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, insert the USB charger (9) (not
supplied) into the Battery (7).
‹ ‹
Plug the charger (9) into a suitable power source and
switch on.
‹ ‹
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Warning! fire Hazard. When disconnecting the charger from
the tool, be sure to unplug the charger from the outlet first,
then disconnect the charger cord from the tool.

battery snaps into place.

Operating Instructions
Trigger switch & reversing button (fig. E)
‹ ‹
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.
‹ ‹
A forward/reverse control button (2) determines the
direction of the tool.
‹ ‹
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and
depress the forward/reverse control button to the left.
‹ ‹
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control
button the opposite direction.
Torque control (fig.C)
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.
‹ ‹
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar to
the drilling position symbol
‹ ‹
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If
you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
‹ ‹
Set the collar 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.
