Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one’s
health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-
ditives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the ma-
terials to be worked.
u
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
Operation
Starting Operation
Inserting the battery
Note:
The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can
lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.
Set the rotational direction switch
(10) to the middle posi-
tion to avoid unintentionally switching it on. Insert the
charged battery
(7) into the handle until you feel it engage
and it is flush with the handle.
Setting the rotational direction (see figure B)
The rotational direction switch (10) is used to change the ro-
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
sible while the on/off switch
(11) is being pressed.
Right rotation: To drill and to drive in screws, press the ro-
tational direction switch (10) through to the left stop.
Left rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws, press the ro-
tational direction switch (10) through to the right stop.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(11) .
The LED (8) lights up when the on/off switch (11) is lightly
or fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in
poor lighting conditions.
To
switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (11) .
Adjusting the Speed
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by
pressing in the on/off switch
(11) to varying extents.
A light pressure on the on/off switch (11) results in a low ro-
tational speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an
increase in speed.
Preselecting the Torque
The torque presetting ring (3) can be used to preselect the
required torque in 20 stages. When the correct setting is
used, the application tool will be stopped when the screw is
driven flush into the material or once the set torque has been
reached. In position the overload clutch is deactivated,
e.g. for drilling.
When unscrewing screws, you can select a higher setting or
set the tool to the
symbol.
Mechanical Gear Selection
u
You can press the gear selector switch (5) with the
power tool off or on. You should not do this at full load
or maximum torque, however.
Gear I:
Low speed range; for working with a large drilling diameter
or for screwdriving.
Gear II:
High speed range; for working with a small drilling diameter.
Setting the operating mode
UniversalDrill 18V-60:
Screwdriving
Set the torque presetting ring (3) to the re-
quired torque.
Drilling
Set the torque presetting ring (3) to the
"drilling" symbol.
UniversalImpact 18V-60:
Screwdriving
Set the operating mode presetting ring (4) to
the "screwdriving" symbol.
Set the torque presetting ring
(3) to the re-
quired torque.
Drilling
Set the operating mode presetting ring (4) to
the "drilling" symbol.
Impact drilling
Set the operating mode presetting ring (4) to
the "impact drilling" symbol.
Fully automatic spindle lock (Auto-Lock)
The drill spindle, and therefore the tool holder (1) , are
locked when the on/off switch (11) is not pressed.
This enables screws to be screwed in even when the battery
(7) is empty and allows the power tool to be used as a
screwdriver.
Temperature-dependent overload protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or the permitted bat-
tery temperature is exceeded, the electronics of the power
tool will switch off until the temperature returns to within the
optimum operating temperature range.
Practical advice
u
Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the
tool is switched off.
Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
