4. OPERATIOn
Always observe the safety instructions
and appli cable regulations.
Firmly hold the machine and ferm the bit with
even pressure into the workpiece. Do not force
the machine. Use only bits that do not yet show
any signs of wear. Worn bits have a negative
effect on the efficiency of the machine.
Locking the screwdriver
Fig. 8
The screwdriver is fitted with an automatic spindle
lock feature. When the On/Off switch (2) is not
pressed, the spindle is locked. Now it is possible
to use the screwdriver (even when the battery is
empty) as a manual tool.
Screwdriving
Fig. 1
•
To switch the tool on, press the On/Off switch
(2).
•
Press the tumbler switch (R) for clockwise
rotation (tightening screws)
•
Press the tumbler switch (L) for
counterclockwise rotation (loosening screws)
To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch.
The white LED will illuminate when the tumbler
switch is pressed.
Warning! Looking straight into LED light
for a prolonged period of time from close
distance can cause damage to the eyes.
user tips for optimum use
•
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a
straight line with the screw and always use the
correct type and size of bit.
•
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a
small amount of washing liquid or soap as a
lubricant (Fig. 9).
•
Use the spindle lock feature to loosen very
tight screws or to firmly tighten screws.
•
When screwing in wood, it is recommended to
drill a hole with a depth equal to almost the
length of the screw. A pilot hole guides the
screw and prevents splintering or distortion of
the work piece.

5. ChARgIng ThE BATTERy
Charging Li-Ion battery
Fig. 10
The battery charger supplied is matched to the
Li-Ion battery installed in the machine. Do not use
another battery charger.
The Li-Ion battery is protected against deep
discharging. When the battery is empty, the
machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: the tool holder no longer rotates. Caution:
if the On/Off switch is subject to continued use,
the Li-Ion battery can be damaged.
The charging procedure starts as soon as the
mains plug of the battery charger is inserted into
the socket and the adapter plug is connected to
the appliance (the underside of the handgrip).
•
Put the adapter plug of the charger into the
handle (underside)
•
Plug the mains adapter into the (wall) socket
•
The charging process starts; the red LED is
now on
•
The battery is fully charged when the red LED
goes out.
•
Charging the battery takes maximum 5 hours.
•
During the charging procedure, the handgrip of
the machine warms up. This is normal.
6. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is not live
when carrying out maintenance work on
the motor.
These machines have been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper machine care and regular
cleaning.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to
prevent overheating of the engine. Regularly
clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation
slots free from dust and dirt. If the dirt does not
come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy
water. Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol,
ammonia water, etc. These solvents may damage
the plastic parts.
