Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Warning! Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings, check for
the location of wiring and pipes.
Charging the battery (fig. A)
The battery needs to be charged before first use and
whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were
easily done before. The battery may become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Warning: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the charger
will begin to charge automatically when the cell
temperature warms up or cools down.
To charge the battery (7), insert it into the charger (8).
u
The battery will only fit into the charger in one way. Do
not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the
charger.
Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.
u
The charging indicator (9) will blink.
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (9)
switches to continuously on. The charger and the battery can
be left connected indefinitely. The LED will switch on as the
charger occasionally tops up the battery charge.
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
u
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.
Selecting the direction of rotation (fig. D)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward (clockwise)
rotation. For loosening screws or removing a jammed drill bit,
use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
u
(2) to the left.
To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
u
to the right.

(Original instructions)
To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider into the
u
centre position.
Selecting the direction of rotation (fig. C)
This tool is fitted with a collar to select the operating mode and
to set the torque for tightening screws. Large screws and hard
workpiece materials require a higher torque setting than small
screws and soft workpiece materials. The collar has a wide
range of settings to suit your application.
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar (3)
u
to the drilling position by aligning the symbol
marking.
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If
u
you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
Set the collar (3) to the lowest torque setting.
u
Tighten the first screw.
u
If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is
u
achieved, increase the collar setting and continue
tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct
setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws.
Drilling in masonry (fig. D & E)
For drilling in masonry, set the collar (3) to the hammer
u
drilling position by aligning the symbol with the marking.
Slide the speed selector (5) towards the front of the tool
u
(2nd gear).
Speed selector (fig. E)
For drilling in steel and for screwdriving applications, slide
u
the speed selector (5) towards the rear of the tool (1st
gear).
For drilling in materials other than steel, slide the speed
u
selector (5) towards the front of the tool (2nd gear).
Drilling/screwdriving
Select forward or reverse rotation using the forward/
u
reverse slider (2).
To switch the tool on, press the switch (1). The tool speed
u
depends on how far you press the switch.
To switch the tool off, release the switch.
u
Hints for optimum use
Drilling
Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the drill
u
bit.
Just before the drill tip breaks through the other side of the
u
workpiece, decrease pressure on the tool.
Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that may
u
splinter.
Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in wood.
u
Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
