Configurar

1. Carregando a bateria

Before first use, fully charge the battery pack. Insert the battery pack into the charger, ensuring it clicks into place. The charger indicator light will show the charging status. Once fully charged, remove the battery from the charger.

2. Instalação/Remoção da bateria

To install the battery, slide it into the base of the drill handle until it locks securely. To remove, press the battery release button (usually located at the front or sides of the battery) and slide the battery out.

3. Instalação/Remoção de Brocas ou Pontas de Parafusadeira

The HIKOKI DS18DAWCZ features a 13mm keyless chuck for quick and easy bit changes. To install a bit, rotate the chuck counter-clockwise to open the jaws. Insert the bit fully into the chuck, then rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws firmly around the bit. Ensure the bit is centered and secure before operation. To remove, rotate the chuck counter-clockwise to loosen and pull the bit out.

Instruções de operação

1. Acionamento liga/desliga e gatilho de velocidade variável

The drill is activated by pressing the trigger switch. The speed of the drill is variable and controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the trigger. Pressing lightly results in lower speed, while pressing fully results in maximum speed. Release the trigger to turn the drill off.

2. Forward/Reverse Rotation Switch

A switch located above the trigger controls the direction of rotation. Push the switch to the left for forward (clockwise) rotation, suitable for drilling and driving screws. Push it to the right for reverse (counter-clockwise) rotation, used for removing screws or freeing a jammed drill bit. Ensure the switch is in the desired position before starting the drill.

3. 2-Speed Gear Selector

The drill features a 2-speed gear selector switch located on top of the tool. Position '1' provides lower speed and higher torque, ideal for driving screws and drilling larger holes. Position '2' provides higher speed and lower torque, suitable for faster drilling of smaller holes. Always select the appropriate gear before starting the drill.

4. Torque Adjustment Collar (20-Stage Clutch)

The torque adjustment collar, located behind the chuck, allows you to set the desired torque for screw driving applications. It has 20 settings, plus a drill mode. Rotate the collar to align the desired number with the indicator mark. Lower numbers provide less torque, preventing over-tightening or stripping screw heads. The drill symbol bypasses the clutch for maximum torque, suitable for drilling.

5. Luz LED integrada

The integrated LED light illuminates the work area when the trigger is pulled, improving visibility in dimly lit conditions.

6. Drilling and Screw Driving

For drilling, select the drill mode on the torque collar and the appropriate speed gear. Apply steady, even pressure. For screw driving, select a torque setting appropriate for the screw size and material. Start slowly and increase speed as needed. The clutch will disengage when the set torque is reached, preventing over-driving.

The drill is capable of drilling up to 13mm in mild steel and 36mm in wood. For screw driving, it can handle wood screws up to 6 x 75mm.

Manutenção

1. Limpeza

Limpe regularmente as aberturas de ventilação da ferramenta para evitar o superaquecimento. Use um pano macio e seco.amp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Keep the chuck jaws free of debris.

2. Cuidados com a bateria
