FAQs

What is the battery life?

Battery life varies depending on the task, but the 1500mAh battery typically provides sufficient power for numerous light-duty tasks on a single charge. Recharge fully before extensive use.

Can I use this drill for masonry?

No, this drill driver is not designed for use on brick, concrete, or other masonry materials. Its power and torque are limited to softer materials like wood and plastic.

What size drill bits can I use?

The drill is designed for standard 1/4-inch hex shank bits. The included accessory set provides a range of common sizes for various tasks.

How do I switch between drilling and screwdriving?

To switch functions, simply change the bit in the chuck. Use drill bits for making holes and screwdriver bits for driving screws.

Is this drill suitable for professionals?

This drill is best suited for home DIY projects, light repairs, and hobbyist use. It is not intended for heavy-duty professional applications.

How long does it take to charge?

Charging time can vary, but typically a full charge takes approximately 2-3 hours using a standard USB power adapter.

Does it come with a charger?

The set includes a USB-C cable for charging. You will need to provide your own USB power adapter (e.g., a phone charger or USB port).

Troubleshooting

Drill not powering on

Ensure the battery is charged. Check that the forward/reverse switch is not stuck in the center 'lock' position. Try a different USB-C cable and power source for charging.

Bit not secure in chuck

Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the chuck and that the chuck is properly tightened. If using an extension, ensure it is also securely attached to the drill.

Low power or slow speed

The battery may be low; recharge the drill. Ensure there are no obstructions in the material being drilled or screwed. Do not force the tool beyond its intended capacity.

LED light not working

The LED is typically activated by the trigger. Ensure the trigger is being pressed. If the light still fails, contact customer support as the LED may require servicing.
