Device description
The device consists of the following main components:
- Keyless drill chuck: For tool-free bit exchange.
- Torque selection: Adjustable ring for different materials.
- Gear selection: Switch between 2 speed levels.
- Rotation switch: Controls clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation and locks the trigger.
- Battery: Rechargeable Li-ion battery with level indication.
- LED work lamp: Illuminates the working area.
Start-up and charging
The battery is partially charged upon delivery. To charge:

- Slide the battery onto the quick charger upside down until it locks.
- Connect the charger to a mains socket. The red LED indicates charging (approx. 1 hour).
- When the green LED lights up, the battery is fully charged.
- Remove the battery by pressing the release button.
To insert the battery into the tool, slide it onto the device until it locks in place. Always set the rotation switch to the center (locked) position before inserting or removing the battery.
Operation
Tool change: Set the rotation switch to the center position. Turn the keyless drill chuck counter-clockwise to open, insert the bit, and turn clockwise to tighten.




Torque and gear selection: Use the torque ring to select the appropriate setting (low for soft materials, high for hard materials). Use the drilling symbol for drilling. Slide the gear selector to position 1 (up to 400 rpm) for screwing or position 2 (up to 1550 rpm) for drilling.
Switching on/off: The device has infinitely variable speed control. Press the on/off switch to start; the more firmly you press, the higher the speed. Release the switch to stop.
