Right rotation: To drive in screws and tighten nuts, press
the rotational direction switch (8) through to the left stop.
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,
press the rotational direction switch (8) through to the right
stop.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(9).
The lamp (10) lights up when the on/off switch (9) is lightly
or fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in
poor lighting conditions.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (9).
Adjusting the Speed
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by
pressing in the on/off switch (9) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (9) results in a low rota-
tional speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in-
crease in speed.
Practical advice
Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the
u
tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
The torque depends on the impact duration. The maximum
achieved torque results from the sum of all individual
torques achieved through impact. Maximum torque is
achieved after an impact duration of 6–10 seconds. After
this duration, the tightening torque increases only minimally.
The impact duration is to be determined for each required

Tips
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard materials, it
is advisable to pre-drill a pilot hole with the core diameter of
the thread to approx. 2/3 of the screw length.
Note: Ensure that no metal particles enter the power tool.
After working at a low speed for an extended period, you
should operate the power tool at the maximum speed for ap-
proximately three minutes without load to cool it down.

tightening torque. The tightening torque actually achieved
should always be checked with a torque wrench.
Screw applications with hard, spring-loaded or soft seats
When the achieved torques in an impact series are measured
during a test and transferred into a diagram, the result is the
curve of a torque characteristic. The height of the curve cor-
responds with the maximum reachable torque, and the
steepness indicates the duration in which this is achieved.
A torque gradient depends on the following factors:
– Strength properties of the screws/nuts
– Type of backing (washer, disc spring, seal)
– Strength properties of the material being screwed/bolted
together
– Lubrication conditions at the screw/bolt connection
The following application cases result accordingly:
– A hard seat is a metal-to-metal screw application which
uses washers. After a relatively short impact duration, the
maximum torque is reached (steep characteristic curve).
Unnecessary long impact duration only causes damage to
the machine.
– A spring-loaded seat is also a metal-to-metal screw ap-
plication but uses spring washers, disc springs, studs or
screws/nuts with conical seats. It is also called a spring-
loaded seat when extensions are used.
– A soft seat is a screw application of e.g. metal on wood or
a screw application that uses lead washers or fibre wash-
ers as backing.
For a spring-loaded seat as well as for a soft seat, the max-
imum tightening torque is lower than for a hard seat. Also, a
clearly longer impact duration is required.

Recommendations for optimal handling of the battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of -20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
