Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace.
Do not overload.
Warning! Before drilling into walls, floors or
ceilings, check for the location of wiring and
pipes.
Charging the battery (fig. A)
The battery needs to be charged before first
use and whenever it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. The battery may become
warm while charging; this is normal and
does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at
ambient temperatures below 10°C or above
40°C. Recommended charging temperature:
approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery
if the cell temperature is below
approximately 10°C or above 40°C. The
battery should be left in the charger and
the charger will begin to charge
automatically when the cell temperature
warms up or cools down.
• To charge the battery (7), insert it into
the charger (8). The battery will only fit
into the charger in one way. Do not force.
Be sure that the battery is fully seated in
the charger.
• Plug in the charger and switch on at the
mains.
The charging indicator (9) will blink.
The charge is complete when the charging
indicator (9) switches to continuously on.
The charger and the battery can be left
connected indefinitely. The LED will switch
on as the charger occasionally tops up the
battery charge.

(Original instructions)
• Charge discharged batteries within 1
week. Battery life will be greatly
diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left
connected with the LED glowing indefinitely.
The charger will keep the battery pack fresh
and fully charged.
Selecting the direction of rotation (fig. C)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use
forward (clockwise) rotation. For loosening
screws or removing a jammed drill bit, use
reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
• To select forward rotation, push the
forward/reverse slider (2) to the left.
• To select reverse rotation, push the
forward/reverse slider to the right.
• To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse
slider into the centre position.
Selecting the operating mode or torque
(fig. D)
This tool is fitted with a collar to select the
operating mode and to set the torque for
tightening screws. Large screws and hard
workpiece materials require a higher torque
setting than small screws and soft workpiece
materials. The collar has a wide range of
settings to suit your application.
• For drilling in wood, metal and plastics,
set the collar (3) to the drilling position
by aligning the symbol with the marking.
• For screwdriving, set the collar to the
desired setting. If you do not yet know
the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
- Set the collar (3) to the lowest torque
setting.
- Tighten the first screw.
- If the clutch ratchets before the desired
result is achieved, increase the collar
setting and continue tightening the screw.
Repeat until you reach the correct setting.
Use this setting for the remaining screws.
