[Symbol]
Switch off the tool immediately in the event of any malfunction of
power cable, plug or fuse, if the switch malfunctions or if you notice
fumes or the smell of burning insulant. Also switch the tool off if you
hear any unusual noises.
Special Cautions for Cordless Driver Drills
The driver drill is operated with a battery cartridge. Treat a defective or no
longer chargeable cartridge as special waste. Return it to your dealer for
4

professional disposal or deposit it at a public waste disposal station. Do not
dispose the battery cartridge as normal household waste, in water or fire.
Risk of explosion!
Disconnect the cartridge when the tool is not in use, before maintenance or
when changing tools as e.g. clamping chucks or drill bits.
When working on walls, ceilings, floors etc., make sure that no energy
supply lines (electricity, water or gas pipings) run nearby. Use a suitable
instrument (e.g. metal detector) for this purpose.
Tool and workpiece may become very hot during use. Wait for the tool to cool
down before continuing.
Safety Precautions for Charger and Battery Cartridge
- Only use the charger and battery cartridge supplied by the
manufacturer to prevent the risk of an accident.
- Protect charger, cartridge and driver drill from moisture and humidity,
such as rain or snow.
- Prior to using the charger, ensure that all cables are correctly
connected.
- If damage to cable is found, discontinue use of the charger. Have the
damaged cable replaced by a service centre.
- When the charger is not in use, unplug the charger plug from the
power outlet. Do not pull the plug by the cable.
- If the charger was dropped or subject to other high mechanical stress,
have it checked for damage by an approved service centre before continuing
its use. Any damaged parts must be repaired.
- Treat the battery cartridge with care. Do not drop it or subject to rough
handling.
- Never attempt to repair the charger or battery cartridge yourself. Have
all repairs performed only by an approved service centre to avoid the risk of
an accident.
- Be sure to disconnect the power prior to cleaning or servicing the
charger or battery cartridge.
- Never recharge the cartridge at ambient temperatures below 10°C or
above 40°C.
5

- Do not shortcircuit the cartridge. During a shortcircuit, high-voltage
currents are generated causing the cartridge to overheat, catch fire or burst
with the risk of injury to the user. For this reason, never connect any cables
to the terminals of the battery cartridge. Keep all metal objects (nails, paper
clips, coins etc.) away from the battery terminals. Protect the cartridge from
water or rain at all times.
A damaged and no longer rechargeable battery cartridge should be returned
to your dealer for safe disposal or must be disposed as special waste. Do not
dispose as household rubbish.
- Never throw the battery cartridge into fire or water. Risk of explosion!

Insertion and Removal of Battery Cartridge
Before removing the battery cartridge from the charger, be sure to unplug
the AC adaptor from the outlet.
To insert the battery cartridge, align the strap on the battery cartridge with
the groove in the housing of the driver drill. The cartridge must slide in
easily. Do not force when inserting the battery cartridge as this indicates
incorrect insertion. Check after assembly that the mounting straps have
clicked into place and the charger is firmly locked into the tool.
6

To remove, press the mounting straps on both sides of the cartridge. Then
remove the cartridge from the tool.
Charging
Before inserting the cartridge into the charger, be sure to unplug the AC
adaptor from the power outlet.
Insert the cartridge firmly into the charger. Connect the power cable to the
charger. Insert the AC adaptor into the power outlet. The charging light
indicates the start of charging. The cartridge is recharged after about 5 to 7
hours.
Before removing the cartridge from the charger, unplug the AC adaptor from
the power source.
Caution! New cartridges are not yet charged and must be charged prior to
use. Never charge the cartridge several times in succession without using
and fully discharging it first. Doing so entails the risk of overloading the
cartridge. This substantially reduces the service life of battery cartridge and
charger.
On completion of charging, never use the charger immediately to charge a
second cartridge. Switch the charger off for 15 min to avoid overheating.
Additional cartridges can be purchased from Westfalia under Item No.

The driver drill is equipped with a high-speed clamping chuck for which no
setting key is required. Make sure that driver bits or drill bits are inserted
straight.
To insert driver or drill bits, hold the lower ring of the clamping chuck in
place and turn the sleeve counterclockwise. Open the chuck as far as needed
to insert the bit. Insert the bit shaft fully, then turn the sleeve clockwise to
tighten the chuck.

To remove the bit from the clamping chuck, hold the lower ring of the chuck
in place and turn the sleeve counterclockwise. Open the chuck until the bit
can be extracted.
Operation
1 Trigger Switch
To switch tool on, press the trigger switch and keep it depressed. Tool speed
can be adjusted by increasing (for higher speed) or decreasing (for lower
speed) the pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
2 Reversing Switch
Caution! Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a complete
stop or tool damage may result.
The reversing switch allows changing the rotation of the tool. For counter-
clockwise rotation, press the lever all the way to the right. For clockwise
rotation, press the lever all the way to the left. When the reversing switch is
in neutral position, the switch trigger cannot be pulled. Use this switch
setting to prevent unintended tool starts.
Adjusting the Fastening Torque
Use the adjusting ring to set the desired maximum torque.
Caution! Be sure to let the tool come to a complete stop before adjusting the
torque or tool damage may result.
8

The fastening torque is at a minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the
pointer. In this setting, the torque clutch will slip already at a very low
torque.
The higher the selected number on the setting ring, the larger the highest
selected torque.
The maximum torque is reached when the pointer is aligned with the drill
symbol. In this setting, the torque clutch does not slip.
[Illustration]
Adjusting Ring
Pointer
Select a lower torque for screwing to avoid damaging the screw or the
workpiece, in particular wood. To drill select a higher torque. Before actual
operation, drive a pilot screw into the workpiece and set the required torque
level accordingly.
Operation
Only use bits that can be clamped firmly into the chuck.
1 Drilling
When working on walls, ceiling, floors or similar, make sure no energy lines
(power, water or gas pipes) run nearby. Use a suitable instrument (e.g. a
metal detector) for detection.
Check that the drill bit is properly inserted before operation. Keep the drill
bit sharp. Use lower rotation speeds for trial drilling. Pre-drill large boreholes
using a small drill bit.
2 Drilling in Wood
Use a wood drill when working on wood. Clamp or fasten the workpiece into
a suitable clamping device. Mark the drill points with a prick punch or nail.
Do not press the tool excessively.
3 Drilling in Metal
To drill metal, use a steel bit. Ensure adequate cooling using a suitable
lubricant. Secure or fasten the workpiece in a suitable clamping device.
Ensure that the workpiece rests smoothly on the bench. Mark the drill point
with a prick punch. Do not press on the tool excessively during drilling; let
the drill speed do the work.
9

Caution! Select a lower speed at the start of the work to prevent slipping.
When the borehole becomes deeper, the drill bit may get stuck. In such a
case, the drilling or the tool may be subject to a large torque. Be sure to hold
the tool firmly and release the trigger switch if the bit is stuck. Set the
reversing switch to reverse rotation to clear a stuck bit.
4 Drilling in Plastic
To drill in plastic, use a steel bit. Proceed as with drilling into wood.
5 Drilling in Rocks, Tiles etc.
Use a stone drill to drill into walls, rocks etc. Do not apply undue pressure
on the tool. See notes on Drilling in Metal.
6 Screwing
Check that screw bits are properly inserted before operation. Do not tighten
screws excessively. Screws could be subject to excessive torque and tear.
7 Screw Insertion
Use the reversing switch to set the direction of rotation to clockwise
direction. To avoid damaging the screw or screw bit, align the screw bit with
the slot of the screw. Apply steadily increasing pressure on the screw while
screwing.
When the screw is fully screwed in, release the switch trigger to avoid
damaging the screw or screw bit. In such a case, a large torque may bear on
the screw bit. Be sure to hold the tool firmly.
8 Unscrewing
Use the reversing switch to set the direction of rotation to counterclockwise
direction. To avoid damaging the screw or screw bit, align the screw bit with
the slot of the screw.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Be sure to disconnect the battery cartridge before working on the tool.
Clean the tool periodically, ideally immediately after finishing the work. Do
not use sharp objects for cleaning. Clean the tool with a dry or slightly moist
cloth. Do not use cleaning agents containing aggressive chemicals. These
could damage the plastic components. Never use kerosene, turpentine,
thinner or similar products.
10

Make sure no fluid enters the tool. Never immerse the tool or parts of it into
a fluid.
Ensure that the ventilation slots are clean and unobstructed at all times.
