Run-on brake
When the On/Off switch VI is
released, the chuck is braked, pre-
EN
venting the inserted tool from running
on.
When driving in screws, do not release the On/Off
switch VI until the screw has been driven in flush
with the surface material. This prevents the head
of the screw penetrating into the material.
QuiXS quick change system (Option)
For quick chuck changing, when
using a QuiXS adapter or for driving
in screws without a chuck.
The bit can be inserted directly into the hexagon-
shaped socket 2 of the drill spindle 1, making the
machine shorter and lighter.
Battery
-NOTE-
The battery is supplied partially charged. Com-
pletely charge the battery before using your
power tool for the first time.
Battery with lithium-ion technology
Total discharge protection
The "Electronic discharge protection function"
protects the LI battery against total discharge.
Should the battery discharge, the power tool is
switched off by a protective circuit. The power tool
stops operating.
-WARNING-
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after
an automatic shutdown of the power tool.
The battery could be damaged.
Temperature-dependent overload protection
The LI battery is equipped with NTC temperature
monitoring which only permits charging within a
temperature range of 5 °C - 45 °C. This ensures
long battery service life.

Special notes on batteries with NiMH
cells
The power of NiMH batteries drops noticeably at
ambient temperatures below 0°C or over 45°C.
Even when not in use, NiMH batteries should be
recharged roughly every 4 months to ensure that
they continue to work at full capacity.
After each tenth charging operation, NiMH batter-
ies should be left in the charger for an extra hour
to balance out differences in the capacities of the
individual cells.
Because of the danger of self-discharging, NiMH
batteries should be stored at ambient tempera-
tures of between 0°C and 25°C where possible.
Battery care
Never charge batteries at temperatures lower
than 5°C or higher than 45°C.
Never charge batteries in an environment with
high air humidity or a high ambient temperature.
If the batteries are not used for a prolonged peri-
od, store them partially charged in a cool place.
IMPORTANT! Batteries will also self-discharge
while the equipment is not in use. Charge the bat-
teries regularly to prevent this.
Or even better: Insert the battery into the charger
while it is plugged into the mains and ready for op-
eration, as the charger switches to trickle charge
when the charging process is completed. This is
the best course of action with regard to the service
life of the battery and in order to keep it fully oper-
ational.
Do not leave the battery in the charger when the
charger is not ready for operation.
Charge the battery regularly to ensure maximum
service life. This is especially important if you no-
tice that the device is no longer functioning at full
power.
To ensure maximum service life, do not recharge
the battery immediately when it has only been in
use for a short period. If possible, wait until it has
reached its lower capacity limit before recharging
it.
Try to avoid causing the machine to jam. When
this happens, it requires an excessive amount of
energy, which means that the battery becomes
discharged sooner and is subject to higher wear.
