it will go with your other hand in direction of the
arrow -3-.
7.6 Unscrewing the chuck
(To screw without a chuck or when using

ended spanner. Clamp an Allen key in the chuck
and strike lightly with a rubber hammer to loosen,
then unscrew.

The chuck must be screwed firmly to the
spindle. If rotated counter-clockwise (e.g.
when screwing) it could otherwise become loose.

attached, the screwdriver bit inserted in the
hexagon socket of the spindle is held in place.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Only for cordless machines; the
machine's multifunctional monitoring
system
If the machine switches off automatically, the
machine electronics have activated automatic
protection mode.
In spite of this protective function, overloading
is still possible with certain applications and
can result in damage to the machine.
Causes and remedies:
1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics
prevent the battery pack from discharging totally
and avoid irreparable damage).
If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost
flat. (13) If necessary, press the (14) button and
check the LEDs (13) to see the charge level. If
the battery pack is almost flat, it must be
recharged.
2. Long continuous overloading of the machine will
activate the temperature cut-out.
Leave the machine or battery pack to cool.
Note: If the battery pack feels very warm, the
pack will cool more quickly in your "AIR
COOLED" charger.
Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you
operate it at idling speed.
3. If the current is too high (for example, if the
machine seizes continuously for long periods),
the machine switches off.
Switch off the machine at the trigger switch (6).
Then continue working as normal. Try to prevent
the machine from seizing.
ENG 9. Accessories

Use only accessories which fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating
instructions.
