Safety Information

• Always hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing operations where the fastener may contact hidden wiring.
• Use appropriate detection devices to locate hidden supply lines.
• Wear personal protective equipment, including ear protection and safety goggles.
• Be prepared for high reaction torque during operation.
• Do not use the tool in rain or damp environments.

Commissioning and Operation

The tool can be operated in manual (MAN) or automatic (AUTO) mode. In automatic mode, the tool starts automatically when pressure is applied to the screw with the bit, eliminating the need to press the on/off switch. The depth stop can be adjusted with a precision of approximately ±0.1 mm to ensure consistent screw depth.

Magazine Attachment

The optional magazine attachment allows for continuous screwdriving without pauses. It is compatible with collated screw belts. Ensure the first screw is correctly aligned in the screwing axis before starting. The magazine can be positioned in 30-degree increments for ergonomic handling.

Maintenance and Care

The tool is largely maintenance-free. Keep cooling air openings in the motor housing clean to ensure proper air circulation. Regularly clean the magazine attachment with compressed air and lubricate the carriage guide area if necessary. Always remove the battery pack before performing any maintenance or repair work.

Troubleshooting and Disposal

The tool features acoustic warning signals for battery depletion, machine overload, or overheating. If the tool shuts down, allow it to cool or replace the battery. Dispose of the device, accessories, and packaging in an environmentally friendly manner according to local regulations.
