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.

Changing the tool (see figure A)
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
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 (11) onto the square drive of the
tool holder (1).
Due to the way the system operates, the application tool
(11) will move around slightly in the tool holder (1); this has
no influence on the function/safety.
Operation

Method of Operation

The tool holder (1) (with the application tool) is driven by an
electric motor via a gear and impact mechanism.
1 609 92A 4VZ | (13.10.2020)
The working procedure is divided into two phases:
Screwing in and tightening (impact mechanism in action).
to
The impact mechanism is activated as soon as the screwed
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 (5) to activate
Capacity
and deactivate ABR. The LED for "Automatic shutdown
60−100 %
(ABR)" (7) lights up when ABR is activated. The previous
30−60 % setting is retained when the battery is changed.

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery
Set the rotational direction switch (8) to the centre position
to protect the power tool from being switched on accident-
ally.
Push the charged battery (3) into the base of the power tool
until the battery is securely locked.
Capacity
Set the rotational direction (see figure B)
80−100 %
The rotational direction switch (8) is used to change the ro-
60−80 %
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
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,
0−5 %
press the rotational direction switch (8) through to the right
stop.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(9).
The lamp (6) lights up when the on/off switch (9) is lightly or
fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in
poor lighting conditions.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (9).
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.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (9) results in a low rota-
tional speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in-
crease in speed.

Practical advice

Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the
u
tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
The torque depends on the impact duration. The maximum
achieved torque results from the sum of all individual
torques achieved through impact. Maximum torque is
achieved after an impact duration of 6–10 seconds. After
