Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
•
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
•
Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines
or call the local utility company for assistance
(contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical
shock; damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)

•
The battery supplied is partially charged (to ensure
full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery
in the battery charger before using your power tool for the
first time)

USE
•
Combined switch for on/off and speed control A 2
- control the speed steplessly from zero to maximum by
putting less or more pressure on the trigger
•
Charging battery
! read the safety warnings and instructions
provided with the charger
•
Removing/installing the battery 2
Battery level indicator 7
•
- press the battery level indicator button J to show the
current battery level 7a
! when the lowest level of the battery indicator
starts flashing after pressing button J 7b, the
battery is empty
! when 2 levels of the battery indicator start flashing
after pressing button J 7c, the battery is not
within the allowable operating temperature range
•
Attaching belt clip 8
- attach the belt clip K to the drill with the supplied screw.
•
Integrated bit clip L 2
- conveniently store hex bits.
•
Strap fixing M 2
- attach a wrist strap (not included) around your hand
when carrying the tool.
•
Changing direction of rotation 9
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A 2
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
•
Changing bits q
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
•
Torque control (VariTorque) w
- output torque will increase as clutch ring B is rotated
from 1 to 23; position C will lock up the clutch to permit
drilling or driving heavy duty work
- when turning in a screw, first try VariTorque position 1
and increase until the desired depth has been reached
•
Mechanical gear selection e
- set selector D to desired speed
! actuate the gear selector while tool is running
slowly
1
- low speed
- high torque
- for screwdriving and drilling large diameters
- for tapping thread
2
- high speed
- lower torque
- for drilling small diameters
•
WORKLIGHT H r
- WORKLIGHT H will illuminate in default low brightness
mode when the tool is turned on OR if WORKLIGHT
button G is depressed without turning the tool on.
Brightness can be switched from off to low to high or
from low to high to off by pressing the WORKLIGHT
button G.
- Low brightness – turns off approx. 10s after on/off
switch is released
- High brightness - turns off approx. 600s after on/off
switch is released
- Off - if press the WORKLIGHT button G to turn off
the WORKLIGHT H actively, and the WORKLIGHT H
will not be turned on by pressing switch for on/off and
speed control A again.
! WORKLIGHT button G is disabled while the tool is
running. The brightness should only be switched
when the tool is not running.
! when WORKLIGHT starts flashing, the battery
protection is activated (see below)
•
Battery protection
The tool is suddenly being switched off or prevented from
being switched on, when
- the load is too high --> remove load and restart
- the battery temperature is not within the allowable
operating temperature range of -20 to +50°C --> 2
levels of the battery level indicator start flashing when
pressing button J7c; wait until battery has returned
within the allowable operating temperature range
- the battery is nearly empty (to protect against
deep discharge) --> a low battery level or flashing low
battery level 7b is shown by the battery level indicator
when pressing button J; charge battery
! do not continue to press the on/off switch after the
tool is switched off automatically; battery may be
damaged
•
Holding and guiding the tool t
! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-
coloured grip area(s)
- always use auxiliary handle N, which can be mounted
