The stated vibration emission levels and stated noise emission values were measured in accordance with a set of standardized criteria and can be used to compare one power tool with another.

The stated vibration emission levels and stated noise emission values can also be used to make an initial assessment of exposure.

Warning:

The vibration and noise emission levels may vary from the level specifi ed during actual use, depending on the way in which the power tool is used, especially the type of workpiece it is used for.

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

• Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.

Caution!

Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules 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 put the cordless screwdriver into operation:

1. Only ever use screwdriver bits which are suitable for the purpose and in faultless condition.
2. Before you begin to screw in walls and masonry, check for concealed electric wiring, gas pipes and water pipes.

Operation

6.1 Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 2-3)

1. Remove the battery pack (5) from the handle, pressing the pushlock button (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. Insert the power plug of the charger (6) into the mains socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.
3. Push the battery pack onto the battery charger.

In section 10 (Charger indicator) you will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the following:

• voltage at the power socket

• whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the charging unit.
  If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

• the charger and charging adapter

• and the battery pack to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.

When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

6.2 Changeover switch (Fig. 4/Item 3)

The slide switch above the On/Off switch is for setting the direction of rotation of the cordless screwdriver and for preventing the cordless screwdriver from being switched on inadvertently.
You can select between clockwise and counterclockwise 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 blocked.

6.3 On/Off switch (Fig. 4 / Item 4)

Infinitely variable speed control is possible with the On/Off switch. The further you push the switch, the higher the speed of the cordless screwdriver.

To switch on:

Press the On/Off switch (4).

To switch off :

Release the ON/OFF switch (4)

6.4 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 5 – 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 or 1 LED(s) are lit:

The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

1 LED blinks:

The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

All LEDs blink:

The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

6.5 LED lamp (Fig. 6/Item 7)

The LED lamp (7) can be used in poor lighting conditions to illuminate the area where you want to screw. The LED light (7) will come on automatically as soon as you press the On/Off switch (4).

6.6 Changing the bit (Fig. 7)

Important! 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 screwdriver.

Inserting the bit:

• Insert the bit into the bit mount (1) as far as the stop while simultaneously pulling the sleeve on the bit mount (1) toward the bit.
• Release the sleeve again.
• Check that the bit is securely seated.

Removing the bit:

• Pull the sleeve on the bit mount (1) toward the bit, hold it tight and remove the bit.

6.7 Screwdriving

We recommend using self-centering screws (e.g. 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.

6.8 Removable holding clip (Fig. 1 / Item 9)

When the holding clip (9) is fitted, the equipment can be hung e.g. on a belt. The removable holding clip can be screw-fi tted to either the left or righthand side of the equipment. Fitting is possible but not necessary.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

Always remove the battery pack before making adjustments to the equipment.

7.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

7.2 Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

7.3 Ordering replacement parts:

Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:
