8 | English
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
u
power tool has automatically switched off. The battery
can be damaged.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Removing the Battery
The battery (4) is equipped with two locking levels to pre-
vent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery re-
lease button (5) unintentionally. As long as the battery is in-
serted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
To remove the battery (4), press the release button (5) and
pull the battery out of the power tool. Do not use force to
do this.

Battery charge indicator

The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the
state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only
possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is
not in operation.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or
show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat-
tery is removed.
If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery
charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be
replaced.

moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
When working with an application tool, pay attention
u
that the application tool is connected securely to the
tool holder. When the application tool is not securely
connected with the tool holder, it can come off during ap-
plication.
Slide the application tool (12) onto the square drive of the
tool holder (1).
Secure the application tool (12) using a locking pin.
Operation

Method of Operation

The tool holder (1) (with the application tool) is driven by an
electric motor via a gear and impact mechanism.
The working procedure is divided into two phases:
Screwing in and tightening (impact mechanism in action).
The impact mechanism is activated as soon as the screwed
to
connection runs tight and load is therefore put on the motor.
The impact mechanism then converts the power of the mo-
tor to steady rotary impacts. When loosening screws or nuts,
the process is reversed.
Automatic shutdown ABR (ABR = Auto Bolt Release) (see
figure C)
The ABR function automatically shuts down the power tool
when the bolt nut is released. The automatic shutdown pre-
vents the bolt nut from falling down when released. You can
use the "Automatic shutdown (ABR)" button (6) to activate
Capacity and deactivate ABR. The LED for "Automatic shutdown
(ABR)" (7) lights up when ABR is activated. The previous
60−100 %
setting is retained when the battery is changed.

tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
60−80 %
sible while the on/off switch (9) is being pressed.
40−60 %
Right rotation: To drive in screws and tighten nuts, press
20−40 %
the rotational direction switch (8) through to the left stop.
5−20 % Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,
press the rotational direction switch (8) through to the right

stop.
Adjusting the Speed
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by
pressing in the on/off switch (9) to varying extents.
