Tips and tricks

Tip! How to do things correctly.
♦ Before operation, check whether the screw or
drill insert is correctly fitted, i.e. centred in the
drill chuck.
♦ Screw bits are labelled according to their di-
mensions and their shape. If you are uncertain,
always check first whether the bit fits tightly in
the screw head without any play.
Torque
♦ Smaller screws/bits can be damaged if you set
too high a torque or too high a speed.
Hard screw joints (in metal)
♦ Particularly high torques occur, e.g. in metal
screw joints made using socket wrench bits.
Select a low rotational speed.
Soft screw joints (e.g. in soft wood)
♦ Here, too, use a low speed to avoid damaging
the wood surface when it comes into contact
with the metal screw head. Use a countersink.
When drilling in wood, metal and other
materials, observe the following:
♦ Use a high speed for drill bits with a small
diameter and a low speed for drill bits with a
large diameter.
♦ Select a low speed for hard materials and a
high speed for soft materials.
♦ Secure or fasten the workpiece in a clamp or
vice (if possible).
♦ Mark the spot where you want to drill with a
punch or nail. Select a low rotational speed
when you start drilling.
♦ Pull the rotating drill bit out of the hole several
times to remove dust and chips and clear the
hole.

Drilling in metal
♦ Use a metal drill (HSS). For optimum results,
cool the drill bit with cutting oil. Metal drill bits
can also be used to drill into plastics. Pre-drill
with a 3 mm diameter drill bit and then increase
the size until the desired hole diameter is
achieved.
Drilling in wood
♦ Use a wood drill with a centring point: for
deep drilling use an auger bit and for large
drill diameters use a Forstner bit. Small screws
can be screwed directly into soft wood without
pre-drilling.

Maintenance and cleaning

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY! Always
switch the appliance off and remove
the battery before carrying out any
work on the appliance.
The cordless screwdriver is maintenance-free.
■ The appliance must always be kept clean, dry
and free from oil or grease.
■ Never allow liquids to get into the appliance.
■ Use a dry cloth to clean the housing. Never use
petrol, solvents or cleansers which can damage
plastic.
■ If a lithium-ion battery is to be stored for an
extended period, the charge level must be
checked regularly. The optimum charge level is
between 50% and 80%. The optimum storage
environment is cool and dry.
NOTE
► Replacement parts that are not listed (such as
batteries, switches) can be ordered via our
