Changing the direction of rotation
♦
Change the direction of rotation by pushing the
rotation direction switch 3 to the right or left.
Tips and tricks
Tip! How to do things correctly.
♦
Before operation, check whether the screw or
drill insert is correctly fitted, i.e. centred in the
drill chuck.
♦
Screw bits are labelled according to their
dimensions and their shape. If you are uncer-
tain, always check first whether the bit fits tightly
in the screw head without any play.
Torque
♦
Smaller screws/bits can be damaged if you
set too high a torque or too high a speed.
Hard screw joints (in metal)
♦
Particularly high torques occur, e.g. in metal
screw joints made using drive sockets.
Select a low rotational speed.
Soft screw joints (e.g. in soft wood)
♦
Here, too, you should use a low rotational
speed, e.g. to avoid damaging the surface of
the wood upon contact with the screw head.
Use a countersink.
When drilling in wood, metal and other
materials, observe the following:
♦
Use a high speed for drill bits with a small
diameter and a low speed for drill bits with
a large diameter.
♦
Select a low speed for hard materials and
a high speed for soft materials.
♦
Secure or fasten the workpiece in a clamp
or vice (if possible).
♦
Mark the spot where you want to drill using
a centre punch or nail. Select a low rotational
speed when starting.

♦
Pull the rotating drill bit from the hole repeatedly
to remove dust and chips and clear the hole.
Drilling in metal
♦
Use a metal drill (HSS). For optimum results,
cool the drill bit with cutting oil. Metal drill bits
can also be used to drill into plastics. Start with
a 3 mm drill bit and then increase the size until
the desired hole diameter is achieved.
Drilling in wood
♦
Use a wood drill with a lathe centre; for deep
holes, use an auger bit; for large-diameter
holes, use a Forstner bit. Small screws can be
screwed directly into soft wood without
predrilling.
Maintenance and cleaning
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY! Always
switch the appliance off and remove
the battery before carrying out any
work on the appliance.
The cordless screwdriver is maintenance-free.
■
The appliance must always be kept clean, dry
and free from oil or grease.
■
Never allow liquids to get into the tool.
■
Use a dry cloth to clean the housing. Never use
petrol, solvents or cleansers which can damage
plastic.
■
If a lithium-ion battery is going to be stored for
an extended period, the charge level should be
checked regularly. The optimum charge level is
between 50% and 80%. The optimum storage
environment is cool and dry.
