The cordless screw driller may be damaged by using different rechargeable batteries; there also is a danger of re and explosion due to an unsuitable rechar- geable battery. d) Operation of the Cordless Screw Driller

• Keep your workplace clean. Ensure good lighting at the workplace. Disorder at the workplace or bad lighting may cause accidents. Keep children away from the working area! Ensure good ventilation of the workplace.

• Only operate the product when your ability to react is unrestricted. Fatigue or the inuence of alcohol or medication can lead to accidents and injury.

• Rotating parts may wind up hair or items of clothing, danger of injury! Therefore, wear, e.g., a hair net if you have long hair, and wear close-tting clothes when working.

• Never touch the rotating drill chucks; never reach into the turning drill. Risk of injury!

• Check the cordless screw driller and the rechargeable battery inserted for damage before any use. If you nd any damage, do not take the device into operation, but have it checked by a specialist.

• The rotating direction switch must be put into the middle position for reasons of safety before inserting or removing drills or bits. The drive will be blocked in this position (activation lock).

• Use the cordless screw driller only for turning in and out screws, drilling holes or similar work. The cordless screw driller must not be used for any other purposes (such as mixing of mortar, driving other devices/machines/tools, etc.).

• Secure the workpiece against slipping or twisting. Use, e.g., a vice for drilling.

• Ensure safe stance when working; use, e.g., a suitable, strong ladder.

• Ensure that no power, gas or water lines are damaged when drilling or turning in screws! With power lines, there is a danger to life from electrical shock; with gas lines, there is a danger of re and explosion! Water lines may also lead to high property damage.28

• Never work on live parts. When working near any electrical lines or similar, always ensure suitable contact protection.

• Never overload any electrical devices. Use electrical devices only for the work that they are intended for. For example, the cordless screw driller must not be used to mix mortar.

• Never stress the cordless screw driller to where the drive stops. This may damage the motor and the gear both. Blocking of the drive will also lead to very high currents, so that the rechargeable battery and the power electronics in the cordless screw driller will be overloaded.

• Never push any objects into the ventilation openings of the cordless screw driller. Also ensure that no drilling dust or metal chips can enter the ventilation openings. This may lead to short circuit and there is a danger of re and explosion from the rechargeable battery!

• Depending on the work for which the cordless screw driller is used, wear safety goggles, a dust mask and hearing protection; if required, also wear a safety helmet (e.g. when working overhead). Otherwise, there are various dangers of injury!

• Dusts from various materials may be hazardous to health and may cause allergic reactions, diseases of the respiratory system or even cancer (e.g. asbestos-containing material - this must only be processed/ used by specialists).

• Observe the provisions valid in your country, e.g. on work protection measures.

• Properly hold the cordless screw driller. A sudden stop of the drive (e.g. if a drill catches) will transfer the torque to the cordless screw driller itself, and it will turn sideways. This poses the danger of the cordless screw driller falling from your hands, danger of injury! Switch off the cordless screw driller at once when the drive blocks (e.g. when a drill cants in a workpiece).

• Before you put down the cordless screw driller or set it down onto a surface, wait for the drive to stop completely.

• The cordless screw driller has a bright LED light that is activated automatically when the on/off switch is activated. Attention, LED-light. Never look into the LED beam! Never watch directly or with optical instruments! Danger of eye damage!29

7. Charging the Rechargeable Battery

Observe Chapter „Safety Information“. The rechargeable battery must be charged when the drive only turns very slowly without load or when the drive stops and the LED (10) ashes. Also charge the rechargeable battery every 3 months if you do not need the cordless screw driller. Otherwise, there may be deep discharge, which will permanently damage the rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is discharged when the product is delivered and must be charged at initial com- missioning. Proceed as follows for recharging the rechargeable battery:

• Connect the charger to the mains voltage. The green LED will light up.

• Remove the rechargeable battery from the cordless screw driller. For this, keep the unlocking button (8) pushed and pull out the rechargeable battery forwards.

• Push the rechargeable battery into the corresponding insert of the charger in the proper alignment (only one is pos- sible) (do not apply any force!). Charging will start automatically when the charger has recognised the rechargeable battery. The green LED goes out and the red charging LED remains lit. When the green LED ashes, the overtemperature protection has been tripped. Remove the rechargeable battery from the charger and disconnect the charger from the mains voltage. Let the rechargeable battery and the charger cool down completely. Start charging anew then. When the red LED ashes, the charger has recognised the rechargeable battery as defective. Remove the rechargeable battery from the charger and disconnect the charger from the mains voltage. Check the connection contacts of the rechargeable battery and the charger and then restart charging. If the red LED ashes again, the rechargeable battery is defective and must be replaced.

• When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the red charging LED goes out and the green LED lights up (rechar- geable battery is fully charged). Depending on the rechargeable battery‘s condition, the charging duration is approx. 1 hour.

• Remove the rechargeable battery from the charger right after the end of charging.

• Then remove the charger from the mains voltage by pulling the mains plug out of the mains socket.

• Put the rotating direction switch (4) in the middle position to block the drive.

• Push the rechargeable battery into the cordless screw driller until it latches.31

a) Removing the Rechargeable Battery from the Cordless Screw Driller/Inser- ting It

• To remove the rechargeable battery from the cordless screw driller, keep the unlocking button (8) pushed; pull the rechargeable battery out forward.

• To insert the rechargeable battery, push it into the rechargeable battery holder in the correct alignment until it lat- ches. b) Inserting Tool into the Quick-Action Drill Chuck/Removing It

• Put the rotating direction switch (4) in the middle position to block the on/off switch (9).

• Open the quick-action drill chuck by turning it counter-clockwise to the left (viewed from the front) (A).

• Insert the desired tool (in the gure: a cross-recess bit) into the drill chuck. The diame- ter must be at least 1 mm, and at most 10 mm.

• Tighten the quick-action drill chuck by turning it clockwise to the right (viewed from the front) (B). To fasten the tool (e.g. a drill) rmly in the quick-action drill chuck, it should be inserted at least 1 cm deep (e.g. small drills). Drills with a larger diameter should be inserted more deeply into the quick-action drill chuck so that they can be fastened securely. c) Rotating Direction Switch (with Activation Lock) The rotating direction switch (4) can be used to switch the rotating direction between left and right. A double arrow on the rotating direction switch (on the left (A) and right (not illustrated) sides on the cordless screw driller) indicates the rotating direction: D D Rotating direction counter-clockwise to the left (viewed from behind), to re- lease screws G G Rotating direction clockwise to the right (viewed from behind) to tighten screws or drilling holes The rotating direction must be chosen depending on whether holes are to be drilled or whether a screw is to be turned in or out. In the middle position, the rotating direction switch will block the on/off switch and thus the motor in the cordless screw driller. At tool change, maintenance or cleaning, as well as during transport or sto- rage, the on/off switch must be blocked with the rotating direction switch (4) for reasons of safety. There is a danger of injury in case of accidental actuation of the on/off switch! Switch the rotating direction only when the drive of the cordless screw driller has stopped completely! Otherwise, the drive may be damaged.32 d) Slider for Two-Speed Gear At the top of the cordless screw driller, there is a slider (3) for selection of the two speeds of the integrated two-speed gear. A 1st gear, low speed, high torque B 2nd gear, high speed, low torque The slider for selection of the two gears must only be actuated when the drive of the cordless screw driller has stopped completely! Otherwise, the drive may be damaged. If one of the gears cannot be engaged when the slider is pushed, the drive sprockets may be placed badly towards each other. In this case, push the on/off switch slightly so that the sprockets will move a little way. Then you should be able to use the slider. e) On/Off Switch with Rotating Speed Control In order to operate the on/off switch (9), the rotating direction switch (4) must not be in the middle position (in this position, the on/off switch is blocked!). The rotating speed of the drive depends on how far the on/off switch (9) is pushed in (B). This permits smooth adjustment of the speed from standstill to maximum speed. When releasing (A) the on/off switch, the drive will be braked to the stop („rotating stop“). When the on/off switch (9) is pushed, the LED (10) will be activated automati- cally to permit lighting of the working position. If this LED ashes and the drive stops, the rechargeable battery is at and must be recharged. At tool change, maintenance or cleaning, as well as during transport or sto- rage, the on/off switch must be blocked with the rotating direction switch (4) for reasons of safety. There is a danger of injury in case of accidental actuation of the on/off switch!33 f) Setting Ring for Torque Turning the torque setting ring (2) permits setting of the desired torque from which on- wards the slip clutch will engage. This will prevent over-turning, e.g. when turning in a screw. The screw will end ush with the material surface when the torque setting is cho- sen accordingly. The torque setting ring has 19 different positions. In 18 of them, the slip clutch is active; in the position of the drill symbol, the slip clutch is deactivated (ideal for drilling holes). Low setting: Soft materials, small screws High setting: Hard materials, large screws Drill symbol Slip clutch off When turning out screws, a higher setting or the „drill“ setting (drill symbol) should be chosen. g) Belt Clip The cordless screw driller can be attached to a suitable belt using the belt clip during work breaks or for transport. If desired, the belt clip can be attached to the left (A) or right (B) side of the cordless screw driller. You can also remove the belt clip entirely. Never use the belt clip with high-quality and expensive belts. The metal edges of the belt clip may cause scratches or damage to the belt. h) LED When the on/off switch (9) is pushed, the LED (10) will be activated automatically to permit lighting of the working position. If this LED ashes and the drive stops, the rechargeable battery is at and must be re- charged.

i) Overload Protection

The motor will stop at overload. Switch off the cordless screw driller and wait until the device has cooled off sufciently before using it again. When the internal rechargeable battery temperature of +75 °C is exceeded, the electronic system will switch off the power tool. Switch off the cordless screw driller and wait until the device has cooled off sufciently before using it again.34
