Before use
The SF 100-A may be used only with the SBP 10
or SFB105 battery.
Before it is used for the first time, it is essential
that a new battery is charged for 24 hours in normal
charging mode or up to 12 hours using the condition-
ing charging mode, thus permitting “forming” of the
battery cells to take place.
At low temperatures: Battery performance drops at low
temperatures. Store the battery at room temperature
when not in use.
At high temperatures: Do not store a battery where it
may be subjected to high temperatures (e.g. exposed
to the sun, at a window, behind a car windscreen or on
a radiator).
Do not work with the battery until it is run down. The
cells can be damaged if the battery is completely dis-
charged.
Operation
Insert tool insertion and removal
Use the safety catch

as protection against unin-
tentional switching on during transport.
Quick-release chuck
An insert tool can be clamped or released without a chuck
key. When the screwdriver is switched off by the on-off
control switch, the spindle is locked. This is a help when
opening / tightening the quick-release chuck.
Battery removal
Battery release button

If the battery has to be changed, press in the two release
buttons using two fingers and pull the battery out of the
screwdriver.
Battery insertion
Push in the battery as far as it will go. There must be an
audible click.
Only the Hilti SBP10 or SFB105 batteries may be used.
Battery charging
Only the Hilti C 7/24, C 7/36-ACS, SFC7/18, TCU7/36 or
SBC 12 H battery charger may be used. Please refer to
the charger operating instructions for the charging process.
If the SFB 105 battery is charged in the old SBC 12 H
charger, a loss of capacity must be expected with this
kind of charging. Full capacity of the battery will be
obtained with the C 7/24, C 7/36-ACS, SFC 7/18 and
TCU7/36 chargers.
Speed selection
Two-speed switch

The speed can be selected using the mechanical two-
speed switch, i.e. 1
st speed: 0–350 r.p.m. or 2 nd speed:
0–1250 r.p.m. Only change speed when the screwdriv-
er is not running.
Torque selection
Torque clutch setting ring

The release torque (1–7 Nm) is obtained by turning the
setting ring to the desired torque level (setting 1–20).
At the drilling symbol (
), the torque clutch is
blocked and the screwdriver gives its max. torque of
about 16 Nm (stalling torque) at this setting.

Reversing switch
The reversing switch is used to reverse the direction of
rotation of the chuck. A locking device prevents opera-
tion of the switch while the motor is running. The con-
trol switch

is deactivated when the reversing switch
is in the central position.
Speed control
Switch with electronic speed control
The speed can be controlled infinitely from zero to max-
imum by slowly depressing the switch.
Care and maintenance
Before cleaning, remove the battery from the tool in
order to prevent inadvertent starting.
