Instructions F For your own protection and for the protection of your power tool, pay attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol! Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. using a metal detector). Slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak from defective Li-ion battery packs! If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with clean water and seek medical attention immediately. Protect battery packs from water and moisture!

Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!

Do not expose battery packs to naked flame! Do not open battery packs! Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs! Remove the battery pack from the machine before any adjustment or maintenance is carried out. Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the machine is switched off. Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at standstill. Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos must only be treated by specialists. - Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used. - The work place must be well ventilated. - The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended. Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with.

6 Special Product Features

• Angle screwdriver attachment for drilling and screwing in areas that are hard to reach (depending on model) • Hexagon socket holder in the spindle for a shorter, more lightweight machine. • Spanner flat for easy chuck changes, even if the chuck is overtightened. • Multifunctional monitoring system to protect the tool and battery pack

The machine's multifunctional monitoring system

If the machine switches off automatically, the machine electronics have activated automatic protection mode. A warning signal sounds

(continuous beeping). The beeping stops after a maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger is released (6). Causes and remedies: 1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics prevent the battery pack from discharging totally and avoid irreparable damage). If the battery pack is almost flat, it must be recharged. 2. Long continuous overloading of the machine will activate the temperature cut-out. Leave the machine or battery pack to cool. Note: The machine will cool more quickly if you operate it at idling speed. 3. If the current is too high (for example, if the machine seizes continuously for long periods), the machine switches off. Switch off the machine at the trigger (6). Then continue working as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing. 7.2

Charge the battery pack before use.

If performance diminishes, recharge the battery pack. The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 40°C. Removing the battery pack Press the battery pack release (7) button and remove the battery pack (8). To fit Slide in the battery back (8) until it engages .

Setting the direction of rotation, engaging the transporting safety device

(switch-on lock) Do not activate rotation selector switch (5) unless the motor has completely stopped!

Actuate the rotation selector switch (direction of rotation setting, transporting safety device) (5).

ENG Screws in areas that are hard to access

The angle screwdriver attachment (see Accessories chapter) greatly facilitates work on areas that are difficult to access. Thread tapping Lubricate the dies. Select 1st gear (low speed). Adjust torque control.

Vibration total value (vector sum of three directions) determined in accordance with

EN 60745: = Vibration emission value (drilling into ah, D metal) = Vibration emission level (screwing ah, S without impact) Kh, ... = Uncertainty (vibration) The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It is also suitable for a provisional estimate of the vibratory load. The specified vibration level applies to the main applications of the power tool. However, if the tool is used for other applications, with different accessories or is poorly maintained, the vibration level may vary. This can considerably increase the vibratory load over the entire working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This can considerably reduce the vibratory load over the entire working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
