When the machine is not being used over a longer period of time, the battery has to
be charged fully first. The battery has to be stored in charged condition.

Fitting and removing drill cutters
In addition to drill cutters, the tool can also accommodate screwdriver bits with a hexagonal
shaft.
•
Loosen the drill chuck (3) by rotating the hand-grip.
•
Insert the shaft of the drill cutter into the chuck.
•
Tighten the drill chuck so that the drill cutter is firmly clamped.
•
Rotate the drill chuck in the opposite direction when you wish to change the cutter.
Operation
Hold the appliance firmly and press the drill cutter steadily onto the workpiece. Do not
overload the appliance.Only use drill cutters with no visible wear. Worn drill cutters will have a
bad effect on the functioning of the appliance.
Adjusting the torque
The appliance has 16 different torque settings with which to set the power for driving and
removing screws.
•
Set the torque adjustment ring (2) to the desired
position. The available torque settings are indicated on the
adjustment ring by the numbers 1 to 8 and by dots
between the figures to define intermediate settings (16 in total).
•
You should preferably choose as low a setting as
possible when using the screwdriver. Select a higher setting if the motor slips.
Driving and removing screws
•
Set the direction reversing switch (5) to position 'R' in order to drive screws.
•
Set the direction reversing switch to position 'L' in order to remove screws.
Drilling
•
Rotate the torque adjustment ring (2) to the drilling position.

attempting to operate this product and save these instructions.
Always check that the voltage on the batterypack corresponds to the voltage on
the rating plate. Also check that your mains voltage corresponds to the input
voltage of the battery charger.
The machine is double insulated in accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth
wire is required.
Charging batteries
•
Position the battery in the battery charger as indicated in the illustration.
•
Plug in the battery charger. The red “fast charging” light is then illuminated
•
As soon as the green light is illuminated, charging has finished and the accumulator is
ready for use
Only use the battery charger in a dry environment at a temperature between 10 °C
and 40 °C.
The battery on the machine you have purchased is not charged up. Before using it for the first
time leave it to charge for 1 - 2 hours in order for it to reach its full capacity. The total capacity of
the battery will be reached after it has been charged 4 – 5 times.
If the machine is not going to be used for a long period of time, recharge the battery
before storing. From time to time recharge the battery for a short period of time, to
prevent it from running down. Store the battery separately in the plastic case.
Discharging the battery
Not only charging batteries is important, discharging is of equal importance or
even greater importance.
•
When the battery is charged the machine has to be used until you start noticing that the
power is diminishing and that the maximum rotational speed is not reached.
•
The battery is almost discharged now. Only now you can start charging the battery.
•
Charging the battery while it is still charged for say one-third of capacity, the so-called
‘memory effect’ can occur. Since during charging only the discharged part of the battery
capacity of the battery is being charged now, the battery can start crystallizing in the one-
third that is still charged. This part of the battery capacity can never be used afterwards.
•
Do not discharge the battery to the minimum. As soon as you notice that the power or the
maximum rotational speed is diminishing, you have to charge the battery. When you
proceed using the drill and the battery becomes fully discharged, the so-called ‘switch of
poles effect’ can occur. The polarity of the battery poles will be switched: the ‘+’will
become ‘-‘ and the ‘-‘ will become the ‘+’. Once this has occurred the polarity will remain
switched during loading and this will damage the battery irreparable.
