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.

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

Operating the drill
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

as the drill.
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.
