holder (14) can also be pulled out and replaced. Use a pair
of pliers if necessary.
After changing the tool, reattach the depth stop (4).
Operation

Starting Operation

Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.

Inserting the battery

Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can
lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.
Set the rotational direction switch (5) to the middle position
to avoid unintentionally switching it on. Insert the charged
battery (7) into the handle until you feel it engage and it is
flush with the handle.
Setting the rotational direction (see figures E–F)
The rotational direction switch (5) is used to change the ro-
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
sible while the on/off switch (12) is being pressed.
Clockwise: Slide the rotational direction switch (5) on
the left-hand side of the power tool towards the front
of the power tool. The rotational direction switch (5)
on the right-hand side of the power tool automatically
slides backwards.
Anticlockwise: Slide the rotational direction switch
(5) on the left-hand side of the power tool backwards
(i.e. away from the front of the power tool). The rota-
tional direction switch (5) on the right-hand side of the
power tool automatically slides forwards.

Switching on/off

To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(12).
The LED lights up when the on/off switch (12) is lightly or
fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in
poor lighting conditions.
Press the lock-on button (6) to lock the on/off switch (12) in
this position.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (12);
or, if the switch is locked with the lock-on button (6), briefly
press the on/off switch (12) and then release it.
Adjusting the Speed
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by
pressing in the on/off switch (12) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (12) results in a low ro-
tational speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an
increase in speed.

Screwing in Screws
To screw in screws, place the screw on the screwdriver
bit (1). The screw will be held in place by the magnetic re-
tention force of the universal bit holder (14). Slide the rota-
tional direction switch (5) on the left-hand side of the power
tool towards the front of the power tool. Switch the power
tool on and push the tip of the screw firmly against the work-
piece. The screw is screwed into the workpiece until it
reaches the set screw-in depth. The retractable depth
stop (4) touches the workpiece and the drive is switched off;
the universal bit holder (14) stops turning. Check the screw-
in depth and readjust the retractable depth stop (4) if neces-
sary.
Adjusting the Screw-in Depth (see figure B)
The depth to which the screw head is screwed into the work-
piece can be preset by turning the adjusting sleeve (3).
Turn the adjusting sleeve (3) to the position of
your required screw-in depth. The number on
the scale (visible on the edge of the adjusting
sleeve (3)) can be used as a guide for your re-
quired screw-in depth.
Turning the adjusting sleeve (3) clockwise in-
creases the screw-in depth; turning it anti-
clockwise decreases the screw-in depth. Turning the adjust-
ing sleeve (3) beyond the MAX position will remove it from
the stop sleeve (2) completely.
The best way to determine the setting you require is to drive
in some test screws.
PowerSAVE mode (see figure C)
To activate PowerSAVE mode, briefly press the
PowerSAVE on/off button (9). The (11)
PowerSAVE LED indicator will light up. Then
briefly press the on/off switch (12) and lock it
in place by pressing the lock-on button (6).
The motor remains deactivated/disconnected, even if the
on/off switch (12) is pressed. Now push the power tool
gently into the workpiece to activate the motor.
The PowerSAVE LED indicator (11) will go out if the power
tool is unused for 30 minutes. To activate PowerSAVE mode
again, disengage the lock by briefly pressing the on/off
switch (12). Then press the on/off switch (12) again and
lock it in place with the lock-on button (6). The PowerSAVE
LED indicator (11) will light up again.
Retractable depth stop (see figure D)
To loosen or unscrew screws, line up the ar-
rows on the adjusting sleeve (3) and on the
gearbox of the power tool so that they are op-
posite one another. Pull the adjusting
sleeve (3) backwards until it audibly clicks into
place on the gearbox without any gaps. The screwdriver
bit (1) is now clearly visible. The power tool is ready to
loosen or unscrew screws.
Slide the rotational direction switch (5) on the left-hand side
of the power tool backwards (i.e. away from the front of the
power tool). The rotational direction switch (5) on the right-
