1. General Safety Rules
WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
re and/or serious injury. The term ’’power tool’’ in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations
and instructions may result in an electric shock, re
and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a
safe place for future use.
1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tool.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your nger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5

5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
6. Recommendation
We recommend that the tool always be supplied via
residual curtrent device with a rated residual current of 30
mA or less.
2. Additional Safety Rules
Hold the equipment by the insulated handles
when carrying out work during which the screw
or the plug-in tool could strike concealed power
cables. Contact with a live cable may also make
the metal parts of the equipment live and cause
an electric shock.
We pay a great deal of attention to the design
of every battery pack to ensure that we supply
you with batteries which feature maximum
power density, durability and safety. The battery
cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each
individual cell is initially formatted and its
electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to
assemble the best possible battery packs. Despite
all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following
points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe
use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged
cells are used. Incorrect handling can cause cell
damage.
Important! Analyses confirm that incorrect use
and poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the
first time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity
falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are
no longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety
risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire.
There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it
to fire.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells. The most common cause of exhaustive
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working
as soon as the performance of the battery
falls noticeably or the electronic protection
system triggers. Place the battery pack in
storage only after it has been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from
overloads. Overloads will quickly result in
overheating and cell damage inside the
battery housing without this overheating
actually being apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batteries
which have been dropped from a height of
more than one meter or which have been
exposed to violent shocks without delay,
even if the housing of the battery pack
appears to be undamaged. The battery cells
inside the battery may have suffered serious
damage. In this respect, please also read the
waste disposal information.
10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut-
off will switch off the equipment for safety
reasons. Important! Do not press the ON/
OFF switch any more if the protective cut-off
has actuated. This may damage the battery
pack.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries,
explosion and a fire risk.
Information on chargers and the charging
process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger. Be sure to
connect the battery charger to a power
supply with the voltage marked on the rating
plate. Never connect it to a different mains
voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cable
from damage and sharp edges. Have
damaged cables repaired without delay by a
qualified electrician.
3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the
cordless tool out of children’s reach.
4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.
6. In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to
room temperature before commencing with
the charging.
6

m
7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not
exceed the maximum charging times. These
charging times only apply to discharged
batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in
overcharging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect
that the last time they were charged was
more than 12 months previously. There is
a high probability that the battery pack
has already suffered dangerous damage
(exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
10°C will cause chemical damage to the cell
and may cause a fire.
10. Do not use batteries which have heated
during the charging process, as the battery
cells may have suffered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries which have suffered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical
symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack
(recommended depth of discharge max.
80%) A complete discharge of the battery
pack will lead to premature ageing of the
battery cells.
13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Protection from environmental influences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture and
rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and inflammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient
temperature of 10-40°C.
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is likely to reach over
40°C. In particular, do not leave the battery
charger in a car that is parked in the sun.
6. Protect batteries from overheating.
Overloads, over-charging and exposure to
direct sunlight will result in overheating and
cell damage. Never charge or work with
batteries which have been overheated –
replace them immediately if possible.
7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers and
cordless tools. Store the charger and your
cordless tool only in dry places with an
ambient temperature of 10-40°C. Store your
lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place
at a temperature of 10-20°C. Protect them
from humidity and direct sunlight. Only place
fully charged batteries in storage (charged to
at least 40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from
freezing. Battery packs which were stored
below 0°C for more than 60 minutes must be
disposed of.
9. When handling batteries be aware of
electrostatic discharge: Electrostatic
discharges cause damage of the electronic
protection system and the battery cells.
Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch
the battery poles.
Important!
When using equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.

of the tool drops.
7.2 Torque setting (Fig. 4)
The tool is tted with a mechanical torque selector.
The torque for a specic size of screw is selected
with the torque selector (1). The correct torque depends
on several factors:
• On the type and hardness of material in question.
• On the type and length screws used.
• On the requirements needing to be met by the
screwed joint.
The clutch disengages the chuck by preventing rotation,
therefore indicates when the set torque is reached.
Important! The tool must be at a standstill when
you set the torque with the setting ring.
7.3 Drilling
For drilling purposes, move the torque selector
(Fig. 4/Item 1) to the last step “Drill“. In this setting the slip
clutch is inactive. The maximum torque is available in
drilling mode.
7.4 Forward/Reverse switch (Fig. 5 )
With the forward / reverse switch (2) you can select the
direction of rotation of the tool. You can choose between
clockwise and counter clockwise rotation. To avoid
causing damage to the gearing it is advisable to
change the direction of rotation only when the tool is at
a standstill. The On/Off switch (3) is blocked when the
forward / reverse switch (2) is in centre position. This
protects the tool against being switched on accidently.
7.5 On/Off switch (Fig. 5)
Innitely variable speed control is possible with the
On/Off switch (3). The further you press the switch, the
higher the speed.
7.6 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 4)
Press the switch for the battery capacity indicator (10).
The battery capacity indicator (9) indicates the charge
state of the battery on 3 colored LEDs.
All LEDs illuminate:
The battery is fully charged.
The yellow and red LED illuminate:

Red LED illuminates:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
7.7 Changing the accessory (Fig. 6)
Important! Set the forward / reverse switch (Fig. 5/Item
2) to its centre position whenever you carry out any work
(for example changing the accessory, maintenance work,
etc.) on the tool.
• The tool is tted with a chuck (7) with an automatic
spindle stop.
• Open the chuck (7) by rotating it counter-clockwise.
The chuck opening (a) must be large enough to
hold the tool (drill bit or screwdriver bit).
• Select the suitable accessory. Place the accessory
into the chuck opening (a).
• Tighten the chuck (7) by rotating it clockwise and
then check that the tool is secure. 9

7.8 Screwdriving
We recommend using self-centering screws (e.g. Torx
screws, recessed head screws) designed for reliable
working. Be sure to use a bit that matches the screw in
shape and size. Set the torque as per Section 7.2 of the
user guide.
7.9 Selecting 1st gear or 2nd gear (Fig. 4)
By adjusting the selector switch (6), you can work with a
faster or slower turning speed. Change the gear only
when the drill is at a standstill. If you fail to observe this
point, the gearing may be damaged.
7.10 LED lamp (Fig. 2)
The LED lamp (11) can be used in poor lighting
conditions to illuminate the area where you want to
drill or screw. The LED lamp (11) will be lit automatically
as soon as you press the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 3).
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing
free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the tool
