There is a possibility of fire hazard. Have the battery and charging unit checked by a qualified electrical service technician. G8600 18V Cordless Drill -6 OPERATION Inserting Battery Into Drill 1. Insert the battery into the handle of the drill so that the long end is forward. The battery will only install in one orientation. 2. Make sure the securing clasps on either side of the drill base engage with the clips on the battery compartment. Inserting and Removing Bits and Drivers: 1. Set the direction switch, located just above the trigger, so that it is in the center position. 2. Hold the chuck by the collar while turning the sleeve (the forward section). See Figure 2. This will cause the three chuck jaws located inside the recess to open or close depending upon the direction. 3. When the jaws are at the approximate diameter of the bit or driver, insert the shank end of the bit or driver into the jaw opening. 4. Turn the sleeve clockwise until it tightens around the bit or driver. Never “power tighten” which is holding the sleeve while running the drill. This can cause a loose grip on the bit or driver and potential damage to chuck jaws. Check for tightness periodically while using the tool. 5. To release the bit or driver, hold the chuck collar, and turn the sleeve counterclockwise. Fig 2. Inserting bits into the chuck. Operating this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). -7- G8600 18V Cordless Drill OPERATION, CONT’D Operating the drill 1. Set the Direction Switch for the desired rotation of the bit or driver. The direction switch is the sliding switch located just above the trigger. When looking down on the drill, pushing the switch all the way to the right will give a counterclockwise rotation (normally for loosening fasteners and bits), all the way to the left will be clockwise (normally for tightening fasteners and drilling holes). When the switch is in the center position it locks the switch to avoid accidentally starting the drill. 2. Set the Torque Setting Ring located just behind the chuck. This ring has 16 settings on it, and a pointer indicator embossed on the drill case. Set on 1 for very light applications such as driving screws into drywall. Use the higher settings for denser woods and materials. Use the drill bit symbol when boring holes. Using the proper torque setting will ensure that the fastener is not driven too deeply damaging the surface material, or in the worst case, stripped out of the hole due to over-torquing. 3. Pull the trigger to activate the drill. This drill is variable speed from 0 900 RPM, therefore the more you pull on the trigger, the faster the motor and chuck will rotate.

Always use sharpened drill bits. Do not apply excessive pressure to the drill while using. If the speed drops abnormally, decrease pressure immediately. If the bit stops abruptly or becomes blocked, release the trigger at once. Reverse the direction to free the drill bit. Ensure the safety of the workplace. Clear the work area of all parts and debris that may cause injury by flying objects. Securely fix the object to be drilled or fastened in a vise or otherwise clamp to avoid injury. Do not attempt to hold workpiece by hand. Inspect the drill before use. Run the drill before using to ensure all parts are running smoothly and there are no abnormal sounds or sparks. If any defect is found, have unit serviced. Match your speed to your torque. Use low torque and high speeds for boring through light materials. Use low torque and low speeds for driving screws into light materials. For the highest setting, combine a low speed with the “Drill Bit” symbol on the Torque Setting Ring. Know your worksite. Only drill as deep as necessary. Check behind walls for wires, other electrical hazards, or plumbing. Use accessories properly. Use the lowest possible torque setting when driving fasteners. This will increase the life span of the driving bit and prevent damage to the fastener. Maintenance Your cordless power tool will give you hundreds of hours of operation time before ever needing service. The electrical components of this cordless drill are not user serviceable. Repair should always be undertaken by a qualified electrical repair technician. Keep the drill free from dirt and grease. Always store it in a dry place, preferably in the case that is supplied. The battery will require periodic recharging, and eventually replacement after it has exceeded its recharge life (approximately 800-1000 recharge cycles). You will notice extended charging times or shortened operation time as the battery expe...
