Before first use / Preparing the tool for use

After you have inserted the required bit and fixed it

in place by turning the chuck , you can immedi- ately continue working. The spindle lock releases itself automatically when the motor is started (by operation of the ON / OFF switch 6 ).

2 Gear Drive

Note: Move the gear selector switch 1 only after the device has come to a standstill.

In the first gear (Gear selector switch 1 in Position: 1)

you achieve a speed of approx. 400 rpm and a high torque. This setting is suitable for all screwing tasks.

In the second gear (Gear selector switch 1 in Position: 2)

It achieves a speed of up to approx. 1300 rpm, for the carrying out of drilling tasks.

Torque control / drill step

You can use the torque control / drill step 11 to ad- just the torque. When the value of the torque setting is reached, the clutch disengages the drive connection to the chuck.

Select a low setting for small screws, soft work material.

Select a high setting for large screws, hard work materials and for the extraction of screws. For drilling work, select the drill setting by putting the torque control / drill setting into the position. For drilling tasks, also push the gear selector switch 1 to the front (Position: 2).

Preparing the tool for use

Changing the direction of rotation / unlocking the device

Unlock the device and change the direction of rota- tion by pressing the rotational direction switch 5 to the right or to the left.

Switching ON / OFF

Switching on:

To start the appliance squeeze on the ON / OFF switch 6 and then keep it pressed down. The light 10 comes on with a slightly or fully pressed ON / OFF switch 6 and illuminates

the working area in poor lighting conditions.

Switching off:

To stop the appliance, release the ON / OFF switch 6 .

Changing the rotational speed:

The ON / OFF switch 6 has a variable speed control. Light pressure on the ON / OFF switch 6 causes the device to operate at a low speed. In- creasing the pressure increases the speed.

Activating the lock

Press the rotational direction switch 5 into the middle position. The ON / OFF switch 6 is now blocked.

Tips and Tricks

When screwing into wood, metal and other materials:

Screw bits are designated with their dimensions and their shape. If you are unsure, always try the particular screw bit out to see whether it sits in the screw head without any free play. Before you use the appliance, check to see that the screw or drill bit is properly fitted, i.e. located centrally in the chuck.

Torque:

Smaller screws and bits in particular can be easily damaged if you adjust the appliance with too high a torque and/or rotation speed.

Hard screw bed:

Particularly high torques can occur, for example with metal screws tightened by socket tool bits. Select a lower rotation speed.
