Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Warning! Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings,
check for the location of wiring and pipes.
Charging the battery (fig. A)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever
it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. When charging the battery for the first time,
or after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80% charge.
After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will
attain full capacity. The battery may become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Using the 3 hr charger
To charge the battery (8), remove it from the tool and slide
x
the charger receptacle (10) onto the battery.

Plug in the charger (9).

The battery will become warm while charging. After approx.
3 hours of charging, the battery will be sufficiently charged for
use in regular applications. After approx. 6 hours of charging,
the battery will be fully charged.
Remove the charger receptacle from the battery.
x
Using the 1hr charger
To charge the battery (8), remove it from the tool and
x
insert it into the charger (9). The battery will only fit into
the charger in one way. Do not force. Be sure that the
battery is fully seated in the charger.
Plug in the charger.
x
Check if the red charging indicator (11) lights up. If the
x
green end of charge indicator (12) lights up now instead,
the battery is too hot and cannot be charged. If this
happens, remove the battery from the charger, let the
battery cool down for approx. 1 hour and re-insert it.
After approx. 1 hour of charging, the red charging indicator (11)
will stop lighting and the green end of charge indicator (12)
will light up. The battery is now fully charged.
Remove the battery from the charger.

Selecting the direction of rotation (fig. F)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward (clockwise)
rotation. For loosening screws or removing a jammed drill bit,
use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse
x
slider (2) to the left.
To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
x
to the right.
To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider into the
x
centre position.
Selecting the operating mode or torque (fig. G)
This tool is fitted with a collar to select the operating mode
and to set the torque for tightening screws. Large screws and
hard workpiece materials require a higher torque setting than
small screws and soft workpiece materials. The collar has a
wide range of settings to suit your application.
