17. Turn the drill immediately off after the screw is faste-
ned. Overloading and damaging the battery or motor
can be prevented this way. Use the torque to loosen
the fastened screw.

before fitting or removing a screwdriver bit.
•Position the screwdriver bit shaft in the mounting
area of the hexagonal driving shaft.
•Push the screwdriver bit lightly into the hexagonal
driving shaft (Fig A. 1) of the tool.
INSERTING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY
Fig. D
•Ensure that the switch is locked to prevent the tool
from starting unexpectedly.
•Place the battery (6) at the bottom of the tool, as
shown in the figure. Push the battery until it snaps
into place.
•Push the release buttons (5) to remove the battery
from the bottom of the tool.
THE BATTERY LIFE SPAN
The battery life span is limited. If the run time of a loaded
battery shortens considerably, a new battery must be
purchased.
If the tool is used irregularly, then charge the battery at
least once every six months for an optimal result.
When the battery is used under extreme hot or cold cir-
cumstances the capacity will be less per charge.

11. Secure work.
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
tool.
12. Don’t overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
13. Maintain tools with care.
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords peri-
odically and, if damaged, have repaired by autho-
rized service facility. Inspect extension cords peri-
odically and replace if damaged. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
14. Disconnect tools.
When not in use, before servicing, and when chan-
ging accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it on.
16. Avoid unintentional starting.
Don’t carry plugged-in tools with finger on switch.
Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
17. Outdoor use extension cords.
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
18. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
19. Check damaged parts.
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or repla-
ced by an authorized service center unless other-
wise indicated elsewhere in this instructions
manual. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized center. Do not use tool if switch does
not turn it on and off.
20. Warning.
The use of any other accessory or attachment
other than recommended in this operation instruc-
tions or the catalog may present a risk of personal
injury.
21. Have your tool repaired by an expert.
This electric appliance is in accordance with the
relevant safety rules repairing of electric apliances
may be carried out only by experts otherwise it
may cause considerable danger for the user.
22. Connect the dust extraction device.
Whenever there are facilities for fitting a dust
extraction system, make sure it is connected and
used.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
If you should come into contact with any acid
from the accumulator block, wash the affected
parts with water immediately. If acid should
come into contact with the eyes, rinse them
immediately with water and seek medical advice
as soon as possible.
1. Before using both the accumulator block and the bat-
tery charger, make sure you have read and under-
stood the operating instructions and safety informa-
tion.
2. Only use the accumulator block with the battery
charger provided – using other chargers could be
dangerous.
3. Keep the accumulator block, tool and battery char-
ger away from damp and wet conditions.
4. Before using the battery charger, check all wires are
properly connected.
5. If any wires on the charger are damaged, do not use it
until these have been replaced.
6. When the charger is not in use it should not be plug-
ged in. When unplugging, do not pull the plug out by
the cable.
7. If the charger breaks down or suffers from other
technical problems, take it to a recognised dealership
to be checked before using it again. Any damaged
parts must be replaced.
8. Take care when handling the accumulator block, do
not drop it or knock it against other things.
9. Never attempt to repair the battery charger or accu-
mulator block yourself; this can be extremely dange-
rous. Repairs should always be carried out by a
recognised dealership.
10. Always unplug the charger before cleaning or carry-
ing out any other maintenance on it.
11. Do not attempt to charge the accumulator block in
temperatures of below 10 degrees or above 40
degrees centigrade.
12. The air vents on the battery charger must be kept
unblocked.
13. The accumulator block must not be short-circuited.
When an apparatus short-circuits, the strength of
the electric current is increased. This can cause the
apparatus to over heat, catch fire or even explode, causing
damage and also endangering the operator.
To avoid this;
1. Firstly do not connect any wires to the poles of
the accumulator block;
2. Ensure that no metal objects (nails, coins, paper-
clips) are caught in the opening of the accumula-
tor block;
3. do not expose the accumulator block to water or
rain.
14. If the accumulator block is broken or can no longer
be recharged it must be properly disposed off.
15. Never throw the accumulator block into water or a
fire – it may explode.
16. When drilling or screwing in walls, floors, etc., elec-
tricity lines can be hit. Hold the tool at the plastic
handle to prevent an electrical shock. Never hold the
tool at the chuck or another metal part.
