10. OPERATIONAL TIPS
Boring and drilling (Fig. 13-14-15)
• Grease the bits periodically when drilling holes in
metals (except when drilling non-ferrous metals and
their alloys).
• When drilling hard metals, apply more force to the
power tool and lower the rotation speed.
• When drilling large diameter holes in metal, first drill
a smaller diameter hole and expand it to the required
diameter (Fig. 13.1).
• Follow these instructions to avoid surfaces from
cracking at the tool bit's exit point when drilling holes
in the wood, as shown in (Fig. 13.2).
• Take the following measures to reduce dust from dri-
lling holes in walls and ceilings, as indicated in (Fig. 14).
How to screw in screws (Fig. 16)
• First drill a hole with a diameter equal to 2/3 of the
screw's diameter to make it easier to tighten the screws
and prevent work attachment breakage.
• Take the following measures to make a durable, un-
cracked, unfractured, even joint, if you join work pieces
using screws, as shown in (Fig. 16)
11. POWER TOOL MAINTENANCE / PREVENTA-
TIVE MEASURES
Before carrying out any procedure, centre the rotatio-
nal direction selector switch (8) to lock the switch and
prevent the tool's untimely start-up.
Battery maintenance instructions
• Carry out charging in a timely manner, before the
battery is completely drained. Stop operating when it
is at low power and charge it immediately.
• Do not overcharge the battery when the battery is
fully charged, otherwise its service life will be shortened.
• Charge the battery at room temperatures of 10ºC to
40ºC (50ºF to 104ºF). Charging the battery in temperatures
out of this range can damage it and may cause fire.
• Charge the battery every 6 months, if you have not
used the tool for an extended period.
• Replace used batteries in a timely fashion. Decreased
working time indicates that the battery is worn out
and needs to be replaced. Take into account that the
battery can be drain faster if the work is carried out at
temperatures below 0°C.
• If unused and stored for an extended period, the
machine should be stored at room temperature, without
the battery and with the battery charged.
Cleaning the power tool
Keeping the power tool clean is a crucial condition for a
long-term, safe usage. Clean the tool with compressed
air frequently through the ventilation slots (9).
Technical service:
a) To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, any
other maintenance or adjustment should be performed
by authorized service senters, always using original
replacement parts.
b) Do not repair damaged batteries. Maintenance of the
batteries should be performed only by their producer or
authorized service center.
12. HOW TO TRANSPORT POWER TOOLS
• Do not drop the tool to avoid blows that may damage
the tool.
• Always transport the tool in its original transport case.
Li-Ion batteries
The built-in Li-Ion battery is subject to the requirements
of the legislation on dangerous goods
The user can transport the batteries by road without
any additional requirements.
When transported by third parties (e.g. air transport
or carrier agency), the special packaging and labelling
requirements must be observed.
It is necessary to consult a hazardous materials expert
to prepare the item that is to be shipped.
Only send batteries when the housing is in good condition.
Tape or cover the open contacts and pack the battery in
such a way that it cannot move in the packaging. Keep in
mind that national regulations might be more detailed.
13. NOISE AND VIBRATION LEVEL
The noise and vibration levels of this device have been
measured in accordance with European standard EN
60745-2-3, EN 60745-1 and EN 60745-2-1 and serve
as a basis for comparison with other machines with
similar applications.
The indicated vibration level has been determined for
the device's main applications and may be used as
an initial value for evaluating the risk presented by
exposure to vibrations. However, vibrations may reach
levels that are quite different from the declared value
under other application conditions, with other tools or
with insufficient maintenance of the electrical device
or its accessories, reaching a much higher value as a
result of the work cycle or the manner in which the
electrical device is used.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish safety measures
to protect the user from the effects of vibrations, such
as maintaining both the device and its tools in perfect
condition and organising the duration of work cycles
(such as operating times when the machine is subjected
to loads, and operating times when working with no-
load, in effect, not in use, as reducing the latter may have
a considerable effect upon the overall exposure value).
