Original instructions We, being solely responsible, hereby declare that this product conforms to the standards and directives specified on page 3. The cordless drill/driver is suitable for drilling, screwing and thread tapping as well as impact drilling (depending on the model). The user bears sole responsibility for damage caused by improper use. Generally accepted accident prevention regulations and the enclosed safety information must be observed. For your own protection and for the protection of your electrical tool, pay attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol! WARNING – Reading the operating instruc- tions will reduce the risk of injury. WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn- ings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep all safety instructions and information for future reference. Pass on your electrical tool only together with these documents. Wear ear protectors with impact drills (machines with the designation SB). Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool (depending on the model). Loss of control can cause personal injury. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. 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). Protect battery packs from water and moisture! Do not expose battery packs to naked flame! Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs! Do not open battery packs! Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs! 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 treatment immediately. Remove the battery pack from the machine before any adjustments, conversions or servicing are performed. Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the machine is switched off. 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. Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the help of clamping devices.

6.1 Assembly of additional handle (1)

(depending on the model) For safety reasons, always use the additional handle supplied. Open the clamping ring by turning the additional handle (1) anticlockwise. Push the additional handle onto the collar of the machine. Securely tighten the additional handle at the angle required for the application.

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 (13). Causes and remedies:

1. Battery pack almost flat (the electronics

prevent the battery pack from discharging totally and avoid irreparable damage). If one LED is flashing (9), the battery pack is almost flat. If necessary, press the (8) button and check the LEDs (9) to see the charge level. 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: If the battery pack feels very warm, the pack will cool more quickly in your "AIR COOLED" charger. 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 (13). Then continue working as normal. Try to prevent the machine from seizing.

Charge the battery pack before use (10). If performance diminishes, recharge the battery pack. The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and 40°C. "Li-Power" li-ion battery packs have a capacity and signal indicator: (9) - Press the (8) button, the LEDs indicate the charge level. - If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost flat and must be recharged.

7.3 Removing and inserting the battery pack

Removal: Press the battery pack release (7) button and pull the battery pack (10) forwards

Inserting: Slide in the battery pack (10) until it engages.

7.4 Setting the direction of rotation,

engaging the transporting safety device (switch-on lock) Set the rotation selector switch (6). See page 2. R = Clockwise setting L = Counter-clockwise setting 0 = Central position: transport lock setting (switch-on lock)

7.5 Selecting gear stage

Do not actuate the switch (5) unless the motor has stopped completely! If the switch (5) cannot be turned up to the stop, however, press the trigger (13) slightly so that the motor rotates slowly. It will then be possible to turn the switch (5) all the way up to the stop. Press the switch (5) (left or right of the machine). 1st gear setting (low speed), very high torque 2nd gear setting (high speed)

7.6 Setting the torque limit

Press the slide switch (4). 1... = Torque setting (for working with torque control) Note: The torque can be adjusted to different settings depending on the gear selected! In 2nd gear from 1.5 to 3.5 Nm and in 1st gear from 3.5 to 12.5 Nm. Note: Once the set torque has been reached, the screwdriver clutch emits a rattling noise and the machine is automatically switched off. = Drill setting - no torque control (for max. torque)

7.7 Drilling and impact drilling (depending

on the model) Press the slide switch (3). = Impact drilling Note: Always work at high speeds when impact drilling. = Normal drilling without impact

7.8 Activating the pulse function

(depending on the model) Do not work for long periods with pulse function switched on! (The motor can overheat.) Press the button (11) to activate or deactivate the pulse function.

The button (11) flashes when the pulse function is active. Note: If the machine is not used for approx. 5 minutes, the pulse function switches off auto- matically and the flashing button (11) goes out.

7.9 On/Off switch, setting the speed

Switching on, speed: press the trigger (13). The rotational speed can be changed at the trigger switch by pressing. Switching off: Release the trigger (13). Note: The noise that the machine makes when it switches off is due to the design (quick stop) and has no influence on the function or the service life of the machine.

For working on dimly lit areas. The LED lights (12) light up when the machine is switched on.

7.11 Opening, tensioning the keyless chuck
