L_WA sound power level: 93 dB(A)
K_WA uncertainty: 3 dB

Wear ear-muffs.
The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing.

Total vibration values (vector sum of three directions) determined in accordance with EN 62841.

Screwing without hammer action
Vibration emission value ah ≤ 2,5 m/s²
K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s²

The specified vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equipment is used and may exceed the specified value in exceptional circumstances.

The specified vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools.

The specified vibration value can be used for initial assessment of a harmful effect.

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

• Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
• Service and clean the appliance regularly.
• Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
• Do not overload the appliance.
• Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
• Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
• Wear protective gloves.

Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment's construction and layout:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

• Only ever use screw gun bits which are suitable for the purpose and in faultless condition.
• Before you begin to screw in walls and masonry, check for concealed electric wiring, gas pipes and water pipes.
• The screw gun is equipped with a claw coupling. The spindle does not start to rotate until the screw is pushed into the workpiece.

Setting the screwing depth

(Figure 2)

Using the depth setting ring (2) with latching settings you can pre-select the depth to which the screw is screwed into the workpiece.
PLUS direction: larger screwing depth
MINUS direction: smaller screwing depth

The best way to determine the required setting is with a test screw.
Press the tip of the screw firmly against the material in question until the screwing depth stop (1) comes up against the workpiece and the coupling disengages.

The scale (a) can serve as a rough guide if the depth setting ring (2) should move or if several screwing depths are needed in alternation.

Changing the tool insert

To change the tool insert, rotate the screwing depth stop (1) with the depth setting ring (2) as far as the maximum screwing depth and pull off the tool insert to the front (use pincers if necessary).

Screwdriving work

It is advisable to use self-centering screws (e.g. Torx, cross recessed head) as these will enable you to work safely and reliably. Always make sure that the tool insert used is of the same size and shape as

Operation

ON/OFF switch

(Item 4)

To switch on:
Press the ON/OFF switch (4)

Continuous operation:
Secure the ON/OFF switch (5) with the locking button (4).

To switch off:
Press the ON/OFF switch (4) briefly.

Adjusting the speed

(Item 4)

• You can infinitely vary the speed whilst using the tool.
• Select the speed by applying a greater or lesser pressure to the ON/OFF switch (4).
• Select the correct speed: The most suitable speed depends on the workpiece, the type of use and the drill bit used.
• Low pressure on the ON/OFF switch (4): Lower speed (suitable for: small screws and soft materials)
• Greater pressure on the ON/OFF switch (4): Higher speed (suitable for large/long screws and hard materials)

Preselecting the speed

(Item 3)

• The speed setting ring (3) enables you to define the maximum speed. The ON/OFF switch (4) can only be pressed to the defined maximum speed setting.
• Set the speed using the setting ring (3) on the ON/OFF switch (4).

Clockwise/Counter-clockwise switch

(tem 6)

• Change switch position only when the drill is at a standstill!
• Using the slide switch above the ON/OFF switch you can select the direction of rotation of the screwdriver.

Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.

The carbon brushes should not be rep laced by anyone but a qualified electrician.

Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
