Use Charging the battery The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily done before. A new battery, or a battery that has not been used for an extended period of time, achieves full performance only after approx. 5 charging and discharging cycles. The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.6 ENGLISH Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging temperature: approx. 24 °C. Charger with charging base (fig. E) ◆ To charge the battery (5), remove it from the tool and insert it into the charging base (8). The battery will only fit into the charging base in one way. Do not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the charging base. ◆ Plug in the charger. After normal use, a charging time of 3 hours will provide sufficient power for most applications. However, further charging for up to 6 hours could significantly increase the use time, depending on the battery and charging conditions. ◆ Remove the battery from the charger. Charger without charging base (fig. F) ◆ To charge the battery, make sure that it is fitted on the drill. ◆ Insert the charger plug (10) into the connector (9). ◆ Plug in the charger. Switch on at the mains. After normal use, a charging time of 3 hours will provide sufficient power for most applications. However, further charging for up to 6 hours could significantly increase the use time, depending on the battery and charging conditions. ◆ Disconnect the tool from the charger. Warning! Do not use the tool while it is connected to the charger. Selecting the direction of rotation (fig. A) For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward (clockwise) rotation. For loosening screws or removing a jammed drill bit, use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation. ◆ To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse slider (2) to the left. ◆ To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse slider to the right. ◆ To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider into the centre position. Selecting the operating mode or torque (fig. G) This tool is fitted with a collar to select the operating mode and to set the torque for tightening screws. Large screws and hard workpiece materials require a higher torque setting than small screws and soft workpiece materials. The collar has a wide range of settings to suit your application. ◆ For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar (3) to the drilling position by aligning the symbol

with the marking (15). ◆ For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as follows: ◆ Set the collar (3) to the lowest torque setting. ◆ Tighten the first screw. ◆ If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is achieved, increase the collar setting and continue tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws. Switching on and off Variable speed switch ◆ To switch the tool on, press the variable speed switch (1). The tool speed depends on how far you press the switch. ◆ To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch. Two-speed on/off switch ◆ To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1). When slightly pressing the switch, the tool will run at low speed. When pressing the switch further, the tool will run at high speed. ◆ To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch. Hints for optimum use Drilling ◆ Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the drill bit. ◆ Just before the drill tip breaks through the other side of the workpiece, decrease pressure on the tool. ◆ Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that may splinter. ◆ Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in wood. ◆ Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal. ◆ Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than cast iron and brass. ◆ Make an indentation using a centre punch at the centre of the hole to be drilled in order to improve accuracy. Screwdriving ◆ Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit. ◆ If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant. ◆ Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line with the screw.
