Attaching the detector (fig. K)
The tool provides a mounting location where the
detector (23) is stored when not in use.
◆
Hang the unit to the holder (24) as shown.
USE
Let the tool work at its own pace.
Do not overload.
Charging the battery
The battery needs to be charged before first use
and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power
on jobs that were easily done before.
When charging the battery for the first time, or
after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80%
charge. After several charge and discharge cycles,
the battery will attain full capacity. The battery
may become warm while charging; this is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
Do not charge the battery at ambient
temperatures below 4 °C or above 40 °C.
Recommended charging temperature:
approx. 24 °C.

reverse slider (2) to the left.

Selecting the operating mode or torque (fig. H)
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 (21).
