Fitting and removing a drill bit or
screwdriver bit (FIG. D)
This tool is fitted with a keyless chuck to allow for an easy
exchange of bits.

Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Charging the battery (FIG. A)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and
whenver it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were
easliy 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 tempera-
tures 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 (5), insert it into the charger (10).
The battery wii 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 (11) will flash green continuously
(slowly).
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (11)
lights green continuously. The charger and the battery can be
left connected indefinitely with the LED illuminated. The LED
will change to flashing green (charging) state as the charger
occasionally tops up the battery change. The charging
indicator (11) will be lit as long as the battery is connected to
the plugged-in charger.
• 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.
Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the
charging indicator (11) will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed as
follows:
• Re-insert the battery (5).
• If the charging indicators continues flashing res at a fast
rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
• If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
• If the new battery gives the same indication as the
original battery, take the charger to be tested at an
authorised service centre.
Note: It may take as long as 60 minutes to determine that
the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one
flash at each speed and repeat
Selecting the direction of rotation (FIG. E)
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 torque
This tool is fitted with a collar to set the torque for various
screwdriving and drilling applications. Large screws and hard
workpiece materials require a higher torque setting than
small screws and soft workpiece materials. For the definition
of the symbol refer to the listing below.
