Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
• Power tools create sparks that 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the 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 residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD 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 hats, 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 a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising 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, jewellery 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. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 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 the battery pack 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. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool 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 tool bits etc. by these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
• Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When the 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, flush with water. If liquid contacts the eyes,  additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
• This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional power tool safety warnings

• Warning! Additional safety warnings for screwdrivers and impact wrenches Hold the power tool by insulating gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its cord.
• Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
• Wear ear protectors with impact wrenches. Noise exposure can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Before driving fasteners into walls, floors or ceilings, check for the location of wiring and pipes.
• This tool is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
• The use of any accessory attachment or performance of any operation with this tool other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury and/or property damage.

Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical data and the declaration of conformity have been measured by a standard test method provided by EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during the actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on how the tool is used. The vibration level may increase above the level stated.

When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.

Labels on tool
The following pictograms are shown on the tool:

Assembly

Fitting and removing a screwdriver bit (fig. B) This tool uses screwdriver bits with a 1/4″ (6.35 mm) hexagonal shank. To fit a bit, insert the bit shaft into the bit holder (4). To remove a bit, pull the bit shaft out of the bit holder (4).

Use
Before first use, the battery must be charged for 14 hours. The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily done before. When charging the battery for the first time, or after a prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80% charge. After several charges and discharge cycles, the battery will attain full capacity. Place the tool on the charging base whenever it is not in use.

Charging the battery (fig. A)

Place the tool on the charging base (9). Insert the connector (7) into the charging base. Plug in the charger (6). Leave the tool connected to the charger for 8 – 10 hours. The red light illuminates when the unit is on charge and will stay red as long as there is power to the charger. The red light will not go off to indicate a full charge.

(Original instructions)
The charger may hum and become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem. Generally, a charging time of 8 hours will enable the tool to operate at an effective power level for most tasks. However, further charging for up to 10 hours could significantly increase the run time, depending on the battery and charging conditions.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures below 4 °C or above 40 °C.

Selecting the direction of rotation

• For tightening screws, use forward (clockwise) rotation. For
• loosening screws use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.

The LED will also illuminate when the trigger is depressed and the forward reverse slider (2) is in the locked-off position (central position).

Hints for optimum use
Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload. Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.

• If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
• Use the auto spindle lock to loosen very tight screws or to firmly tighten screws.
• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line with the screw.
• When screwing in wood, it is recommended to drill a pilot hole with a depth equal to the length of the screw. A pilot hole guides the screw and prevents splintering or distortion of the wood. For the optimum size of the pilot hole, refer to the table below.
• When screwing in hardwood, also drill a clearance hole with a depth equal to half the length of the screw. For the optimum size of the clearance hole, refer to the table below.
