The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
 Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
To remove the battery 5 press the unlocking buttons 4 and
pull out the battery downwards. Do not exert any force.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Changing the Tool (see figure B)
 Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
The drill spindle is locked when the On/Off switch 7 is not
pressed. This makes quick, convenient and easy changing of
the tool in the drill chuck possible.
Open the keyless chuck 1 by turning in rotation direction ,
until the tool can be inserted. Insert the tool.
Firmly tighten the collar of the keyless chuck 1 by hand in ro-
tation direction .

Dust/Chip Extraction

 Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered car-
cinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
Operation

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery
Note: Use of batteries not suitable for the machine can lead to
malfunctions of or cause damage to the power tool.
Set the rotational direction switch 6 to the centre position in
order to avoid unintentional starting. Insert the charged bat-
tery 5 into the handle so that it can be felt to engage and faces
flush against the handle.
Reversing the rotational direction (see figure C)
The rotational direction switch 6 is used to reverse the rota-
tional direction of the machine. However, this is not possible
with the On/Off switch 7 actuated.

Right Rotation: For drilling and driving in screws, push the
rotational direction switch 6 left to the stop.
Left Rotation: For loosening and unscrewing screws and
nuts, press the rotational direction switch 6 through to the
right stop.
Setting the torque
With the torque presetting ring 2 the required torque setting
can be preselected in 20 steps. With the correct setting, the
insert tool is stopped as soon as the screw is screwed flush in-
to the material or when the adjusted torque is reached. The
safety clutch is deactivated in the "
drilling.
Select a higher setting or switch to the "
screwing screws.
Gear selection, mechanical
 Actuate the gear selector 3 only when the machine is at
a standstill.
Two speed ranges can be preselected with the gear selector
3.
Gear I:
Low speed range; for screwdriving or working with large drill-
ing diameter.
Gear II:
High speed range; for working with small drilling diameter.
If the gear selector 3 cannot be pushed through to the stop,
lightly turn the drill chuck with drill bit.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 7 and keep it
pressed.
The power light 9 lights up when the On/Off switch 7 is slightly
or completely pressed, and allows the work area to be illumi-
nated when lighting conditions are insufficient.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 7.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Adjusting the Speed
The speed of the switched-on power tool can be variably ad-
justed, depending on how far the On/Off switch 7 is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch 7 results in a low rotation-
al speed. Further pressure on the switch results in an increase
in speed.
Fully automatic spindle locking (Auto-lock)
When the On/Off switch 7 is not pressed, the drill spindle and
thus the tool holder are locked.
This enables screws to be screwed in, even when the battery
is empty and allows for the machine to be used as a screwdriv-
er.
Run-on Brake
When the On/Off switch 7 is released, the chuck brakes to a
stop, thus preventing the run-on of the tool.
When driving in screws, wait until the screw is screwed in
flush with the material and then release the On/Off switch 7.
By doing so, the head of the screw does not penetrate into the
material.
