Operation
Starting Operation
Reversing the rotational direction
The rotational direction switch 9 is used to reverse the rotational direction of
the machine. However, this is not possible with the On/Off switch 8 actuated.
Right rotation: For driving in screws, push the rotational direction switch 9
left to the stop.
The indicator for right rotation 4 lights up when the On/Off switch 8
is actuated and the motor is running.
Left Rotation: For loosening or unscrewing screws, push the rotational di-
rection switch 9 right to the stop.
The indicator for left rotation 6 lights up when the On/Off switch 8
is actuated and the motor is running.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 8 and keep it pressed.
The power light 10 lights up when the On/Off switch 8 is slightly or complete-
ly pressed, and allows the work area to be illuminated when lighting condi-
tions are insufficient.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 8.
Fully automatic spindle locking (Auto-lock)
The drill spindle is locked when the On/Off switch 8 is not pressed.
This enables screws to be screwed in, even when the battery is empty and al-
lows for the machine to be used as a screwdriver.
 When the drilling spindle is locked, do not press the On/Off switch 8
for more than 15 seconds. Otherwise the power tool can be damaged.
Working Advice
 Apply the power tool to the screw only when it is switched off. Rotat-
ing tool inserts can slip off.
Up to 13 screwdriver bits can be stored on the side of the battery charger 12.
The fixture that holds the screwdriver bits can be removed.
