Plug in the charger (10).
Switch on at the mains.
Leave the tool connected to the charger for 3-6 hours.
The charger may hum and become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Generally, a charging time of 3 hours will enable the tool to
operate at an effective power level for most tasks. However,
further charging for up to 6 hours could significantly increase
the run time, depending on the battery and charging
conditions.
Before using the tool, unplug the charger and disconnect
the tool from the charger.
Warning!
Do not use the tool while it is connected to the charger.
Adjusting the head (fig. C)
For optimum versatility, the head can be set to different positions.
Press the head adjustment button (2).
Swivel the head into the desired position. The button will
automatically lock itself into position.
Selecting the operating mode (fig. D)
For drilling, slide the switch (3) to the drill symbol and
rotate the torque collar (4) to the drilling position by
aligning the symbol with the marking (13).
For driving screws, slide the switch (3) to the screw
symbol and rotate the torque collar (4) to the required
torque setting.
Setting the torque (fig. D)
This tool is fitted with a collar 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.
Set the collar to the desired setting. If you do not yet know
the appropriate setting, proceed as follows:
Set the collar (4) 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.
Drilling/screwdriving (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 switch the tool on in forward rotation press the upper
button on the forward/reverse switch (1).
To switch the tool on in reverse rotation press the lower
button on the forward/reverse switch (1).
To switch the tool off, release the switch.
Using the LED (fig. F)
The LED (6) provides additional lighting in narrow and
hard-to-reach places.
To switch on the LED, slide the switch (14) forward.
To switch off the LED, slide the switch backward.
Warning!
Do not use the LED as the only light source.
Using the tape measure (fig. G)
The tape measure can be operated while it is stored in the
tool. The tape distance can be locked using the switch.
Warning!
While rewinding the tape, avoid letting it jump back.
To remove the tape measure (8), press the release button
(15) and take the tape measure out of its storage.
To restore the tape measure, insert it into the storage and
push until it is fixed.
Hints for optimum use
Drilling
Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the drill
bit.
Just before the drill tip breaks through the other side of the
workpiece, decrease pressure on the tool.
Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that may splinter.
Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in wood.
Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
Use masonry bits when drilling in soft masonry.
Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than cast iron
and brass.
Make an indentation using a centre punch at the centre of
the hole to be drilled in order to improve accuracy.
Screwdriving
Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
with the screw.
When screwing in wood, it is recommended to drill a pilot
hole with a depth equal to the length of the screw. A pilot
hole guides the screw and prevents splintering or
distortion of the wood. For the optimum size of the pilot
hole, refer to the table below.
When screwing in hardwood, also drill a clearance hole
with a depth equal to half the length of the screw. For the
optimum size of the clearance hole, refer to the table
below.
