Power Requirements
WARNING
Tools with double insulation and reinforced insulation are equipped with a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). This plug will only fit in the right way into a polarized outlet. If the plug cannot be introduced into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still doesn’t fit, call a qualified electrician to install for you a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. Both types of insulation eliminates the need of both a grounded third power cord with three prongs or a grounded power connection.
WARNING When using an extension cable, verify the gauge is enough for the power that your product needs. A lower gauge cable will cause voltage drop in the line, resulting in power loss and overheating. The following table shows the right size to use depending on cable’s length and the ampere capability shown in the tool’s nameplate. When in doubt use the next higher gauge.
* It is safe to use only if the extensions have a built-in artifact for over current protection.
AWG = American Wire Gauge. Reference: NMX-J-195-ANCE

If the battery liquid comes into contact with your eyes, clean with enough water and immediately go see the doctor. Liquid expelled from the batteries could cause irritation or burns.
- Remove battery when not in use.
- CAUTION If the battery will be stored for long periods of time, keep an intermediate charge (40%) to maximize its useful life. Do not leave it completely charged for long periods of time, or leave it charging when not in use.
- Keep batteries away from children reach.
- Do not discard batteries together with household trash. Go to a specialized center for it’s recycling.
Choose the right accessory
CAUTION
- Choose the right bit for the work piece. It reduces the risk of severe injury and makes the job easier.
- To work on metal or plastic, use bits suitable for metal. Sizes encompass a minimum of 0.05” and up to the chuck maximum capacity.
- On wood, use regular bits suitable for wood. In any case, to drill 0.25” or smaller orifices, use bits designed to drill on metal.
- Do not try using bits exceeding the chuck capacity.
Before operating the tool
- Take your time to assess the job to be done and double check you are paying attention to the necessary caution advices before starting to drill.
- Adjust correctly the bit into the chuck.
- Verify the switch is in the OFF position
DANGER before inserting the battery. Otherwise it will start working unexpectedly, causing severe injuries. - Turn off and disconnect the tool before
CAUTION reversing the chuck rotation direction, as well as setting up or replacing a bit.
Use the auxiliary handles, it supplied whith the tool.
Loosing control may caus personal injuries
While operating the tool
- Hold the tool by it’s isolated surfaces designed for that purpose, especially when making jobs where the bit might contact hidden wiring. Contact with a power cable makes the metallic parts of the tool will be energized as well and produce a short circuit to the operator.
- Do not submit the tool to excessive loads.
- If the bit gets stuck in the work piece,
CAUTION turn off the tool immediately. Then, remove the bit from the work piece. Do not try to remove stuck bits turning on and off the tool. - Do not put excessive pressure on the tool to accelerate boring. Otherwise the bit will get damaged and the tool efficiency will diminish as well as it working life.
WARNING - The largest the bit diameter, the reactive force is higher. The reactive force is higher causing loss of control over the tool. To prevent this possibility hold firmly the tool with both hands, and keep good footing while boring at 90°.
- Stay alert and ready to relax the force when the bit goes through the material. Sudden movements can break the bit or damage the tool.
CAUTION - Do not touch the bit or the orifices immediately after drilling. Wait for them to cool off to manipulate. Do not try to cool them with water or oil.
- Before leaving the tool aside make sure all the moving parts have come to a complete stop.
- Avoid setting the tool where there are particles and / or dust immediately after use. These can get absorbed inside the tool mechanism and damage the machine.
Wear hearing protectors when making jobs with a noise level higher than 85 dB.- Wear anti-dust mask and dust extraction equipment if necessary. Remember that working with materials like asbestos, leaded paint, additives, some types of wood, metals or minerals are highly toxic.
- Wear safety eyeglasses.
Parts
Preparation
Loading the Battery
- Plug in the charger in a 127 V~(The green light of the charging indicator turns on) power outlet.
- Insert the battery into the charger sliding it as shown in the figure. The green light will turn off and the red light should come on.
• When the battery is completely charged, the green light will be on and the red light will be off.
• Disconnect the charger from the power once the charge is completed.
Battery failures
• If the red light flashes it is a sign that the battery has a delay caused by the heat; wait until the battery temperature is in the proper range to be able to charge.
• The red light remains on exceeding the recommended charging time or if the red and green light flash alternately it is a sign that the battery is defective; you must replace it or use a Authorized Service Center.
Preparation
Important load considerations
- Longer life and better performance can be obtained if the battery unit is charged in room temperature between 5ºC and 45ºC. Allow a hot battery pack to cool before charging.
- The charger and battery unit may heat up slightly during the charging process. This is normal and does not represent any problem. To make it easier to cool the battery unit after use, avoid placing the charger or battery unit in a warm place, such as a metal shed or trailer without thermal insulation.
- The battery unit should be recharged when it is not able to produce enough power for jobs that were easily performed before. DO NOT CONTINUE to use it under these circumstances. Follow the charging procedure.
- The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
- For optimal results during extended storage times, it is recommended to store the fully charged battery unit in a cool, dry place outside the charger.
Tool/battery protection system
CAUTION
- The tool is equipped with a system that automatically stops the tool to prolong both its useful life and that of the batteries, this happens in the following cases:
Overload. When the tool is forced, the battery consumes abnormally high current levels. Suspend overexertion work and turn the tool back on.
Overheating. Let the tool and battery cool before turning it back on.
Over-discharge. The battery level is low. In this case, remove the battery from the tool and charge it.
Batteries
- To install the battery in the tool handle, align the battery unit with the rails on the inside of the tool handle and slide it into the handle until the battery unit is firmly inserted into the tool; check that ir does not come off by itself.
- To remove the battery from de tool, press the release button (A) and firmly pull the battery out of the tool handle.
- To make sure the battery is charged, press the indicator button (B). The color of the light indicates the charge level. Remaining battery capacity
NOTE: Depending on the conditions of use and ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the actual capacity.
Bits or adaptors assembly
- Set the direction button in the locked position (center).
- Hold the Chuck base firmly with one hand and with the other hand turn the tip of the chuck counter clockwise, so that the jaws loosen.
- Insert the bit until it stops or remove it whichever the situation.
- Turn the drill bit clockwise to secure the drill bit. The drill bitis equipped with a retention lock that is activated by turning the drill bit, once the drill bit is secured; a click will be heard.
Direction of rotation
- To bore and screw release the switch and and press the direction button on the side where marks point towards the chuck.
- To reverse the turn, and unscrew press it on the other side.
- The drill switch will get blocked if the button sits in the middle.
- CAUTION The first time you turn on the drill and after reversing rotation you might hear a click. This in normal and does not represent a problem.
- CAUTION To prevent damaging the tool, never reverse the rotation direction while the drill is running.
Speed selection
- The two speeds in the drill work in a similar manner to those used in cars.
- Low speed (1) will give a lot of torque (torsion power). Use this speed when starting to drill large orifices, be it wood or metal. This will prevent the bit to get stuck.
- High speed (2) has a reduced torque but lets the drill operate with higher revolutions per minute, that make the tool when in the drill function to bore faster lean metal or wood.
Torque Adjust
- To select the desired torque level to screw drive, turn the torque regulator until it matches the corresponding number with the upper mark: From 1 to 4 for small screws,
From 5 to 9 for screws on soft materials, From 10 to 15 for screws on soft and hard material On 16 to 21, for larger screws. - To bore metal, wood or plastic turn the torque regulator into the ROTATION ( ) position.
- CAUTION The torque level necessary depends on the type of screw to be used and the material onto which you are working. If in doubt use a lower torque and increase gradually until reaching the right one. An adequate torque prevents damaging the tool.
Start Up
Turn On and operation control
- The switch allows selecting the adequate speed for each job. The more you push the switch the fastest the drill will run.
- The cordless tool is equipped with a brake function. Once you release the switch, the cordless tool will stop immediately, and you can use it as a manual screwdriver for screwing an extra turn.
Screwing – Unscrewing
- It is recommended to first bore a “pilot orifice”; slightly longer and barely narrower than the measurements of the screw. This orifice will be the entry guide for the screw and will make it easier to tighten. When screwing near the edge of a work piece, a pilot orifice prevents the wood from cracking.
- Use the adequate type of tip for each screw head to prevent the screw from sticking over from the surface.
- If inserting the screw gets difficult, remove and try to bore a slightly longer or wider orifice. However keep in mind there should be enough material to fasten the screw. If you reinitiate the screwing operation in an already-made orifice, start threading it by hand. If still difficult to thread the screw (as with noble woods), try using lubricants like soap. Liquid soap is more useful.
- Always apply enough pressure on the drill to prevent the screw head to slide. It is easy that the screw head gets damaged, making it difficult to completely get inserted or even to remove it.
Drilling
- When trying to bore large diameter orifices it is better to start with a narrow bit and then replace it with the required size. This prevents overloading the drill.
- When drilling deep orifices remove the bit a little and regularly while boring to allow the shavings to be correctly expelled from the orifice.
- If the bit gets stuck, immediately release the switch to prevent damaging the tool. Try to release the bit reversing the operation direction.
- CAUTION Keep the drill aligned regarding the orifice. Ideally the bit shall enter the work piece perpendicularly. If the angle is changed while drilling, it could make the bit to break and block the orifice or causing personal injury.
Additional recommendations
- Use the adequate speed for each job: do not try to bore at low speeds or to screw at high speeds.
- If the operation overloads the drill, take it out and repeat the operation applying less strength.
- Use low speeds to start bores where there is no support point; on plastic or metal; when screwing, boring ceramic or any other application that requires a high torque. Use high speeds to drill woods and using polishing devices.
- To get a longer drill duty life, use the variable speed control.
