5. Before starting the equipment
Be sure to read the following information before you
use your cordless screwdriver for the first time:
1. Charge the battery pack with the charger
supplied. An empty battery pack requires a
charging period of approximately 3 hours.
2. Only ever use sharp drill bits and screwdriver bits
which are suitable for the purpose and in
faultless condition.
3. Always check for concealed electric cables and
gas and water pipes when drilling and screwing
in walls.
6. Operation
6.1 Charging the LI battery pack (Fig. 2/3/4)
1. Remove the battery pack (4) from the handle,
pressing the pushlock buttons (5) on the left and
right sides to 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 (9)
into the mains socket outlet.
3. Connect the charging cable (a) to the charging
adapter (8).
4. The green LED on the charger will come on.
Plug the battery (4) into the charging adapter (8).
Now the red LED will come on to indicate that
the battery pack is being charged. When the
charging period is completed after approx. 3
hours, the green LED on the charger will come
on again. The temperature of the battery (4) may
rise during the charging operation. This is
normal.
If the battery pack fails to become charged, please
check
whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts of the battery station (8).
If the battery still fails to become charged, please
return
the charger and charging adapter
the battery pack
to our Customer Service Department.
To ensure that the LI battery pack provides long
service you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you notice
that the power of the cordless screwdriver drops.

Never fully discharge the battery pack. This will
cause the LI battery pack to develop a defect.
6.2 Torque setting (Fig. 5 / Item 1)
The cordless screwdriver is fitted with a mechanical
torque selector.
The torque for a specific size of screw is selected
with the set-collar (1). The correct torque depends on
several factors:
on the type and hardness of material in question
on the type and length screws used
on the requirements needing to be met by the
screwed joint.
The clutch disengages with a grating sound to
indicate when the set torque is reached.
Important! The tool must be at a standstill when
you set the torque with the setting ring.
6.3 Drilling (Fig. 5 / Item 1)
For drilling purposes, move the set-collar to the last
step „Drill". In this setting the slip clutch is inactive.
The maximum torque is available in drilling mode.
6.4 Forward/Reverse switch (Fig. 6 / Item 2)
With the slide switch above the On/Off switch you
can select the direction of rotation of the battery-
powered drill/screwdriver and secure it against being
switched on accidentally. You can choose between
clockwise and anticlockwise rotation. To avoid
causing damage to the gearing it is advisable to
change the direction of rotation only when the tool is
at a standstill. The On/Off switch is blocked when the
slide switch is in centre position.
6.5 On/Off switch (Fig. 6 / Item 3)
Infinitely variable speed control is possible with the
On/Off switch. The further you press the switch, the
higher the speed of the battery-powered
drill/screwdriver.
6.6 LED lamp (Fig. 7)
The LED lamp (6) can be used in poor lighting
conditions to illuminate the area where you want to
drill or screw. The LED lamp (6) will be lit
automatically as soon as you press the ON/OFF
switch (3).
