Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Charging the battery (fig. A)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenev -
er it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. The battery may become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging tem-
perature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell tempera-
ture is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the charger
will begin to charge automatically when the cell temperature
warms up or cools down.
u
To charge the battery (5), insert it into the charger (10).
The battery will only fit into the charger in one way. Do
not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the
charger.
u
Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.
The charging indicator (11) will flash green continuously
(slowly).
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (11)
lights green continuously. The charger and the battery can be
left connected indefinitely with the LED illuminated. The LED
will change to flashing green (charging) state as the charger
occasionally tops up the battery charge. The charging indica-
tor (11) will be lit as long as the battery is connected to the
plugged-in charger.
u
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.
Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the charg-
ing indicator (11) will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed as
follows:
u
Re-insert the battery (5).
u
If the charging indicators continues flashing red at a fast
rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
u
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
u
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
service centre.
Note: It may take as long as 60 minutes to determine that the
battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too cold, the
LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one flash at each
speed and repeat.
Selecting the direction of rotation (fig. D)
For tightening, use forward (clockwise) rotation. For loosening,
use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
u
To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
(2) to the left.
u
To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
to the right.
u
To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider into the
centre position.

be driven.

Hints for optimum use
Screwdriving
u

u
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
u
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
with the screw.
