6. Operation
6.1 Charging the battery (Fig. 2-3)
1. Take the battery pack (5) out of the handle
(Fig. 2), pressing the pushlock button (8) of
the battery pack as you 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.
3. Connect the charging cable (a) to the char-
ging adapter (7).
4. Both LEDs are lit. Push the charging adapter
(7) onto the battery pack (5). The green LED
extinguishes to indicate that the battery pack
is being charged. When the charging period
is completed after approx. 3 to 5 hours, both
LEDs will come on again. The battery pack
may become a little warm during the charging
process. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the
following:
•
Voltage at the power socket
•
Good contact at the charging contacts of the
charging unit
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
•
the charging unit
•
and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the power of the cordless equipment
drops.
6.2 Torque setting (Fig. 4 / Item 1)
The cordless screwdriver is fi tted with a mechani-
cal torque selector.
The torque for a particular screw size is set with
the setting ring (1). The torque is dependent on a
number of factors:
•
On the type and hardness of the material in-
volved
•
On the type and length of the screws used
•
On the requirements that the screw connec-
tion has to satisfy

GB
The grating disengagement of the coupling in-
dicates that the selected torque level has been
reached.
Caution! Only ever adjust the setting ring
when the equipment is at a standstill.
6.3 Drilling (Fig. 4/Item 1)
For drilling purposes, adjust the setting ring for
the torque to the last setting "Drill". In the drill
setting the slip coupling is non-functional. The
maximum torque is available for drilling.
6.4 Changeover switch (Fig. 5/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 counter-
clockwise rotation. To avoid causing damage to
the gearing, the direction of rotation must only be
changed when the screwdriver is at a standstill.
When the slide switch is in the middle position,
the On/Off switch is blocked.
6.5 On/Off switch (Fig. 5/Item 4)
Infi nitely variable speed control is possible with
the On/Off switch. The further you push the
switch, the higher the speed of the cordless
screwdriver.
6.6 Changing the bit (Fig. 6)
Caution! 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.
•
The cordless screwdriver is fitted with a
quick-action chuck (2) with an automatic
spindle stop.
•
Open the chuck (2).
•
The chuck 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 (2) and then check that the
tool is secure.
6.7 Screwing
It is advisable to use self-centering screws (e.g.
Torx, cross recessed head) as these will enable
you to work safely and reliably. Always make sure
that the bit used is of the same size and shape as
the screw. Set the torque to suit the screw size as
specifi ed in the instructions.
