Work area safety u Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. u 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 the dust

or fumes. u Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety u 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. u Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur- faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerat-

ors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is earthed or grounded. u Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-

tric shock. u Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry- ing, 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. u When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten- sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-

able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. u If operating a power tool in a damp location is un- avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec-

ted supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric

of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-

tion while operating power tools may result in serious per-

u Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection

used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in-

u Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off-position before connecting to power source

and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-

ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-

u Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a

rotating part of the power tool may result in personal in-

u Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

u Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-

ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught

u If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-

traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-

nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-

duce dust-related hazards.

u Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools

allow you to become complacent and ignore tool

safety principles. A careless action can cause severe in-

jury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

u Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power

tool for your application. The correct power tool will do

the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-

u Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

u Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-

move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power

tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-

cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

u Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or

these instructions to operate the power tool. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

u Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-

alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts and any other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

u Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

u Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-

count the working conditions and the work to be per-

formed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

u Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and

free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping

surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

u Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Screwdrivers

u Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the fastener

may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners

contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of

the power tool "live" and could give the operator an elec-

u Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are

hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-

pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead

to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to

explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-

age or may cause an electric shock.

u Hold the power tool securely. When tightening and

loosening screws be prepared for temporarily high torque

u Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with

clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by

u Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-

plete stop before placing it down. The application tool

can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.

Noise/Vibration Information

GSR 6-25 TE GSR 6-45 TE GSR 6-60 TE Noise emission values determined according to EN 62841-2-2.

Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power tool is:

(triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined according to EN 62841-2-2:

The vibration level and noise emission value given in these

instructions have been measured in accordance with a

standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com-

pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary

estimation of vibration and noise emissions.

The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-

ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the

power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-

plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level

and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly

increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total

To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the

times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but

not actually being used should also be taken into account.

This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions

over the total working period.

Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-

ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the

power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,

and organising workflows correctly.

u Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any

work on the power tool.

Changing the Tool (see figure A)

Pull the depth stop (4) off towards you. Pull the screwdriver

bit (1) out. If required, the universal bit holder (10) can also

be pulled out and replaced.

After changing the tool, reattach the depth stop .

u Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the

power source must match the voltage specified on the

rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked

with 230V can also be operated with 220V.

u Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-

ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current

Setting the Rotational Direction

tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-

sible while the on/off switch (7) is being pressed.

– Clockwise: To drive in screws, press the rotational direc-

tion switch (8) through as far as possible to the left.

– Anti-clockwise: To loosen or unscrew screws, press the

rotational direction switch (8) through as far as possible

To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch

Press the lock-on button (6) to lock the on/off switch (7) in

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (7);

or, if the switch is locked with the lock-on button (6), briefly

press the on/off switch (7) and then release it.

You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by

pressing in the on/off switch (7) to varying extents.

A light pressure on the on/off switch (7) results in a low rota-

tional speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in-

Adjusting the screw-in depth (see figure B)

The depth to which the screw head is screwed into the work-

piece can be preset by turning the adjusting sleeve (3) to 8

engaging steps for each rotation. Each step corresponds to a

0.25 mm change in the screw-in depth.

Turning the adjusting sleeve (3) clockwise increases the

screw-in depth; turning it anticlockwise decreases the

The best way to determine the setting you require is to drive

in some test screws.

u Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any

work on the power tool.

u Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the

tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.

Place the screw against the screwdriver bit (1). The screw

will be held in place by the magnetic retention force of the

universal bit holder (10). Forcefully press the tip of the

screw against the material you wish to screw until the screw

depth stop (4) rests on the workpiece.

Switch the power tool on. The screw is screwed into the

workpiece until it reaches the set screw depth. The drive is

disconnected; the tool holder stops rotating. Check the

screw depth and adjust it if necessary.

To loosen screws, set the rotational direction switch (8) to

anticlockwise and pull the screw depth stop (4) off towards

you without turning the adjusting sleeve.

You can also work with the screw depth stop (4) fitted when

adjusting the screw depth.

You can use the belt clip (5) to hang the power tool on a belt,

for example. You then have both hands free and the power

tool is always at hand.
