Does it come with a battery and charger?

This specific variant includes one 5.0Ah battery. Please check the product packaging or listing for confirmation on whether a charger is included, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not turn on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check if the battery contacts are clean. Verify the direction switch is not set to the center lock position.

Reduced power or performance

The battery may be low on charge; recharge it. Clean any dust or debris from the tool's ventilation slots and the battery contacts.

Chuck is difficult to open or close

Ensure no debris is obstructing the chuck mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the chuck if necessary and operate it several times.

KickBack Control activates frequently

This is a safety feature. Ensure you are using the correct bit for the material and application. Do not force the tool; let the tool do the work. If drilling into very hard materials, ensure the bit is sharp and suitable for the task.
