General safety instructions for power tools

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and dark areas invite to accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Additional functions

Sliding clutch

Always assume a safe standing position and hold the power tool securely in both hands.

If the drill becomes wedged unexpectedly, the power tool will suddenly jerk.

If the tool insert becomes caught or is jammed, the drive to the drill spindle is interrupted.

Remove the load from the machine immediately by retracting the drill bit

Switch off the power tool and loosen the drilling tool if the power tool has jammed.

If the machine is switched on while the drilling tool is jammed, high reaction moments can occur.

ASL Auto-Spindle Lock (Option)

If the On/Off switch VI is not pressed, the drill spindle and thus the tool holding fixture are locked.

This enables screws to be driven in even when the battery is flat and allows you to use the power tool as a screwdriver.

Run-on brake

When the On/Off switch VI is released, the chuck is braked, preventing the inserted tool from running on.

When driving in screws, do not release the On/Off switch VI until the screw has been driven in flush with the surface material. This prevents the head of the screw penetrating into the material.

QuixS quick change system (Option)

For quick chuck changing, when using a QuiXS adapter or for driving in screws without a chuck.

The bit can be inserted directly into the hexagon-shaped socket 2 of the drill spindle 1, making the machine shorter and lighter.

Battery

-NOTE-

The battery is supplied partially charged. Completely charge the battery before using your power tool for the first time.

Battery with lithium-ion technology

Total discharge protection

The "Electronic discharge protection function" protects the LI battery against total discharge. Should the battery discharge, the power tool is switched off by a protective circuit. The power tool stops operating.

-WARNING-

Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after an automatic shutdown of the power tool.

The battery could be damaged.

Temperature-dependent overload protection

The LI battery is equipped with NTC temperature monitoring which only permits charging within a temperature range of 5^ - 45^ . This ensures long battery service life.

Special notes on batteries with NiMH cells

The power of NiMH batteries drops noticeably at ambient temperatures below 0^ C or over 45^ C .

Even when not in use, NiMH batteries should be recharged roughly every 4 months to ensure that they continue to work at full capacity.

After each tenth charging operation, NiMH batteries should be left in the charger for an extra hour to balance out differences in the capacities of the individual cells.

Because of the danger of self-discharging, NiMH batteries should be stored at ambient temperatures of between 0^ and 25^ where possible.

Battery care

Never charge batteries at temperatures lower than 5^ or higher than 45^ .

Never charge batteries in an environment with high air humidity or a high ambient temperature.

If the batteries are not used for a prolonged period, store them partially charged in a cool place.

IMPORTANT! Batteries will also self-discharge while the equipment is not in use. Charge the batteries regularly to prevent this.

Or even better: Insert the battery into the charger while it is plugged into the mains and ready for operation, as the charger switches to trickle charge when the charging process is completed. This is the best course of action with regard to the service life of the battery and in order to keep it fully operational.

Do not leave the battery in the charger when the charger is not ready for operation.

Charge the battery regularly to ensure maximum service life. This is especially important if you notice that the device is no longer functioning at full power.

To ensure maximum service life, do not recharge the battery immediately when it has only been in use for a short period. If possible, wait until it has reached its lower capacity limit before recharging it.

Try to avoid causing the machine to jam. When this happens, it requires an excessive amount of energy, which means that the battery becomes discharged sooner and is subject to higher wear.

If you notice that you have to charge the battery more and more frequently, it is spent and must be replaced.

Observe the instructions for disposal.

Workplace lighting (optional)

The lamp 7 allows you to cast more light on your working area where lighting conditions are unfavourable.

The lighting switches on automatically when you press the On/Off switch VI.

If the rotational direction switch V is in centre position, the lamp can be used without rotational movement of the driver.
