This cordless drill/screwdriver is designed for tightening and undoing screws, as well as for drilling in wood, metal, and plastic. Before using the tool, ensure the battery is charged and the correct tool (drill bit or screwdriver bit) is inserted into the chuck.
Description of the tool
The tool features a torque selector, battery capacity indicator, changeover switch for rotation direction, ON/OFF switch, gear selector (1st/2nd gear), quick-change drill chuck, LED lamp, and an anti-kickback system.
Operation
Charging the battery
Remove the battery pack from the handle by pressing the pushlock buttons. Check that your mains voltage matches the charger's rating. Insert the charger plug into the socket; the green LED will flash. Push the battery pack onto the charger. Refer to the charger indicator table in the manual for status meanings.
Torque setting
Use the torque selector ring to set the torque for a specific screw size. The clutch disengages with a grating sound when the set torque is reached. For drilling, move the selector to the 'Drill' setting, which disables the slip clutch for maximum torque.
Drilling and Screwdriving
Use the gear selector to choose between high or low speed. Always change gears only when the tool is at a standstill. Use the forward/reverse switch to select the direction of rotation. The LED lamp illuminates the work area automatically when the ON/OFF switch is pressed.
Anti-Kickback System
The tool is equipped with an anti-kickback system that switches off the tool in the event of sudden rotation caused by jamming. If active, the green status LED shines steadily. If triggered, the LED flashes. You can temporarily deactivate it using the anti-kickback button.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work. Keep all safety devices, air vents, and the motor housing free of dirt and dust. Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
Storage
Store the equipment and accessories in a dark, dry, and frost-free place, out of reach of children. The ideal storage temperature is between 5 and 30 °C.
