Spindle lock function
The power tool is fitted with an automatic spindle lock feature. When the ON/OFF switch
(6) is not pressed, the chuck (1) rotation is locked. Now it is possible to use the screwdriver
(even when the battery is empty) as a manual tool.
TIPS FOR DRILLING
• Prior to drilling, make sure that correct work mode has been set- adjusting ring is set to
the marking. In this setting the slip clutch is inactive and the torque is maximum.
• Always drill with right rotation direction set.
• The drill bit should be suitable for the material of the workpiece.
• When drilling into soft wood, it is recommended to set maximum speed.
• When drilling in hard wood, it is recommended to set minimum speed.
• When drilling in concrete, use impact function (work mode adjusting ring set to the
position).
• Drilling in wood: When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with wood drills
equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the drill
bit into the workpiece.
• Drilling in metal: To prevent the drill bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an
indentation with a center-punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point
of the drill bit in the indentation and start drilling.
• Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which
should be drilled dry.
Caution:
• Applying excessive pressure on the power tool does not speed up the drilling process.
Excessive pressure may damage the tip of the bit, reduce power tool efficiency and
shorten its lifespan.
• There is a tremendous force exerted on the power tool when the drill bit begins to break
through the workpiece. Remember to hold the power tool firmly and exert care.
• If the power tool is operated continuously until the battery has discharged, allow the
power tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
TIPS FOR DRIVING IN SCREWS
• Prior to driving in screws, make sure that correct work mode has been set- adjusting
ring is set to the marking.
• Torque setting depends on the type of work being performed, type and hardness of the
material of the workpiece as well as the type and size of the screwdriver bit. The higher
number on the adjusting ring, the higher torque.
• When driving wood screw, pre-drill a pilot hole. It makes driving easier and prevents
splitting of the workpiece.
• Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool.
Start driving in screw at the lowest torque and speed setting and increase gradually if
required. Release the ON/OFF switch as soon as the clutch cuts in.
