WORKPLACE SECURITY

• Keep the area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas can cause accidents.
• Do not use power tools in explosive environments, e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and people away during the use of the tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the tool.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• It is necessary that the power tool plugs are adapted to the base. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapters with earthed tools. Unmodified plugs and adapted bases reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid contact with grounded objects such as pipes, radiators, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is in contact with grounded surfaces.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. The penetration of water into a tool increases the risk of electric shock.
• Do not misuse the cable. Do not use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Be aware of what you are doing and use common sense while using the tool. Do not use a tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of distraction while using a tool can cause serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, helmets or ear protection used in appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Carrying tools with your finger on the trigger or inserting the battery into the tool with the trigger pulled can cause accidents and injury.
• Do not rush. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. This allows better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can get caught in moving parts.

USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE TOOL

• Do not force the tool. Use the right tool for the application being performed. A suitable tool will do the job better and more safely if used for the purpose for which it has been built.
• Do not use the tool if the switch does not allow you to turn it on or off. Any tool that can not be controlled by the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the power supply, battery block and battery charger from the tool before changing accessories or before storing the tool. These preventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidental starting of the tool.
• Keep the tool away from children and do not allow the tool to be used by people who are not familiar with the operation of the tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands of inexperienced operators.
• Make sure the tools moving parts are not aligned or blocked, that it has not broken any parts or any other condition that may affect the operation of the tool. In case of damage, take the tool to a repair service before using it again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use the tool, accessories and bits, etc. according to these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be done. The use of the tool for operations other than those provided can lead to dangerous situations.

The tool is designed for screwing and unscrewing fasteners. This tool should not be used for purposes other than those described above.

BEFORE USE

Before turning on the cordless screwdriver, read the following notes:

1. Charge the battery with the provided charger (14). A fully discharged battery recharges in about 3-5 hours.
2. Use only appropriate bits and tip screwdrivers.
3. When screwing into walls, check for hidden power, gas or water lines.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

1. Check if the power voltage on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage available.
2. Plug charger’s power lead into charging port of battery (11), in the handle (10). A red LED will light on the battery status display (7) indicates that the battery is charging.
3. As the battery is charge the battery status display will illuminate the red, then the yellow and lastly the green LED once the battery is fully charged.
4. During charging, it is normal for the battery to warm slightly. If the Red LED does not illuminate indicating that the battery is charging verify:

• That the socket has voltage.
• That the charger contacts are reliable.
• Verify there is no damage to the charging cord.

LED DISPLAY

• Three color LEDs (7) indicate the battery status whenever the trigger (9) is pressed.
• All LEDs are lighted: the battery is fully charged.
• Yellow and red LEDs lighted: the battery has charge.
• Red LED lighted: the battery is almost empty and needs to be recharged

TORQUE SETTINGS

This tool has a mechanical clutch (3) with 15 + 1 different torque settings. Setting 1 is the lowest torque setting and 15 the highest. A clicking will be heard and felt when the torque setting has been reached. Use the right setting for the application. This will help prevent overtightening and stripping of fasteners. The last torque setting ( ) bypasses the mechanical clutch and applies maximum torque. Use this setting when maximum torque is required.

ATTENTION! Do not adjust the mechanical clutch until the tool comes to a complete stop.

PROPER SETTING FOR DRIVING SCREWS

1. Set the torque adjustment ring on the lowest setting to begin.
2. Try tightening the first screw. If the drill drives smoothly, proceed with the next screw.
3. If the drill’s clutch slips, increase the torque setting and try again until the drill drives the screw without incident.

OPERATION

SWITCHING THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION

The directional switch and trigger lock (8) allows you to choose the rotational direction of the tool or set the trigger lock. You can select clockwise (forward) rotation by pushing the switch all the way to the right OR counter clockwise (reverse) by pushing the switch all the way to the left. When the directional switch and trigger lock is in the center position (trigger lock), the trigger is locked and the tool is inoperable but you can still activate the battery status display (7) and the work area LED (4) by slightly depressing the trigger (9).
