USE
•
Combined switch for on/off and speed control A 2
- control the speed steplessly from zero to maximum by
putting less or more pressure on the trigger
•
Charging battery
! read the safety warnings and instructions
provided with the charger
•
Removing/installing the battery 2
•
Attaching belt clip 7
- attach the belt clip L to the drill with the supplied screw.

current battery level.
•
Changing direction of rotation 9
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A 2
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
Changing bits q
•
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
•
Torque control (VariTorque) w
- output torque will increase as clutch ring B is rotated
from 1 to 17
- when turning in a screw, first try VariTorque position 1
and increase until the desired depth has been reached
- position F will lock up the clutch to permit (non-impact)
drilling or driving heavy-duty work
- position D will lock up the clutch to permit impact
drilling only
! ensure that gear selector B is in position 2 when
function selector C is in impact drilling position
! do not use impact drilling position D for drilling in
wood, metal, ceramic and plastic to prevent the
drill/screw bit from being damaged
•
Mechanical gear selection e
- set selector G to desired speed
! actuate the gear selector while tool is running
slowly
1
- low speed
- high torque
- for screwdriving and drilling large diameters
- for tapping thread
2
- high speed
- lower torque
- for impact drilling
- for drilling small diameters
•
Battery protection
Switches off the tool or prevents the tool from being
switched on, when
- the load is too high
- the battery temperature is not within the allowable
operating temperature range of -20 to +50°C
- the lithium-ion battery is nearly empty (to protect
