Additional information for electric power tools

Warning!
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 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 that 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 ruled out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Limit the operating time.
All stages of the operating cycle must be considered (for example, times in which the electric tools are switched off and times in which the tool is switched on but operates without load).

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 with the charger supplied. An empty battery pack requires a charging period of approximately 3-5 hours.
2. Only ever use sharp drill bits and screwdriver bits that are suitable for the purpose and in faultless condition.
3. Always check for concealed electric cables and gas and water pipes when drilling and screwing in walls.

Operation

Charging the LI battery pack

1. Remove the battery pack (5) from the handle, pressing the push lock buttons (8) downwards to do so.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Plug the mains plug of the charger (6) into the mains socket outlet. The red and green LEDs will come on together for approximately 1 second.
3. Push the battery into the battery charger. The flashing green LED will come on to indicate that the battery is being charged. When the charging process is finished, the green LED will be permanently lit. The time it takes to fully recharge an empty battery is approximately 3 to 5 hours.  The temperature of the battery may rise slightly during the charging operation. This is normal. If the red LED flashes after the battery has been inserted, the battery is defective. In this case, pull out the main plug of the charger immediately and remove the defective battery. Do not use the defective battery again. If the red LED on the charger lights up while the battery pack is inserted, the charging temperature is either too high or too low. In this case, pull out the main plug of the charger and charge the battery in an environment in which the temperature is either warmer or colder.

If the battery pack fails to become charged, please check

• whether there is the voltage at the socket-outlet
• whether there is proper contact at the charging contacts on the charger.

If the battery still fails to become charged, please return

• the charger
• the battery pack

to our Customer Service Department. To ensure that the LI 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 screwdriver drops.

Torque setting (Fig. 4 / Item 1)
Important! The tool must be at a standstill when you set the torque with the setting ring. 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.

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 battery-powered 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 center 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 over from 1st gear to 2nd gear (Fig. 6 / Item 7)
You can work at a higher or lower speed depending on the position of the selector switch. To avoid damaging the gear unit you should only change over gears when the tool has stopped.
Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 7 – Item 2)
Press the battery capacity indicator switch (a). The battery capacity indicator (2) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.
All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.
2 LEDs are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

1 LED is lit:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
LED lamp (Fig. 7 / Item 10 )
The LED lamp (10) can be used in poor lighting conditions to illuminate the area where you want to drill or screw. The LED lamp (10) will be lit\ automatically as soon as you press the ON/OFF switch (4).
Changing the tool (Fig. 8)
Important. 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.

• The cordless screwdriver is fitted with a quick action chuck (9) with an automatic spindle stop.
• Open the chuck (9). The chucking 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 (9) 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 display for clockwise/counterclockwise operation (Figure 6/Item 11)
The LED display for counter-clockwise/clockwise (11) indicates the position of the changeover switch (3). Green LED (11a) is lit: clockwise Red LED (11b) is lit: counter-clockwise

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts
