Operation

Tips and notes on handling the cordless screwdriver

General information:

- Check the tool in the bit holder for correct fit before every application.

- The centre position of the clockwise / counter-clockwise rotation switch (lock) is suited for work breaks or (drill) bit exchange.

Screws:

- In case of soft wood, screws can be screwed in without pre-drilling.

- In case of hard wood or large screws, it is recommended to use a drill for pre-drilling.

- When using countersunk screws, the drill hole should be countersunk beforehand.

- Especially smaller screws and bits may be damaged when selecting an excessive torque and / or speed at the tool.

Drilling in general:

- Take short breaks regularly during drilling. When doing so, take the drill bit out of the drill hole so that the drill bit can cool down.

- Secure the workpiece in a tensioning device or vice.

- Use a suitable aid to mark the intended location of the drill hole.

Drilling in metal:

- Use suitable metal drill bits (e.g. drill bits made of high-speed steel (HSS)).

- For larger drilling diameters, use a smaller drill bit for pre-drilling.

• Metal drill bits may also be used for drilling in plastic.

Drilling in wood:

- Use drill bits suitable for wood.

- Place a block of wood under the workpiece or drill in from both sides so that the wood cannot break off when it is being drilled through.

- Use a wood drill bit with centring tip. For deep drill holes, use an auger bit; for large drilling diameters, use a Forstner bit.
