d) Operation of the cordless screwdriver

  • Keep your workplace clean. Ensure good lighting at the workplace. Disorder at the workplace or bad lighting may cause accidents. Keep children away from the working area! Ensure good ventilation of the workplace.
  • Only operate the product when your ability to react is unrestricted. Fatigue or the influence of alcohol or medication can lead to accidents and injury.
  • Rotating parts may wind up hair or items of clothing, danger of injury! Therefore, wear, e.g., a hair net if you have long hair, and wear close-fitting clothes when working.
  • Never touch the rotating part of the cordless screwdriver; never touch turning tool inserts (e.g. screwdriver bits). Risk of injury! Never stop the drive manually; do not use any tools for this either!
  • Check the cordless screwdriver for damage before every use. If you find any damage, do not take the device into operation, but have it checked by a specialist.
  • For reasons of safety, the rotating direction switch must be put in the middle position before inserting or removing bits. The drive will be blocked in this position (activation lock).
  • Use the cordless screwdriver only to turn in and out screws or for similar work. The cordless screw driver must not be used for any other purposes (such as mixing mortar, driving other devices/machines/tools, etc.).
  • Never overload any electrical devices. Use electrical devices only for the work that they are intended for.
  • Secure the workpiece against slipping or twisting. Use, e.g., a vice.
  • Ensure a safe stance when working; use, e.g., a suitable, strong ladder.
  • Ensure that no power, gas or water lines are damaged when turning in screws! With power lines, there is a danger to life from electrical shock; with gas lines, there is a danger of fire and explosion! Water lines may also lead to high property damage.
  • Never work on live parts. When working near any electrical lines or similar, always ensure suitable contact protection.
  • Never stress the cordless screwdriver to where the drive stops. This may damage the motor and the gear both. Blocking of the drive will also lead to very high currents so that the rechargeable battery and the power electronics in the cordless screwdriver will be overloaded.
  • Ensure that no dust or dirt enters the cordless screwdriver (specifically at the USB charging socket).
  • There are different risks of injury depending on the work performed with the cordless screwdriver. Depending on work, goggles, a dust mask, and hearing protection must be worn; a safety helmet may also be required (e.g. at work overhead).
  • Dust from various materials may be hazardous to health and may cause allergic reactions, diseases of the respiratory system, or even cancer (e.g. asbestos-containing material – this must only be processed/used by specialists).
  • Observe the provisions valid in your country, e.g. on work protection measures.
  • Properly hold the cordless screwdriver. A sudden stop of the drive will transfer the torque to the cordless screwdriver itself, and it will turn sideways. This poses the danger of the cordless screwdriver falling from your hands, and danger of injury!
  • Switch off the cordless screwdriver at once when the drive blocks (e.g. when a screw has been completely turned in).
  • Before putting down the cordless screwdriver, wait until the drive has stopped entirely.
  • The cordless screwdriver has a bright LED light that is activated automatically when the on/off switch is activated.
    Attention, LED light: Never look into the LED beam! Never watch directly or with optical instruments! The danger of eye damage!

Charging the Rechargeable Battery

Observe Chapter “Safety Notes”!
The rechargeable battery must be charged when the drive only turns very slowly without load or when the drive stops.
Also, charge the rechargeable battery every 3 months if you do not need the cordless screwdriver. Otherwise, there may be deep discharge, which will permanently damage the
rechargeable battery. Loss of guarantee/warranty!
The rechargeable battery is discharged when the product is delivered and must be charged at initial commissioning.
Proceed as follows for recharging the rechargeable battery:

  • Connect the large USB A plug of the enclosed USB cable to the corresponding socket of the charger; ensure proper alignment.
  • Plug the small micro-USB plug on the other end of the USB cable into the charging socket (7) at the bottom of the cordless screwdriver. Observe proper alignment here as well.
  • Plug the charger into a mains socket. The charge LED (8) will light up and charging will start.

The charging time is approx. 3 – 5 hours.
The drive motor is off while charging. The cordless screwdriver cannot be used.

  • When charging is complete, the charge LED will flash slowly. Now disconnect the cordless screwdriver from the USB cable, and pull the charger from the mains socket.

Alternatively, the cordless screwdriver can also be charged from a USB charging port that can provide an output voltage of 5 V/DC and a current of at least 500 mA (e.g. integrated into some socket strips or similar).
Do not connect the cordless screwdriver to a usual USB port of a computer, however.

Ope ration

a) Inserting/removing bit

  • Release the on/off switch (6) to stop the drive.
  • When the bit holder no longer turns, put the desired bit into the bit holder (3) or pull it out to remove it.

Ensure that the bit is pushed as far as possible into the bit holder (3) of the cordless screwdriver so that the torque can be optimally transferred to the bit.

b) Rotating Direction Switch (with Activation Lock)

  • The rotating direction switch (5) can be used to switch the rotating direction between left and right. An arrow on either side of the rotating direction switch (5) reflects the rotating direction:
    – Rotating direction to the left (viewed from the rear of the cordless screwdriver), to release/ turn out screws; LED (1) is lit
    – Rotating direction to the right (viewed from the rear of the cordless screwdriver), to tighten/ turn in screws; LED (2) is lit

Choose the rotating direction depending on whether you want to turn a screw in or out.
Two LEDs (1, 2) on the top of the cordless screwdriver indicate the corresponding rotating direction when the on/off switch is pushed and the motor is running.

  • The drive is off in the middle position of the rotating direction switch (5) (activation lock). The drive should be blocked with the rotating direction switch for tool change, maintenance, or cleaning, as well as during transport. This prevents starting up of the motor if the on/off switch is pushed accidentally.

Switch the rotating direction only when the driver of the cordless screwdriver has stopped completely! Otherwise, the drive may be damaged.

c) LED for workplace lighting
There is a white LED (4) on the front below the bit holder. It is activated automatically when the on/off switch (6) is activated and serves lighting during the work process.
When the activation lock is active (the rotating direction switch (5) is in the middle position), the drive will not start up, but the white LED will nevertheless light up.
