(Original instructions)

u If the new battery gives the same indication as the original

battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised

services centre.

Note: It may take as long as 60 minutes to determine that

the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too

cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one

ash at each speed and repeat.

Selecting the torque or drill position (g. D)

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

screws.

u For drilling, set the collar (8) to the drilling position by

aligning the symbol with the marking (12).

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

u If you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as

follows:

t Set the collar (8) to position 1.

t Tighten the rst screw.

t 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.

Selecting the direction of rotation (g. E)

For drilling and 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.

Drilling/screwdriving

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

verse slider (2).

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

The tool speed depends on how far you press the switch.

u To switch the tool off, release the variable speed 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 masonry bits when drilling in soft masonry.

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.
