SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

Read all warnings, safety instructions and other instructions. Failure to follow all the instructions and safety instructions can result in the risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. Save these instructions and safety instructions for future reference. The term power tool in the warnings below refers to your mains powered (corded) or battery-powered (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA

Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using power tools.
You can easily lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The plug on the power tool must match the power point. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the power tool, or to pull out the plug from the mains. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Only use an extension word approved for outdoor use. Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
If it is absolutely necessary to use power tools in damp conditions, use a power point protected by a residual current device RDC. Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal Injury.
Use personal safety equipment. Always wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of tool and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.
Avoid accidental starting. Check that the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the power cord and/or the battery, or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains supply when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
Remove Allen keys/spanners etc. before starting the power tool. Allen keys, or the like, left in a rotating part of a power tool can cause personal injury.
Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This will ensure you have better control over the tool in unexpected situations.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose fitting clothing jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away horn moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.

USING AND LOOKING AFTER POWER TOOLS

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
Pull out the plug and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories or putting the power tool away. These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidentally starting the power tool.
Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
Keep the power tool properly maintained. Check that moving parts are properly adjusted and do not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for other factors that could affect functionality. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again. 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 jam and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. It can be dangerous to use power tools for purposes other than those for which they are intended to be used.
Keep handles and grips clean, dry and free from oil and grease. brassy handles and grips make it difficult to hold the tool.

USING AND MAINTAINING BATTERY POWERED TOOLS

The battery must only be charged with the charger recommended by the manufacturer. A charger intended for one type of battery can result in a fire risk if used with another type of battery.
Only use power tools with the specified batteries. The use of other batteries can cause accidents or a fire.
When the battery is not in use keep it away from metal objects su¢h as paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that can short circuit the terminals. Short circuiting the battery terminals can cause burns or a fire.
Failure to handle the battery carefully can cause fluid to leak from the battery. Avoid contact with battery fluid. Rinse well with plenty of water if you come into contact with battery fluid. Seek medical attention if you get battery fluid in your eyes. Fluid leaking from the battery can cause irritation or burns.

SERVICE

The power tool must only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.
Never attempt to repair damaged batteries. Batteries must only be serviced by an authorised service centre or other qualified personnel. (For battery operation only).

SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCREW DRIVING AND PERCUSSION DRILLING

Hold the power tool by the insulated grips when working in areas where it may come into contact with concealed electrical cables or its own power cord. Contact with a live cable will cause the metal parts on the tool to also become live and give the user an electric shock.

REDUCTION OF NOISE AND VIBRATIONS

Plan the work so that exposure to heavy vibrations is spread over a longer period.
To reduce noise and vibrations when in use, limit the time the tool is in use, and use low-power/vibration mode and suitable safety equipment.
Take the following precautions to minimise the risks of exposure to vibrations and/or noise:
- Only use the tool in accordance with these instructions.
- Check that the tool is in good condition.
- Use accessories in good condition, and which are suitable for the purpose..
- Keep a firm grip on the handles/grips
- Maintain and lubricate the tool in accordance with these instructions.

The declared vibration value and noise, which have been measured by a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 62841-2-1:2018.

WARNING!

The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).

USE

BATTERY AND CHARGER

NOTE:
Only use the supplied charger to charge the battery. Fully charge the battery before using it for the first time.

Charging the battery

Align the guide slots on the battery to the slots on the charger and firmly push in the battery until it flicks in place. The battery is shaped so that it can only fit one way in the charger. This connects the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals correctly.
Connect the battery charger to the power point. The red LED on the charger goes on.
When the battery is put in the charger the green LED goes on and starts flashing. This indicates that the battery is charging. At the same time the red LED on the charger starts dashing briefly before remaining constantly red.
The battery is fully charged when the green LED stops dashing and remains constantly green. The red LED will then go off. It takes about one hour to charge a fully discharged battery. It will go quicker if the battery is only partially discharged.
The status of the battery can be checked during the charging by pressing the button on the short side of the battery. One, two, three or four LEDs will light up beside the button to indicate the charging level. Four LEDs mean that the battery is fully charged.
FIG. 2
When the red LED on the charger goes on the battery is discharged, with a red and yellow light it is partially charged, and with red, yellow and green it is fully charged.
Unplug the charger from the power point. Release the battery from the charger by pressing in the red lock button on the battery and pushing it along the guide slots until the battery comes loose from the charger. Set the rotation selector on the drill driver to the OFF position and connect the battery by pushing it into the drill driver‘s guide slots until it hooks on.The drill driver is now ready to use.

POWER SWITCH

The power switch has variable speed control, which means that the speed increases the more the power switch is pressed in, decreases when the power switch is released.

ROTATION SELECTOR

NOTE:
The drill driver must have stopped before using the rotation selector, otherwise it can be damaged.
Use the rotation selector to switch between right and left drive. When the rotation selector is in the middle position the power switch is locked and cannot be pressed in. Put the rotation switch in the middle position when the drill driver is not in use to prevent unintentional starting.

ADJUSTING THE TORQUE

NOTE:
Only use this control when the machine is switched off, otherwise the machine can be damaged.

Set the machine to its lowest torque by turning the control so that the arrow points to “1”. In this position the machine is set to the lowest possible drilling resistance. The higher the value the control is set to, the higher the torque. Set the machine to its highest torque by turning the control to the drill symbol. A low torque should be selected for screwing. A high torque can damage the screw head slot, or even break the screw. Select the position marked with a drill when drilling. Before working, test different torques on a sample Of the same material.
