Move the charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 18 ° – 24 °C;
u
If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
pack and charger to your local service center.
u
The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse effect on the battery pack.
u
Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from charger cavities. Unplug the
charger before attempting to clean.
u
Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any
other liquid.

Operating Instructions
Trigger switch & reversing button (fig. D)
u
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing
the trigger switch (1). The farther the trigger is depressed,
the higher the speed of the drill.

button, be sure the trigger is released.
Torque control (fig.E)
This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment collar (3) 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.
u
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar to
the drilling position symbol
u
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If you
do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
u
Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
u
Tighten the first screw.
u
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.
Keyless chuck (fig. F)
Warning! Make certain the lock-off button (2) is engaged
to prevent switch actuation before installing or removing
accessories.
