The “power tool” in this instruction refers to your battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric

shock.

•

Avoid body contact with earthed

or grounded surfaces, such as

pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators.

There is an increased risk

of electric shock if your body is earthed or

grounded.

•

Do not expose power tools to rain

or wet conditions.

Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric

shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges and moving parts.

Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

•

If operating a power tool in a

damp location is unavoidable, use

a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply.

Use of an RCD

reduces the risk of electric shock.

1) Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power

tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

2) Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in

any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with earthed (grounded)

power tools.

INSTRUCTIONS

Starting Operation

Inserting the Battery

Battery Charging

• Put the battery pack in the charger stand.

Make sure it is placed correctly ( + and - )

• Plug in the socket-outlet( 100-240V~ )

• When the indicator light starts burning this

means the battery pack is now being charged.

Normally it will take 1-1.5hour to fully charge

the battery.

When the red indicator light turned off and

green indictor light turned on, this means the

battery is fully charged.

• Unplug the plug after charging

Use only original lithium ion batteries with the voltage listed on the nameplate of your power tool.

Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.

1) Set the rotational direction switch 6 to the

centre position in order to avoid

unintentional starting.

2) Insert the charged battery 9 into the handle

as Pic.B shown so that it can be felt to

engage and faces flush against the handle.

2. Note:

The power light 5 lights up when the On/Off switch 7 is slightly depressed, and enables illumination of the screwing location in unfavorable light conditions.

HELPLINE NO 08454 505299

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

3. Switching off:

To stop the appliance, release the On/Off switch 7.

Light pressure on the On/Off switch 7 results in a low rotational speed. Further pressure on the switch results in an increase in speed.

4. Reversing the Rotational Direction

The rotational direction switch 6 is used to reverse the rotational direction of the machine.

However, this is not possible with the

On/Off switch 7 actuated.

5. Setting the Torque

The required torque can be preselected in 16 steps with the torque preselection ring 2.

With the correct setting, the insert tool is stopped as soon as the screw is screwed flush into the material or when the set torque is reached.

If you are going to drill a hole in wood or steel set the torque ring to the symbol “Drilling” .

If you are going to drill a hole in masory,l set the torque ring to the symbol “Hammer” .

6. Gear Selection, Mechanical

• Actuate the gear selector 3 only when the machine is at a standstill.

Two speed ranges can be

preselected with the gear selector 3.

Gear 1:

Low speed range; for screwdriving or working with large drilling diameter.

Gear 2:

High speed range; for working with small drilling diameter.

If the gear selector 3 cannot be fully engaged, lightly rotate the driver spindle with the drill bit by twisting the drill chuck.

8. LCD battery level display

When press the On/Off switch 7, the LCD display 10 indicates the battery level.

9. Run-on Brake

When the On/Off switch 7 is released, the chuck brakes to a stop, thus preventing the run-on of the tool.

When driving in screw, wait until the screw is screwed in flush with the material and then release the On/Off switch 7. By doing so, the head of the screw does not penetrate into the material.

10. Protection Against Deep

Discharging

The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharging by the “Electronic Cell Protection

(ECP)”. When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.

11. Operating Instructions

• Apply the power tool to the screw only

when it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts

can slip off.

7. Adjusting the Speed

The speed of the switched on power tool can be variably adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch 7 is pressed.

12. Soft Grip

The gripping surface (soft grip 4) reduces the danger of slipping and thereby improves the grip on the machine and the handling.

At the same time, the rubber coating achieves a vibration-reducing effect.
