The vibration level and noise emission value given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with a standardised measuring procedure detailed in EN 62841 and may be used to compare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary estimation of vibration and noise emissions. The given vibration level and noise emission value represent 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 working period. 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 the hands warm, and organising workflows correctly. Assembly u Remove the battery from the power tool before carry- ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re- moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch. Charge battery (see figureA) Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger before using your power tool for the first time. The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the battery. The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates. u Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the power tool has automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged. – To remove the battery (4), press the release button (3) and pull the battery back and out of the power tool. Do not use force to do this. You can also leave the battery (4) inserted in the power tool for charging. While it is charging, the power tool cannot be switched on. Follow the instructions on correct disposal. Changing the tool (see figure B) u Remove the battery from the power tool before carry- ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re- moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch. Inserting the application tool – Pull the locking sleeve (2) forward, guide the application tool (1) into the tool holder up to the stop and release the locking sleeve (2) to lock the application tool. – Use only screwdriver bits with ball catch (8) (DIN 3126- E6.3). Other screwdriver bits (9) can be inserted using a universal bit holder with ball catch (10). Removing the application tool – Pull the locking sleeve (2) forward and remove the applic- ation tool. Operation How it works The tool holder (1) (with the application tool) is driven by an electric motor via a gear and impact mechanism. The work- ing procedure is divided into two phases: Screwing in and tightening (impact mechanism in action). The impact mech- anism is activated as soon as the screwed connection runs tight and thus load is put on the motor. In this instance, the impact mechanism converts the power of the motor to steady rotary impacts. When loosening screws or nuts, the process is reversed. Starting Operation Inserting the battery Set the rotational direction switch (5) to the middle position to avoid unintentionally switching it on. Insert the charged battery (4) into the handle until you feel it engage and it is flush with the handle. Set the rotational direction (see figure C) The rotational direction switch (5) is used to change the ro- tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos- sible while the on/off switch (6) is being pressed. – Right rotation: To drive in screws and tighten nuts, press the rotational direction switch (5) through to the left stop. – Left rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts, press the rotational direction switch (5) through to the right stop. Switching on/off To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch (6).

Adjusting the speed You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (6) to varying extents. A light pressure on the on/off switch (6) results in a low rota- tional speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in- crease in speed. Temperature-dependent overload protection In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over- loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or the permitted bat- tery temperature is exceeded, the electronics of the power tool will switch off until the temperature returns to within the optimum operating temperature range. Protection against deep discharge The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by the Electronic Cell Protection (ECP). When the battery is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a pro- tective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates. Practical advice u Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off. The torque depends on the impact duration. The maximum achieved torque results from the sum of all individual torques achieved through impact. Maximum torque is achieved after an impact duration of 6–10 seconds. After this duration, the tightening torque is increased only minim- ally. The impact duration is to be determined for each required tightening torque. The tightening torque actually achieved should always be checked with a torque wrench. Screw applications with hard, spring-loaded or soft seats When the achieved torques in an impact series are measured during a test and transferred into a diagram, the result is the curve of a torque characteristic. The height of the curve cor- responds to the maximum achievable torque, and the steep- ness indicates the duration in which this is achieved. A torque gradient depends on the following factors: – Strength properties of the screws/nuts – Type of backing (washer, disc spring, seal) – Strength properties of the material being screwed/bolted together – Lubrication conditions at the screw/bolt connection The following application cases result accordingly: – A hard seat is a metal-to-metal screw application which uses washers. After a relatively short impact duration, the maximum torque is achieved (steep characteristic curve). An unnecessarily long impact duration only causes dam- age to the machine. – A spring-loaded seat is also a metal-to-metal screw ap- plication but uses spring washers, disc springs, studs or screws/nuts with conical seats. It is also called a spring- loaded seat when extensions are used. – A soft seat is a screw application of e.g. metal on wood or a screw application that uses lead washers or fibre wash- ers as backing. For a spring-loaded seat, as well as for a soft seat, the max- imum tightening torque is lower than for a hard seat. A much longer impact duration is also required.
