CHARGING SAFETY  
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS and  
7. IF CHARGER LIGHT FAILS TO  
COME ON check the incoming  
power supply. If power source is  
okay, then the fuse inside the  
warnings on the battery and charg-  
er before charging the battery.  
2. CHARGE ONLY USING THE SUP-  
PLIED CHARGER AND BAT-  
TERY. Do not use with other batter-  
ies, chargers or drills.  
charger  
needs  
replacement.  
Charger should be serviced by a  
qualified electrical technician only.  
8. CHARGER HAS A POLARIZED  
PLUG (one prong is wider than the  
other). Do not attempt to modify the  
plug. Modifying the plug will result  
in a safety hazard and will void the  
warranty.  
3. DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERY OR  
CHARGER TO WET OR RAINY  
CONDITIONS. Moisture greatly  
increases the risk of a shock haz-  
ard.  
4. DO NOT TOUCH BATTERY  
POLES with any conductive materi-  
als. Touching any two poles at the  
same time causes a short condition  
and can cause sparks, electrical  
shock or fire.  
9. CHARGER IS DESIGNED TO  
OPERATE AT 110-120 VOLTS.  
Never try to plug into any circuit that  
is not 110-120 volts. Never modify  
or change the plug that is attached  
to the charger unit to attempt to  
plug into 220 volt. This can cause  
serious electrical damage to the  
unit, possible fire or explosion.  
5. DO NOT STORE BATTERY WITH  
CONDUCTIVE  
MATERIALS.  
Storing the battery in a box of  
screws or nails can cause shorting  
across the battery poles.  
6. DO NOT THROW BATTERY IN  
FIRE. Combustion of some of the  
batteries’ component materials can  
cause toxic fumes and possible  
explosion.  
BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED  
OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.  
Consult your local Yellow Pages direc-  
tory under the category “Recycling” to  
locate a battery recycler in your area.

5. When the battery is fully charged, the  
red light will go off and the unit will  
stop charging. Remove the battery  
from the charger upon completion of  
the charge cycle.  
The battery in your new cordless power  
tool will not be fully charged when you  
receive it. To maximize the storage capac-  
ity of the battery it should be completely  
discharged, then fully recharged 3-5 times.  
For optimal life span, completely discharge  
the battery before recharging. Follow the  
instructions below to charge your battery.  
Battery charging with the  
1
hour  
“Smart” charger (1 piece charger):  
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate  
110/120V outlet.  
2. Insert the battery into the charger.  
The battery fits into the oval recess in  
only one way. Do not force the bat-  
tery. Insert until it locks into place.  
3. The green light over the word “OFF”  
on the control panel should come on.  
If it doesn’t, make certain the wall out-  
let you are plugged into is working. If  
the outlet power is okay, the fuse  
inside the charger may have blown.  
Fuses should be replaced by a quali-  
fied electrical technician.  
Never leave a battery unattend-  
ed while charging. While charg-  
ing will make the battery and  
charging unit warm, if it  
becomes hot to the touch, dis-  
connect the charger immediate-  
ly. There is a possibility of fire  
hazard. Have the battery and  
charging unit checked by a qual-  
ified electrical service techni-  
cian.

DRILL OPERATION  
Inserting Battery Into Drill  
1. Insert the battery into the handle of  
the drill so that the long end is for-  
ward. 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 compart-  
ment.  
Inserting and Removing Bits and  
Drivers:  
Fig 1. Inserting bits into the chuck.  
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 sec-  
tion). See Figure 1. This will cause  
the three chuck jaws located inside  
the recess to open or close depend-  
ing 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 tight-  
ens 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.  
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

er indicator embossed on the drill  
case. Set on 1 for very light applica-  
tions such as driving screws into dry-  
wall. Use the higher settings up to 5  
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.  
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, push-  
ing 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 fas-  
teners and drilling holes). When the  
switch is in the center position it locks  
the switch to avoid accidentally start-  
ing the drill.  
3. Pull the trigger to activate the drill.  
This drill is variable speed from 0 -  
600 RPM, therefore the more you pull  
on the trigger, the faster the motor  
and chuck will rotate.  
2. Set the Torque Setting Ring located  
just behind the chuck. This ring has

Transfer the battery pack to the flashlight  
device. The battery snaps into the base  
the same as the drill.  
Install the desired sandpaper grit onto the  
triangular sanding pad. Please consult to  
Grizzly catalog or website for ordering  
information for sandpaper. The sandpaper  
attaches by means of a hook and loop  
material. Be certain the replacement sand-  
paper purchased is of this type.  
Slide the switch to the ON position  
The oscillating motion of the triangular  
sanding pad provides fast cutting action for  
detail and intricate sanding. The detail  
sander is excellent for hard-to-reach  
places like the corners of a picture frame.  
Both wood and metal materials can be  
sanded with this device as long as the  
appropriate types of sandpaper are  
installed. Always be sure to check the  
sandpaper for loading and sharpness of  
grit. Change the sandpaper when the  
paper loses its surface, or when the edges  
become torn or loose.

OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTE-  
Maintenance  
Operating Guides and Tips  
Avoid overloading the drill or sander.  
Do not apply excessive pressure to  
the drill or sander while using. If the  
speed drops abnormally, decrease  
pressure immediately. When drilling,  
if the bit stops abruptly or becomes  
blocked, release the trigger at once.  
Reverse the direction to free the drill  
bit.  
Your cordless power tool will give you hun-  
dreds of hours of operation time before  
ever needing service. The electrical com-  
ponents 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.  
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 sanded in a vise or other-  
wise clamp to avoid injury. Do not  
attempt to hold workpiece by hand.  
The battery will require periodic recharg-  
ing, and eventually replacement after it  
has exceeded its recharge life (approxi-  
mately 800-1000 recharge cycles). You  
will notice extended charging times or  
shortened operation time as the battery  
experiences more cycles. Battery must  
be recycled or disposed of properly.  
Refer to the Grizzly catalog for replace-  
ment batteries.  
Inspect the drill or sander 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 drill 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.  
Disassembly and improper reassem-  
bly of this device can result in electri-  
cal shock danger. Always have this  
device serviced by an qualified elec-  
trical repair technician. Serious injury  
will result.  
Know your worksite. Only drill as deep  
as necessary. Check behind walls  
for wires, other electrical hazards, or  
plumbing.  
Use accessories properly. Use the low-  
est possible torque setting when dri-  
ving fasteners. This will increase the  
life span of the driving bit and pre-  
vent damage to the fastener.
