GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
1) Always check the efficiency and integrity of the tool. It
can cause serious injury to the user.
2) Keep a safe distance from property, people and animals
and do not allow them to approach while you are wor-
king.
3) Do not use the tool and do not charge the batteries in
closed or poorly ventilated areas or in the presence of
flammable and/or explosive liquids, powders, gases or
anything else of this kind.
4) To prevent overloads that may be hazardous to the tool
and operator, only use bits or accessories suited for the
job to be performed and turn the tool off when a slight
motor slowing is perceived.
5) Never remove any tool components and do not tamper
with it in any way.
6) Make sure that the object to be processed is firmly
secured in place.
7) Always check that accessories and bits are correctly
tight before using the tool.
8) The operator is responsible for third parties in the tool
work area.
9) Tie long hair back and do not wear bracelets or long
necklaces as they could get caught up in the moving
parts of the machine.
10) During work, always wear suitable safety goggles
and gloves.
11) Always keep a safe distance and good balance when
working with the tool.
12) Only use the on/off button to stop the tool.
13) When the tool and battery charger are not in use, store
them in a dry place out of reach of children.
14) Do not attempt to repair the tool and battery charger;
if broken, in case of abnormal wear or malfunctioning,
have qualified personnel at authorised service centres in-
spect them after having consulted the “Troubleshooting”
chapter in this handbook.
15) Only use this tool as instructed in this handbook.
16) Periodically check that all screws on the casing are
tight, where fitted.
17) The tool and battery charger must only be connected
when charging the batteries.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
1) The battery charger power mains must supply vol-
tage equal to that stated on the technical data plate
(230V~50Hz), and must be protected from overloads
and short circuits according to current regulations. Do
not use any other type of power supply.
2) Avoid that the power cord of the battery charger is
damaged or trod upon when functioning. Do not pull the
battery charger by the cable.
3) Any extension cables must have a section of electric
wires greater than or equal to that required to supply the
current absorbed by the battery charger.
4) Do not use the tool in the rain, in damp areas or on wet
surfaces and at temperatures other than those indicated
in the “Technical Specifications” chapter.
5) When charging the batteries, do not use the tool and
make sure that any tool lights/LEDs are off.
6) Disconnect the battery charger from the power supply
when not charging the batteries.
7) Do not charge batteries if room temperature is higher or
lower than the normal operating range (see “Technical
Specifications” chapter).
USE
The tool batteries may not be charged upon purchase.
Before use, fully charge the batteries by inserting the battery
charger plug in the tool socket before connecting the charger
to the power supply (see figure B). See the attached sheet
for battery charge times.
According to the purchased model, tool connection to the
power supply may be indicated by a LED (see figure A).
Do not use the tool while charging.
When fully charged, disconnect the battery charger from
the power supply and then from the tool.
- Before every use, check battery charge level by pressing
the indicator device button (where fitted) and test it making
it run idly. To guarantee long battery life, only charge
batteries before use if depleted and if do not allow the
tool to work efficiently.
- According to the purchased model, insert the required bit
or accessory in the chuck, first inserting the accessory
holder (where fitted) as illustrated in figure C.
- For models with built-in light only: Turn the tool light
on using the switch as required. This light may not be
enough to guarantee adequate illumination of the entire
work area.
- For models equipped with tightening torque adjustment de-
vice only (fig. E): turn the nut to set screwing/unscrewing
tightening torque as illustrated in Fig. E. If, during use, the
set torque is exceeded, a noise will be emitted from the
internal clutch device and the chuck stops rotating; this is
normal and is not a tool defect. According to the model,
the clutch device may be disabled (position
) in order
to set maximum motor torque, always to be used when
drilling.
- Press and hold down the on/off button in the position that
corresponds to the required chuck rotation direction.
- Release the button to stop the tool after use.
- For models with built-in light only: Turn the light off after
use.
Notes on battery use
Improper battery use shortens battery life and reduces
supplied power. Therefore:
1) Charge the batteries when fully depleted and until fully
charged. Intentionally deplete the batteries before char-
ging them and starting work.
2) Do not charge batteries for more than the time indicated
in this handbook.
3) If you usually use the tool for a short time, periodically
fully deplete and fully charge the batteries.
