This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.

6. Initial Operation/Setting
Remove the battery pack from the machine
before any adjustment or maintenance is
carried out. Before fitting the battery pack, make
sure that the machine is switched off.
6.1 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack before use (8).
If performance diminishes, recharge the battery
pack.
10
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and
30°C.
"Li-Power" li-ion battery packs have a capacity and
signal indicator: (11)
- Press the button (10), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost
flat and must be recharged.
Removal:
Press the battery pack release (9) button and pull
the battery pack (8) forwards.
Inserting:
Slide in the battery pack (8) until it engages.
6.2 Setting the direction of rotation, engag-
ing the transporting safety device
(switch-on lock)
Do not actuate the rotation selector switch or
engage the transportation lock (4) unless the
motor has stopped completely!
Actuate the rotation selector switch / Engage the
transportation lock (4)
R = Right rotation set
(insert screws)
L = Left rotation set
(remove screws)
0 = Central position: transportation lock setting
(switch-on lock)
6.3 Switching on and off
Switching on: press the trigger switch (5).
Switching off: release the trigger switch (5).
6.4 Speed / Tightening torque
The speed and tightening torque are connected
directly. The lower the speed, the lower the tight-
ening torque.
The tightening torque is influenced in two ways:
1) Preselect maximum tightening torque.
You can select one of three tightening torque
settings by pressing the button (7). The maximum
tightening torques are provided in the table on page
3 (M , M , M
MAX MED MIN
Button (7) lights up to indicate which setting is
selected.
= Does not light up = max. torque
MAX
= Flashing = medium torque
MED
= Continuously lit = min. torque
MIN
2) Stepless adjustment of the tightening torque:
The speed and tightening torque can be adjusted
steplessly by pressing the trigger (5) firmly or lightly,
thus adapting to working conditions.
Recommendation: determine the correct setting
by carrying out trial screwdriving.
6.5 Changing screwdriving bit for SSD...
Inserting screwdriving bit: Slide locking sleeve
(3) forward and insert screwdriving bit as far as the
stop. Release locking sleeve (3).
