BAS 14 4 - Drill EINHELL - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL BAS 14 4 EINHELL

1. The removable Ni-Cd battery

pack supplied with your bat- tery-powered drill/screwdriver has to be charged before you use the tool for the first time.

2. Use the supplied battery char-

ger to charge the battery pack. It takes a maximum of 1 hour to charge an empty battery. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge any other tools or appliances.

3. The battery pack reaches its

maximum capacity after approx. five discharge/charge cycles.

4. Ni-Cd batteries will also

discharge when they are not in use. It is recommended, there- fore, to charge the batteries regularly.

5. Please note the data quoted on

the rating plate of the battery charger. Operate the charger only from the same mains vol- tage as that quoted on the rating plate.

6. In periods of heavy duty the

battery pack will grow warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before starting to charge it. Safety regulations:

1. Protect your battery-powered

drill/screwdriverand charger from the damp and rain.

2. Keep the charger and battery-

powered drill/screwdriver safe from children.

3. Use only sharp drill bits and

undamaged, properly fitting screwdriver bits.

4. Wear suitable working clothes

5. Never use the battery-powered

drill/screwdriver and charger in the vicinity of vapours and combustible liquids.

6. Look for concealed electric

cables, gas pipes and water pipes before drilling and scr- ewdriving in walls.

7. Never throw old batteries into

an open fire. Risk of explosion!

8. Avoid contact with leaky batte-

ries. Should contact arise nevertheless, wash the affec- ted area of skin immediately

Anleitung BAS 14,4 Ectram 06.03.2003 16:43 Uhr Seite 9with soap and water. If bat- tery acid gets in your eye, rinse the eye with clear water for at least 10 minutes and consult a doctor immediately.

9. Protect the charger and its

cable from damage and sharp edges. Damaged cables are to be replaced immediately by an electrician.

10. Examine your tool for any signs

of damage. Have repairs car- ried out only by an electrician.

11. Make sure that the contacts of

the Ni-Cd battery pack do not touch other metallic objects, e.g. nails and screws. Risk of short-circuiting! Putting into operation: Loading the Ni-Cd battery pack

1. Check that your mains voltage

is the same as that quoted on the rating plate. Insert the char- ger in a socket-outlet.

2. Pull the battery pack out of the

handle (Figure 5) by depres- sing the clips on the side.

3. nsert the battery pack in the

charger. The red light comes as a sign that the battery pack is being charged. The green LED comes on to signal that the charging is completed. It takes 1 hour to charge an empty bat- tery. The temperature of the battery may rise slightly during the charging operation. This is normal. If the battery pack fails to become charged, please check whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet whether there is proper contac- tat the charging contacts on the charger. If the battery still fails to become charged, please return the charger the battery pack to our Customer Service Department. Timely recharging of the Ni-Cd bat- tery pack is recommended in the interest of long battery life. Recharging is always necessary when you notice that the power of the battery-powered drill/screwdri- ver is decreasing. Never allow the battery pack to discharge completely. This will result in damage to the Ni-Cd bat- tery pack! Adjusting the torque (Figure 1) The Einhell battery-powered drill/screwdriver is equipped with a 17-step mechanical torque adjust- ment facility. The torque for a speci- fic size of screw is selected with the set-collar (Figure 1). The cor-

Anleitung BAS 14,4 Ectram 06.03.2003 16:43 Uhr Seite 10rect torque depends on several fac- tors: on the type and hardness of material in question on the type and length screws used on the requirements needing to be met by the screwed joint. The clutch disengages with a gra- ting sound to indicate when the set torque is reached. Drilling For drilling purposes, move the set- collar to the last step „Drill“ (Figure 1). In this setting the slip clutch is inactive. The maximum torque is available in drilling mode. Forward/Reverse switch (Figure 3) With the slide switch above the On/Off switch you can select the direction of rotation of the battery- powered drill/screwdriver and secu- re it against being switched on accidentally. You can choose bet- ween clockwise and anticlockwise rotation. To avoid causing damage to the gearing it is advisable to change the direction of rotation only when the tool is at a standstill. The On/Off switch is blocked when the slide switch is in centre positi- on. On/Off switch (Figure 4) Infinitely variable speed control is possible with the On/Off switch. The further you press the switch, the higher the speed of the battery- powered drill/screwdriver. Screwdriving We recommend using self-cente- ring screws (e.g. Torx screws, recessed head screws) designed for reliable working. Be sure to use a bit that matches the screw in shape and size. Set the torque, as described elsewhere in these ope- rating instructions, to suit the size of screw.
