Ryobi 18V One 201 Instructions

The Ryobi P201 is part of the Ryobi "One" series of products. These products are designed so that the same type of batteries are interchangeable between a variety of products. This makes it possible to charge one battery while using the other in many different tools, and quickly switching the battery from tool to tool is simple as well. The Ryobi P201 is an 18 volt battery powered drill with a keyless chuck system and a two-speed gear train to switch between drilling and driving, and it also supports variable speeds.
