Use

Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.

Charging the battery (g. A & B)

The battery needs to be charged before rst use and whenev-

er it fails to produce sufcient power on jobs that were easily

done before. The battery may become warm while charging;

this is normal and does not indicate a problem.

Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures

below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging tem-

perature: approx. 24 °C.

Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell

temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.

The battery should be left in the charger and the charger

will begin to charge automatically when the cell tempera-

ture warms up or cools down.

u To charge the battery, insert the charger lead into the

charge socket (6). The charger lead will only t into the

charging socket in one way. Do not force. Be sure that the

charger lead is fully seated in the charging socket.

u Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.

The charging indicator (3) will ash continuously (slowly).

The charge is complete when the charging indicator (3) lights

continuously. The charger and the battery can be left connect-

ed indenitely with the LED illuminated. The LED will change

to ashing green (charging) state as the charger occasionally

tops up the battery charge. The charging indicator (3) will be lit

as long as the battery is connected to the plugged-in charger.

u Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will

be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.

Selecting the direction of rotation (g. C)

For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward (clockwise)

rotation. For loosening screws or removing a jammed drill bit,

use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.

u To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse slider

(2) to the left.

u To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse slider

to the right.

u To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider into the

centre position.

Selecting the torque (g. D)

This tool is tted with a collar to set the torque for various

screwdriving and drilling applications. Large screws and hard

workpiece materials require a higher torque setting than small

screws and soft workpiece materials. For the denition of the

symbol refer to the listing below.

u For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the torque

adjustment collar (4) to the

symbol.

u For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If

you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as

follows:

- Set the torque adjustment collar (4) to the lowest torque

setting.

- Tighten the rst screw.

- If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is

achieved, increase the collar setting and continue

tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct

setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws.

Drilling/screwdriving

u Select forward or reverse rotation using the forward/re-

verse slider (2).

u To switch the tool on, press the switch (1).

u To switch the tool off, release the switch.

Hints for optimum use

Drilling

u Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the drill

bit.

u Just before the drill tip breaks through the other side of the

workpiece, decrease pressure on the tool.

u Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that may

splinter.

u Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in wood.

u Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.

u Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than cast iron

and brass.

u Make an indentation using a centre punch at the centre of

the hole to be drilled in order to improve accuracy.

Screwdriving

u Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.

u If screws are difcult to tighten, try applying a small

amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.

u Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line

with the screw.
