Rechargeable battery

Charging the battery

• For charging, use the recommended USB power supply unit or a power supply unit with 5 V and at least 1.0 A. Observe the operating manual of the USB power supply unit.
  Recommended power supply unit: See "Technical Data" section.
• Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the type plate of the power supply.

Note: Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are supplied partially charged according to international transport regulations. To ensure full rechargeable battery capacity, fully charge the rechargeable battery before using your tool for the first time.

• Use a USB cable to connect the power tool to the power supply.
• Plug the power supply into a plug socket.

The charging process will begin. The battery charge indicator lights up green. When the battery is fully charged, the battery charge indicator goes out.
If you are not planning to use the power tool again soon, disconnect it from the power supply.
The power tool must not be used during the charging process. During the charging process, the handle of the power tool will become warm. This is normal.
If you are not planning to use the power tool again soon, disconnect the charger from the mains.
The power tool cannot be used during the charging process. It is not defective if it does not work during the charging process.

• Protect the charger against moisture.

Battery charge indicator
Battery charge indicator during operation
If the battery charge indicator (4) lights up red when you press the on/off switch (5) half way in, the remaining battery capacity is less than 30% and the battery should be charged.

Assembly

• Before any work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and storage, set the rotational direction switch to the middle position. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

Changing the tool (see figure A)
Insert the screwdriver bit (1) directly into the tool holder (2).

Off-set Angle Adapter/Angle
Screw Adapter/Torque
Setting Adapter (see figures B–E)
You can drive in screws close to edges using the off-set angle adapter (13). The angle screw adapter (14) allows you to drive in screws in hard-to-reach areas.
The torque presetting ring (16) on the torque setting adapter (15) can be used to pre-select the required torque in 10 stages. When the correct setting is used, the application tool will be stopped when the screw is driven flush into the material or once the set torque has been reached.

Assembly (see figures B–C)
To fit the adapters, pull off the worklight cover (7) towards you. Then the adapters can be attached. It is possible to fit an adapter offset by 45°.

Removal (see figures D–E)
To remove an adapter, turn the unlocking ring (23) in rotational direction and pull the adapter off towards you. Then reattach the worklight cover (7).

Operation

Starting Operation
Setting the Rotational Direction
The rotational direction switch (6) is used to change the rotational direction of the power tool. However, this is not possible while the on/off switch (5) is being pressed.
Clockwise: To drive in screws, press the rotational direction switch (6) all the way to the left.
Anti-clockwise: To loosen or unscrew screws, press the rotational direction switch (6) all the way to the right.

Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch (5).
The worklight (3) lights up when the on/off switch (5) is lightly or fully pressed, allowing the work area to be illuminated in poor lighting conditions.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (5).

Fully automatic spindle lock (Auto-Lock)
The drill spindle, and therefore the tool holder, are locked when the on/off switch (5) is not pressed.
This allows screws to be driven in even when the battery is discharged and enables the power tool to be used as a screwdriver.

• If the drill spindle is blocked, do not press the on/off switch (5) for longer than 15 seconds. Otherwise, the power tool may become damaged.

Practical advice

• Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.

Safety Instructions

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Safety Warnings for Screwdrivers

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hidden supply lines or contact the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to explosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
• Hold the power tool securely. When tightening and loosening screws be prepared for temporarily high torque reactions.
• Before any work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and storage, set the rotational direction switch to the middle position. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
• Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The application tool can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.

Protect the power tool against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.
