How do I change the drill bit?

For the combi drill, use the keyless chuck. For the impact driver, use the one-touch bit changing system.

What is the warranty?

How do I use the pre-glow function on the impact driver?

The pre-glow function illuminates the work area before the tool starts. This is a built-in feature and turns on automatically when the trigger is pressed.
