Technical data

Sound and vibration

Sound and vibration values were measured in accordance with EN 60745.

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 60745.

Drilling in concrete
Vibration emission value a_h ≤ 2,5 m/s²
K uncertainty = 1,5 m/s²

Screwing without hammer action
Vibration emission value a_h ≤ 2,5 m/s²
K uncertainty = 1,5 m/s²

Additional information for electric power tools

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 maskis used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection isused.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations ifthe equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Before starting the equipment

Be sure to read the following information before you use your cordless screwdriver for the first time:

1. Charge the battery pack only with the charger supplied.
2. Only ever use sharp drill bits and screwdriver bitswhich are suitable for the purpose and in faultless condition.
3. Always check for concealed electric cables andgas and water pipes when drilling and screwing in walls.

Operation

Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 2-3)
The battery is protected from exhaustive discharge. An integrated protective circuit automatically switches off the equipment when the battery is flat. In this case the bit chuck will cease to turn.

Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective circuit has actuated. This may damage the battery.

1. Remove the battery pack (5) from the handle, pressing the pushlock buttons (7) on the left and right sides to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (6) into the mains socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to flash.
3. Insert the battery pack (5) into the battery charger (6).
4. In section 11 „ Charger indicator" you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check the following:

• whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet
• and check for proper contact with the charging contacts in the battery charger.

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

• the battery charger
• and the battery pack

to our customer services department.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the power of the cordless equipment drops. Never fully discharge the battery pack. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Torque setting (Fig. 4 / Item 1)
The cordless screwdriver is fitted with a mechanical torque selector.
The torque for a specific size of screw is selected with the set-collar (1). The correct torque depends on several factors:

• on the type and hardness of material in question
• on the type and length screws used
• on the requirements needing to be met by the screwed joint.

The clutch disengages with a grating sound to indicate when the set torque is reached. Important! The tool must be at a standstill when you set the torque with the setting ring.

Drilling (Fig. 4 / Item 1)
For drilling purposes, move the set-collar to the last step „Drill". In this setting the slip clutch is inactive. The maximum torque is available in drilling mode.

Forward/Reverse switch (Fig. 5 / Item 3)
With the slide switch above the On/Off switch you can select the direction of rotation of the batterypowered drill/screwdriver and secure it against being switched on accidentally. You can choose between clockwise and anticlockwise rotation. To avoid causing damage to the gearing it is advisable to change the direction of rotation only when the tool is at a standstill. The On/Off switch is blocked when the slide switch is in centre position.

On/Off switch (Fig. 5 / Item 4)
Infinitely variable speed control is possible with the On/Off switch. The further you press the switch, the higher the speed of the battery-powered drill/screwdriver.

Changing the tool (Fig. 6)

Set the changeover switch (3) to its centre position whenever you carry out any work (for example changing the tool, maintenance work, etc.) on the cordless screwdriver.

• Open the chuck (2). The chuck opening (a) must be large enough to hold the tool (drill bit or screwdriver bit).
• Select the suitable tool. Push the tool as far as possible into the chuck opening (a).
• Tighten the chuck (2) and then check that the tool is secure.

Screwdriving
We recommend using self-centering screws (e.g. Torx screws, recessed head screws) designed for reliable working. Be sure to use a bit that matches the screw in shape and size. Set the torque, as described elsewhere in these operating instructions, to suit the size of screw.

LED lamp (Fig. 1/Item 8)
The LED lamp (8) can be used to additionally illuminate the area where you want to drill or screw. The LED lamp (8) will be lit automatically as soon as you press the ON/OFF switch (4).

Cleaning, maintenance and orderingof spare parts

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