PREPARATION FOR WORK:

■ Charging the battery (Fig. C)

The driver is supplied with a partially charged battery. Charge the battery fully before use. It is recommended that the first charging session lasts at least 1 hour.

Press the battery lock button (10), slide the battery out (8) (Fig. B) and insert into charger socket (14). Connect charger to an electrical socket 230 V \~50Hz.

■ Battery charging indicator

A green LED light indicates that the charger is connected to a power source.

A red light flashing with a frequency of about 1/s (1Hz) indicates that charging is in progress.

Once the battery is fully charged, the red light stops flashing and both, red and green, lights are lit continuously.

The charging current is lowered automatically as charging progresses. After approx. 1 hour the charging current is stabilised at a minimum level (trickle charging), which prevents battery overcharging and damage.

After charging, disconnect the charger and remove the battery.

The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any moment, without detriment to its life. Interrupting the charging process does not entail a risk of damaging the battery cells.

■ Auxiliary handle

The auxiliary handle (13) is attached by sliding the clamping ring over the chuck and securing it in place by turning the butterfly screw (3).

IN USE:

■ Turning on/off

The switch (12) has fluid rotation speed adjustment built-in.

Press the switch to activate the power tool. The rotation speed will increase the further the switch is pushed. To stop the power tool, release the switch.

■ Choosing rotation direction (Fig. E)

The driver can work with clockwise (right) or counter-clockwise (left) rotation.

- to select clockwise rotation, move the clockwise/counter-clockwise slider (5) to the right (looking from the back of the driver),

- to select counter-clockwise rotation, move the clockwise/counter-clockwise slider (5) to the left (looking from the back of the driver),

When the rotation direction switch is in the middle position, it is locked.

For drilling and driving screws in, clockwise operation should be selected. For taking out the drill bit, removing a stuck drill bit, or unscrewing screws, counter-clockwise operation should be selected.

■ Choosing torque (Fig. F)

The driver is equipped with a ring (2), which can be used for setting the torque when driving screws. The ring has 17 settings, from 1 to 16, and a drilling setting.

Using a given setting (from 1 - 16) means that the clutch is set to an assigned torque. This makes it possible to prevent a screw from being driven too far or being damaged. Different torques should be used for different screws and materials.

Always start with a low torque and increase gradually until the desired result is achieved.

For drilling in metal, wood or plastic, set the ring (2), so that the indicator

(15) points to symbol (16).

■ Shifting gear (Fig. A1)

The gear shifter (4) makes it possible to choose 2 rotation speed ranges.

Gear I: Used for driving and unscrewing screws.

Gear II: Used for drilling.

CAUTION: Do not change the position of the gear shifter (4) during tool operation as this may damage the gear box. Always allow the tool to come to a full stop before changing the setting of the gear shifter.

If the gear shifter does not move all the way, move the drive spindle slightly.

■ Changing the chuck (Fig. G)

1. Disconnect the battery (8) from the driver.
2. Open the chuck as much as possible (1)
3. Using a PH 2 (Philips No.2) screwdriver, rotate the fixing screw of the chuck clockwise (CAUTION! Left-thread).
4. Hold the lower chuck ring (the one closer to the driver body) and rotate the drill/driver chuck counter-clockwise (looking from the point of view of the chuck).

CAUTION: A jammed keyless chuck (1) can be released by inserting the short end of a hex key in the chuck and lightly tapping the longer arm of the key (see Fig.D).

1. To attach the chuck, screw it onto the drive spindle counter-clockwise (looking from the chuck side) and secure by screwing in the fixing screw counter-clockwise using a PH 2 screwdriver (No.2 Philips). For the chuck not to rotate during screwing in the fixing screw, the chuck should be held by the lower ring (the one closer to the drill/driver body).

■ Auxiliary components

• Both sides of the drill/driver body have in-built inserts (9), which make it possible to hold bits during work.
• The drill/driver is equipped with an auxiliary light (11) for the area of drilling/driving, which turns on after the appropriate switch (12) is pushed.

■ Installation and removing drills to/from the keyless chuck

CAUTION: Disconnect the battery from the driver or put the rotation direction switch (5) in the middle position to secure the machine from being started by mistake, which could in turn cause harm to the user.

To remove a drill (or a working bit) from the chuck hold the lower ring of the grip (the one close to the tool body) with one hand and rotate, with the other hand, the upper ring anticlockwise to enlarge the chuck opening. To install a drill (or a working bit) in the chuck hold the lower ring of the grip (the one close to the tool body) with one hand and rotate, with the other hand, the upper ring clockwise to achieve locking of the drill /bit in the chuck.

Drills (or other working bits) must be moved to the full depth of the chuck opening.

■ Drilling boreholes

1. To drill deep boreholes carry out your job gradually, drill to lower depths and remove the drill from the borehole from time to time to remove borings from the borehole.
2. To drill large diameter boreholes it is recommended to start with drilling a low-diameter borehole and then expand it to the desired diameter. It prevents the tool from overloads.
3. When the drilling bit is seized during working switch immediately the

tool off to prevent it from being damaged. Switch the rotations direction to the anticlockwise rotations and then remove the drilling bit from the borehole.

1. Keep the drill aligned with the axis of the borehole. The drilling bit must be positioned perpendicularly to the surface of the machined material. When the perpendicularity fails to be maintained the drilling bit may be seized or broken or, under extreme circumstances, the operator may be injured.

Rotation speed of the drill spindle is controlled by the force the power switch is depressed with.

■ Driving screws

It is recommended to drill the pilot borehole first. The pilot borehole must be a little deeper and with a less diameter than the outer diameter of the screw thread. When the screw is to be driven within the vicinity of the material edge the pilot borehole prevents from undesired chipping of the material.

If the screw is driven with abnormal difficulty the screw must be retracted and the pilot borehole diameter should be enlarged.

Anyway, when problem to drive the screw in persists (e.g. in case of hard wood grades) try to use a lubricating agent (e.g. liquid soap). Press the tool to the screw with sufficient force to avoid spontaneous rotation of the driving bit in the screw head. Use only those bits that accurately match the bit head. When the screw head is damaged further driving the screw in or out may prove infeasible.

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE:

The tool in principle does not require any special maintenance or service. The tool must be stored in a place that is not accessible to children and must be kept clean and protected from moisture and dust. The storage conditions should prevent potential mechanical damage and impact of the weather conditions.

Clean the tool pursuant to maintenance schedule. Remember to always disconnect the battery from the tool prior to starting the cleaning operations and unplug the charger from the outlet.

The charger may be cleaned exclusively with use of a dry cloth. Use also a clean cloth to clean regularly the ventilation openings of the tool to keep them patent. From time to time disassemble the grip and remove dust and other rubbish from the interior.

The tool housing must be cleaned with use of a moistened cloth small quantity of soap and then wiped dry. Do not use any detergents or solvents as they can damage parts made from plastics. After cleaning let the tool dry completely before it is used again.

TRANSPORTATION:

Store and transport the tool in its transport box to protect it against humidity, dust penetration and small objects; remember to protect its ventilation openings. Small objects after getting into the casing can result in damage to the motor.

PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT:

NOTE: The symbol nearby denotes that old equipment must never be thrown away together with other waste (with the penalty of a fine). Hazardous components of electronic equipment may adversely affect the natural environment and human health.

Each household may contribute to the recovery and reuse (recycling) of old machinery and equipment. Both in Poland and Europe a system for recovery of used equipment either exists or is being created. The system obliges all organizations that sell such equipment to collect the used machinery and appliances. Moreover, general purpose collecting points for such equipment are available.
