6.1 Charging the LI battery pack (Fig. 2/3)
1. Take the rechargeable battery pack out of the
handle (Fig. 2), pressing the pushlock buttons at
the side to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that
marked on the rating plate of the battery charger.
Plug the battery charger in the socket.
3. Insert the battery pack in the battery charger. The
green LED will come on. Press the "SET" button
to charge the battery pack. The red LED will
come on to indicate that the battery pack is being
charged. The green LED will come on to indicate
that charging has been completed. The

If the battery pack fails to become charged, please
check
whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet
whether there is proper contact at the charging
contacts on the charger.

If the battery still fails to become charged, please
return
the charger
the battery pack
to our Customer Service Department.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service,
you should take care to recharge it promptly. You
must recharge the battery pack when you notice that
the power of the cordless screwdriver drops.
Never fully discharge the battery pack. This will cause
it to develop a defect!
6.2 Torque setting (Fig. 4 / Item 1)
The cordless screwdriver is fitted with a mechanical
torque selector.
The torque for a specific size of screw is selected
with the set-collar (1). The correct torque depends on
several factors:
on the type and hardness of material in question
on the type and length screws used
on the requirements needing to be met by the
screwed joint.
The clutch disengages with a grating sound to
indicate when the set torque is reached.
Important! The tool must be at a standstill when
you set the torque with the setting ring.
6.3 Drilling (Fig. 4 / Item 1)
For drilling purposes, move the set-collar to the last
step „Drill". In this setting the slip clutch is inactive.
The maximum torque is available in drilling mode.
6.4 Forward/Reverse switch (Fig. 5 / Item 3)
With the slide switch above the On/Off switch you
can select the direction of rotation of the battery-
powered drill/screwdriver and secure it against being
switched on accidentally. You can choose between
clockwise and anticlockwise rotation. To avoid
causing damage to the gearing it is advisable to
change the direction of rotation only when the tool is
at a standstill. The On/Off switch is blocked when the
slide switch is in centre position.
6.5 On/Off switch (Fig. 5 / Item 4)
Infinitely variable speed control is possible with the
On/Off switch. The further you press the switch, the
higher the speed of the battery-powered
drill/screwdriver.
