hours. Do not charge the Battery for longer than 5 hours. Subsequent charges will also take between 3 and 5 hours. Allow the Charger Stand (23) to cool down before charging another Battery.

Operating Instructions Read the entire Important Safety Information section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product. To Operate The Forward/Reverse Switch 1. The three-position Forward/Reverse Switch (7) is located on top of the Power Switch (10). (See Figure C.) 2. When the Forward/Reverse Switch (7) is in the center, the Drill/Driver is in a “LOCKED” position. (See Figure C.) 3.
3. Hold the Keyless Chuck (1) firmly while turning the forward section of the Chuck counterclockwise. This opens the Chuck to accept the drill or screw driver bit. (See Figure D.) 4. Continue turning the Keyless Chuck (1) counterclockwise until the drill bit or screw driver slips into the Chuck Jaws. (See Figure D.) KEYLESS CHUCK (1) FORWARD SECTION DRILL BIT (NOT INCLUDED) FIGURE D 5.
2. A higher setting equals more torque; therefore, position #1 (low torque) is appropriate for driving screws into wood without stripping the screw, but would not provide enough torque for drilling or driving into harder materials. (See Figure E.) 3. Position #20 is indicated by a drill bit icon and should be used for drilling only. (See Figure E.) Drill Bit Selection 1. Always use sharp drill bits. Sharp bits are less likely to bind when drilling. 2. Use the proper drill bit for the job.
10. The Drill/Driver has a variable speed for drilling. To vary the speed of the drilling action, vary the pressure on the Power Switch (10). 11. Drill only as deep as is necessary. Do not drill deeper than necessary into walls or other areas where you cannot identify any possible hazards behind the drilling surface. 12. To reduce jamming as the drill bit breaks through the workpiece, decrease the drilling pressure when the point of the drill bit breaks through the surface of the workpiece. 13.
faster the Battery loses power. A Battery that gets too hot can be permanently damaged. Never over-discharge a Battery by using the tool even after tool performance is decreasing. Never attempt to discharge a tool’s Battery by continuing to pull the tool’s Power Switch. When tool performance begins to diminish, stop the tool, recharge the Battery and use the fresh Battery for optimal performance. • Place the Battery (29) into the Charger Stand (23) as described in the section “To Charge The Battery”.
