Operating instructions Cordless Drill Driver

DANGER!
When using the equipment, a number of safety precautions must be observed to avoid injuries and damage. Please read the complete operating instructions and safety information with due care. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place so that the information is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any other person, hand over these operating instructions and the safety information as well. We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to failure to follow these instructions and the safety information.

Safety information

DANGER!
Read all the safety information and instructions. Failure to adhere to the safety information and instructions set out below may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury. Keep all the safety information and instructions in a safe place for future use. General safety information for power tools The term “power tool“ used in the safety regulations refers to power tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated power tools (without a power cable).

Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂ ammable 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. Unmodiﬁ ed 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 the 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. The 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 ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI 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 dust masks, 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 the power source and/or BATTERY pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your ﬁ nger on the switch or energizing 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, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelery 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 these devices 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 aﬀ ect 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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations diﬀerent from 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 specifi ed by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifi cally designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fi re.
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, fl ush with water. If liquid contacts the 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 modifi ed. Damaged or modifi ed batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fi re, EXPLOSION or risk of injury.
Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 266°F (130°C) may cause an explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the BATTERY pack or tool outside the temperature range specifi ed in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specifi ed range may damage the BATTERY and increase the risk of fire.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCREWDRIVERS AND DRILLS

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessories and fasteners contacting a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give the operator an electric shock.

Safety Instruction when using long drill bits

Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that feature maximum power density, durability, and safety. The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded. These data are then used exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible battery packs. Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be exercised when handling batteries. The following points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling can cause cell damage.

Caution! Analyses conﬁ rm that incorrect use and poor care are the main causes of the damage caused by high-performance batteries.

Information about the battery

The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool is not charged. The battery pack has to be charged before you use the tool for the ﬁ rst time.
For optimum battery performance avoid low discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack frequently.
Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 59°F (15°C), and charge to at least 40%.
Lithium ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
Do not throw battery packs into an open ﬁ re. There is a risk of explosion!
Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to ﬁ re.
Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of deep discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partly discharged batteries. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.
Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing without this overheating being apparent externally.
Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batteries that have been dropped from a height of more than one meter or that have been exposed to violent shocks without delay, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In this respect, please also read the waste disposal information.
If the battery pack suﬀ ers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cut-oﬀ will switch oﬀ the equipment for safety reasons. Caution! Do not press the ON/OFF switch anymore if the protective cut-oﬀ has acted. This may damage the battery.
Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries may result in injuries, explosions, and a ﬁ re risk.
Protect your rechargeable battery against moisture, rain, and high humidity. Moisture, – 9 – rain, and high humidity can cause dangerous cell damage. Never charge or work with batteries that have been exposed to moisture, rain or high humidity – replace them immediately.
If your equipment is fitted with a detachable battery, remove the battery for safety reasons after you have finished your work.

Information on chargers and the charging process

Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage.
Protect the battery charger and its cable from damage and sharp edges. Have damaged cables repaired without delay by a qualified electrician.
Keep the battery charger, batteries, and cordless tool out of children‘s reach.
Do not use damaged battery chargers.
Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.
In heavy use, the battery pack will become warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before commencing with the charging.
Do not over-charge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times apply only to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partly charged battery pack will result in over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for more than 48 hours.
Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that the last time they were charged was more than 12 months previously. There is a high probability that the battery pack has already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
Charging batteries at a temperature below 50°F (10°C) will cause chemical damage to the cell and may cause a fire.
Do not use batteries that have heated during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.
Do not use batteries that have suffered curvature or deformation during the charging process or that show other non-typical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)
Never fully discharge the battery pack (recommended depth of discharge max. 80%) A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging of the battery cells.
Never charge the batteries unsupervised.

Protection from environmental influences

Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near vapors and inflammable liquids.
Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry conditions and an ambient temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).
Do not keep the battery charger in places where the temperature is liable to reach over 104°F (40°C). In particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.
Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads, over-charging, and exposure to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work with batteries that have been overheated – replace them immediately if possible.
Storage of batteries, battery chargers, and cordless tools. Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry places with an ambient temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C). Store the Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery in a cool and dry place at 50°F to 68°F (10°C to 20°C). Protect them from humidity and direct sunlight! Place only fully charged batteries in storage (charged at least 40%).
Prevent the Lithium-Ion battery pack from freezing. Battery packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes must be disposed of.
When handling batteries beware of electrostatic charges: Electrostatic discharges cause damage of the electronic protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch the battery poles.

Operation

Torque setting (Fig. 2/Item 1)

Caution! Only ever adjust the torque setting ring when the equipment is at a standstill. The cordless drill driver is ﬁ tted with a mechanical torque selector. The torque for a particular screw size is set with the torque setting ring (1). The torque is dependent on a number of factors:

On the type and hardness of the material involved
On the type and length of the screws used
On the requirements that the screw connection has to satisfy

The grating disengagement of the coupling indicates that the selected torque level has been reached.

Drilling (Fig. 2/Item 1)
For drilling purposes, adjust the setting ring for the torque to the last setting “Drill”. In the drill setting the slip coupling is non-functional. The maximum torque is available for drilling.

Changeover switch (Fig. 3/Item 3)
The slide switch above the On/Oﬀ switch is for setting the direction of rotation of the cordless drill driver and for preventing the cordless drill driver from being switched on inadvertently. You can select between clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation. To avoid causing damage to the gearing, the direction of rotation must only be changed when the equipment is at a standstill. When the slide switch is in the middle position, the On/Oﬀ switch is locked.

On/Oﬀ switch (Fig. 3/Item 4)
Inﬁ nitely variable speed control is possible with the On/Oﬀ switch. The further you pull the switch, the higher the speed of the cordless drill driver.

Switching from speed 1 to speed 2 (Fig. 2/Item 7)
You can work with a higher or lower speed depending on the position of the selector switch. Change the gear only when the drill is at a standstill. If you fail to observe this point, the gearing may be damaged.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 4 / item 2)
Press the battery capacity indicator switch (6). The battery capacity indicator (2) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.

All 3 LEDs lit:
The battery is fully charged.

1 LED ﬂ ashing:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

All LEDs ﬂashing:
The temperature of the battery is too low. Remove the battery from the device and leave it at room temperature for a day. If the error occurs again, this means that the battery has been completely depth-discharged and is defective. Remove the battery from the device. Never use or charge a defective battery.

LED lamp (Fig. 4/Item 10)
The LED light (10) can be used in poor lighting conditions to illuminate the area where you want to drill or screw. The LED light (10) will come on automatically as soon as you press the On/Oﬀ switch (4).

Changing the bit (Fig. 5)
Caution! Set the changeover switch (3) to its center position whenever you carry out any work (for example changing the tool, maintenance work, etc.) on the cordless drill driver.

Screws
It is advisable to use self-centering screws (e.g. cross recessed head) as these will enable you to work safely and reliably. Always make sure that the bit used is of the same size and shape as the screw. Set the torque to suit the screw size as speciﬁ ed in the instructions.

Cleaning and maintenance

HAZARD!
Always take the battery out of the equipment before starting any cleaning work.
