• Due to our continuing program of research and devel-
opment, the specifications herein are subject to change
without notice.
• Note: Specifications may differ from country to country.
Intended use
The tool is intended for screw driving in wood, metal and
plastic.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety
instructions.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
GEB017-1
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict
adherence to screwdriver safety rules. If you use
this power tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can
suffer serious personal injury.
1.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure
no one is below when using the tool in high loca-
tions.
3.
Hold the tool firmly.
4.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5.
Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated
in this instruction manual may cause serious
personal injury.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the

Switch action (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
“OFF” position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then
push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 2)
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A
side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counter-
clockwise rotation.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
