9 Do not dispose of the battery
together with household waste
material
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG
(U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or
brown (= live) wire in the cord of the
charger to the earth terminal of the
plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut of
the cord of the charger, it must be
disposed of safely and not left
unattended
USE
• Charging battery 0
-
battery of new tools is not fully
charged
!
unplug the charger from the
tool after charging period has
ended thereby lengthening the
service life of the battery
IMPORTANT:
-
while charging, the charger and the
battery may become warm to
touch; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem
-
do not charge at temperatures
below 0°C and over 45°C; this will
seriously damage the battery as
well as the charger
!
a lithium-ion battery that is new
or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop
its full capacity until after
approximately 3 charging/
discharging cycles
-
connect charger B with both wall
socket and contact C
-
charging light D turns on indicating
that the tool is being charged
-
when the battery is fully charged,
charging light D turns of (after
5 hours)
-
the lithium-ion battery can be
charged at any time (interrupting
the charging procedure does not
damage the battery)
-
the lithium-ion battery does not
have to be empty before charging
(no "memory-efect" as with
nickel-cadmium batteries)
-
if you anticipate long periods of
non-use for the tool, it is best to
unplug the charger from its power
source
• On/of !
• Changing direction of rotation @
-
when not properly set in left/right
position, the tool will not operate
!
change direction of rotation
only when tool is at a complete
standstill
• Changing bits #
-
push bit to end position in bitholder
!
do not use bits with a damaged
shank
• Automatic spindle-lock
Allows you to manually tighten or
loosen screws, when necessary $
• Spot light G %
Spot light G automatically lights on
when activating switch A 2
• Two handle positions ^
• Battery protection
Switches of the tool automatically
when
1) the load is too high
2) the battery temperature is not
within the allowable operating
temperature range of -10 to +60°C
3) the lithium-ion battery is nearly
empty (to protect against deep
discharge)
!
do not continue to press the on/
off switch after the tool is
switched off automatically;
battery may be damaged
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Use the appropriate bits &
!
do not use damaged bits
!
only use bits with hexagon shaft
• When turning in a screw at/near the
cross cut end or an edge of wood,
pre-drill a hole in order to avoid
cracking of the wood
• For an optimal use of the tool a steady
pressure on the screw is required,
especially while removing
• When screwdriving in hard wood one
should pre-drill a hole
