Be sure that the battery pack is fully seated in the
charger, but do not force it. The red charging
indicator (11) will light. After approx. 1 hour, it will
switch off and the green status indicator (12) will
light. The battery pack is now fully charged and
the charger switches to maintenance mode.
• If the green indicator lights too soon the battery
pack may be too hot. Remove the battery pack
and allow it to cool before re-attempting to
charge.
• If the green indicator lights instantly, the battery
pack is fully uncharged.
• Leave the battery pack in the charger for several
minutes then re-insert.
• The battery pack can be removed at any time or
left in the charger indefinitely.
Inserting and removing the battery pack
• Insert the battery pack into the grip (7) until it
clicks in place.
• To remove the battery pack, press the two
release buttons (9) simultaneously and pull the
pack out of the grip (7).
Inserting and removing a bit (fig. A & B)
• Open the chuck by turning the sleeve (13)
counterclockwise and insert the bit shank.
• Tighten firmly by turning the sleeve clockwise
while holding the rear part of the chuck with one
hand.
• To remove the bit, proceed in reverse order.
Selecting the operating mode or adjusting the
torque (fig. C)
The collar of this tool has 5 positions for the
adjustment of the torque to suit the size of the screw

Always release the speed switch and
wait until the motor has come to a
complete standstill before changing the
direction of rotation.
Two gear selector (fig. E)
Your tool is fitted with a two gear selector (5) to vary
the speed/torque ratio.
1 low speed/high torque
(drilling large holes, driving large screws and
mixing paint)
2 high speed/low torque
(drilling smaller holes, drilling in wood)
For speed rates, refer to the technical data.
• Always push the two gear selector
completely forward or backward.
• Do not change gears at full speed or
during use.
Removing and fitting the chuck (fig. F & G)
• Open the chuck jaws as far as possible.
• Insert a screwdriver into the chuck and remove
the chuck retaining screw by turning clockwise
as shown in figure F.
• Tighten an Allen key into the chuck and strike it with
a hammer as shown in figure G. This will loosen the
chuck so that it can be unscrewed by hand.
• To refit the chuck, proceed in reverse order.
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Be aware of the location of pipework and

and may shorten tool life.
• To minimise stalling on break-through,
progressively reduce the drill point
pressure towards the end of the operation.
• Keep the motor running when pulling the
