Device Description
The tool is designed for driving and loosening screws. Key components include the screwdriver bit, depth stop, adjusting sleeve for screw depth, rotational direction switch, battery release button, and worklight.
Assembly and Tool Change
To change the tool: pull the depth stop (4) forward, remove the screwdriver bit (1). If necessary, the universal bit holder (11) can also be removed and replaced. An auxiliary tool may be used if needed. Reattach the depth stop after changing the tool.
Operation
Setting Rotational Direction: Use the switch (5) to change direction. Right rotation for driving screws, left rotation for loosening. This cannot be changed while the on/off switch (10) is pressed.

Starting Operation: Press and hold the on/off switch (10). The worklight (9) illuminates the work area. Release the switch to stop.
Maintenance
Regularly clean the mount of the universal bit holder (11) and the screw depth stop (4) with compressed air to ensure trouble-free operation.
Safety
Always wear personal protective equipment, including eye protection. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Avoid unintentional starting by ensuring the switch is off before connecting the battery. Protect the battery from heat, fire, and moisture.
