1.Set the forward / reverse switch to the desired direction of rotation.

2.Set the torque selector switch to the desired torque.

7.6Reading the charge status LED display on Liತion batteries 7

NOTE

The charge status cannot be indicated while the power tool is in operation. Indication is given (LED 1 blinks) only when the battery is fully discharged or when it is too hot (temperature above 80°C).

The Li-ion battery features a charge status LED dis- play. The charge status is indicated by the LEDs on the battery during charging (please refer to the section “Li-ion battery charge status”). When the battery is at rest (not in use), its charge status is indicated by the four LEDs on the battery for a time of three seconds after pressing one of the battery release buttons.

1.Pull the battery out of the tool.

2.Fit the mounting plate into the guides provided.

3.Secure the belt hook with the two screws.
