SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference. The term
“power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
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 tools. 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 an earth leakage circuit breaker.
Use of an earth leakage circuit breaker 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the
switch or energising 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 a
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 dust collection
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.

8
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
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, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations dierent
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of re when used
with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

USE
• Charging battery 0
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
- insert charger plug A into charger B
- slide charger onto battery
- connect charger to power source
- red light C will turn on indicating that the battery is
being charged
! remove battery from charger after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the service
life of the battery
IMPORTANT:
- after 3 hours the charging operation will be completed,
and the battery may be used, even though the red
light may still be on (the red light may require more
than 3 hours to turn o)
- while charging, the charger and the battery may
become warm to touch; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem
- ensure that the outside surface of the battery is clean
and dry before inserting into charger
- do not charge at temperatures below 0°C and over
40°C; this will seriously damage the battery as well as
the charger
- do not remove battery from tool while it is running
! a battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a few
minutes of operation; this may result in a reduction of
operating time and battery eciency
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool, it
is best to unplug the charger from its power source
• On/O !
• Speed control for smooth starting @
• Changing direction of rotation #
- indicator E shows the selected direction of rotation
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch F 2
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
• Changing bits $
- insert the bit as deep as possible in the chuck
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
! only use sharp bits
• Torque control (VariTorque) %
- output torque will increase as clutch ring J is rotated
from 1 to 15
- when turning in a screw, rst try VariTorque position 1
and increase until the desired depth has been reached
- position G will lock up the clutch to permit (non-
impact) drilling or driving heavy-duty work
- position H will lock up the clutch to permit impact
drilling only
! ensure that gear selector K is in position 2 when
clutch ring is in impact drilling position
! do not use impact drilling position H for drilling in
wood, metal, ceramic and plastic to prevent the
drill/screw bit from being damaged
• Mechanical gear selection ^
- set selector K to desired speed
! actuate the gear selector while tool is
running slowly
1 = HIGH POWER
- high torque
- for screwdriving and drilling large diameters
- for tapping thread
2 = HIGH SPEED
- lower torque
- for drilling small diameters
- for impact drilling
• Holding and guiding the tool &
- always use auxiliary handle L 2 (can be adjusted
as illustrated)
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)
- keep ventilation slots M 2 uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool;
let the tool do the work for you
