Despite extensive safety precautions, caution
is always required when handling batteries.
To ensure safe operation, the following points
must always be observed.
Safe operation is only guaranteed with unda-
maged cells! Incorrect handling can result in
cell damage.
Caution!
Analyses confirm that improper use
and incorrect care are the main causes of
damage in high-performance batteries.
Battery information
•
The battery pack in the battery-operated tool
is not charged upon delivery. The battery
must be charged before first-time use.
•
For optimal battery performance avoid com-
plete discharge cycles! Charge the battery
regularly.
•
Store the battery in a cool place, ideally at
15°C and at least 40% charged.
•
Lithium-ion batteries undergo a natural
ageing process. The batteries must be
replaced at the latest when the battery capa-
city amounts to only 80% of when they were
new. Weakened cells in an old battery pack no
longer measure up to the high performance
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
•
Do not throw used batteries into an open fire.
Risk of explosion! Do not ignite batteries or
expose them to fire.
•
Do not completely discharge the batteries!
Complete discharge damages the battery cells.
The most common cause for complete dis -
charge of battery packs is long-term storage
or lack of use of partially charged batteries.
Stop working as soon as the performance
becomes noticeably diminished or the pro-
tection circuit is tripped. Only store the bat-
tery after charging completely.
•
Protect batteries and device from becoming
overloaded!
Overloading quickly leads to
overheating and cell damage inside the
battery casing without the overheating
becoming externally apparent.
•
Avoid damage and impacts!
Replace batteries immediately if they have
fallen from a height of more than 1 m or were
exposed to a heavy impact, even if the battery
pack casing appears undamaged. The battery
cells inside could be seriously damaged.
Please also observe the information on
battery disposal.
•
For safety reasons, the integrated safety
switch disables the device if it becomes over-
loaded or overheated.
Caution!
Do not acti-
vate the On/Off switch if the safety switch has
disabled the device. This can result in damage
to the battery.
•
Only use the original rechargeable batteries.
The use of other rechargeable batteries can
result in injuries, explosions or fire.
Notes on the battery charger and charging
process
•
Please observe the information indicated on
the tool identification plate on the battery
charger. Only connect the battery charger to
the mains voltage indicated on the tool identi-
fication plate.
•
Protect the battery charger and cable from
damage and from sharp edges. Damaged
cables must be replaced by an electrician
immediately.
•
Keep the battery charger, batteries and
battery-operated tool away from children.
•
Do not use the battery charger if it is
damaged.
•
Do not use the battery charger provided
for charging other battery-operated tools.
•
The battery pack becomes warm with heavy
use. Allow the battery pack to cool down
to room temperature before starting the
charging process.
•
Do not overcharge the batteries!
Please observe the maximum charging time.
These charging times only apply to dis charged
batteries. Repeatedly plugging in charged or
partially charged batteries overcharges them
and damages the cells. Do not leave batteries
plugged into the charger for several days at a
time.
•
Never charge or use batteries that you
suspect were last charged more than
12 months ago.
It is highly likely that the battery is already
dangerously damaged (deep discharge).
•
Charging at a temperature under 10°C results
in chemical damage to the cells and can start
a fire.
•
Do not use any batteries that have become
warm during charging, as the battery cells
could be dangerously damaged.

Switching on and off
To switch on, press the On/Off switch down
fully and hold it pressed down.
To switch off, release the On/Off switch.
Setting the rotation direction
Slide the rotation direction switch to the left
to rotate screws in a
clockwise
direction.
Slide the rotation direction switch to the right
to rotate screws in an
anticlockwise
direction.
Slide the rotation direction switch to the
central position to lock the On/Off switch.
Inserting a bit
1.
Slide the rotation direction switch to the
central position to lock the On/Off switch.
2. Insert the selected bit into the bit holder as
far as it will go.
The bit holder is magnetic and holds the bit in
position.
To remove the bit, pull it against the slight
resistance out of the bit holder.
Using the bit extension
You can use the bit extension provided for hard
to reach work areas. The extension bit holder is
also magnetic.
Illuminating the work area
To switch on the LED light, slide the light
switch forwards.
To switch off the LED light, slide the light
switch backwards.
Tips for using the screwdriver
•
In order to have the required screws ready
to use while working, you can place them
on the magnetic screw holder on top of the
device.
•
It is best to use self-centering screws
(e.g. Torx, Philips) to ensure safe working.
•
Always ensure that the bit and screw used
match in shape and size.
•
Place the bit on the screw before switching
on the device.
•
Always hold the device, bit and screw in a
straight line.
