Starting Operation
Note: The use of batteries unsuitable for your power tool can lead to malfunctions or damage to the power tool.
Set the rotational direction switch (5) to the middle position to avoid unintentionally switching it on. Insert the charged battery (7) into the handle until you feel it engage and it is flush with the handle.
The rotational direction switch (5) is used to change the rotational direction of the power tool. However, this is not possible while the on/off switch (12) is being pressed.
Clockwise: Slide the rotational direction switch (5) on the left-hand side of the power tool towards the front of the power tool. The rotational direction switch (5) on the right-hand side of the power tool automatically slides backwards.
Anticlockwise: Slide the rotational direction switch (5) on the left-hand side of the power tool backwards (i.e. away from the front of the power tool). The rotational direction switch (5) on the right-hand side of the power tool automatically slides forwards.
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch (12).
The LED lights up when the on/off switch (12) is lightly or fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in poor lighting conditions.
Press the lock-on button (6) to lock the on/off switch (12) in this position.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (12); or, if the switch is locked with the lock-on button (6), briefly press the on/off switch (12) and then release it.
To screw in screws, place the screw on the screwdriver bit (1). The screw will be held in place by the magnetic retention force of the universal bit holder (14). Slide the rotational direction switch (5) on the left-hand side of the power tool towards the front of the power tool. Switch the power tool on and push the tip of the screw firmly against the workpiece. The screw is screwed into the workpiece until it reaches the set screw-in depth. The retractable depth stop (4) touches the workpiece and the drive is switched off; the universal bit holder (14) stops turning. Check the screw-in depth and readjust the retractable depth stop (4) if necessary.
The depth to which the screw head is screwed into the workpiece can be preset by turning the adjusting sleeve (3).
Turn the adjusting sleeve (3) to the position of your required screw-in depth. The number on the scale (visible on the edge of the adjusting sleeve (3)) can be used as a guide for your required screw-in depth.
Turning the adjusting sleeve (3) clockwise increases the screw-in depth; turning it anticlockwise decreases the screw-in depth. Turning the adjusting sleeve (3) beyond the MAX position will remove it from the stop sleeve (2) completely.
The best way to determine the setting you require is to drive in some test screws.
To activate PowerSAVE mode, briefly press the PowerSAVE on/off button (9). The (11) PowerSAVE LED indicator will light up. Then briefly press the on/off switch (12) and lock it in place by pressing the lock-on button (6). The motor remains deactivated/disconnected, even if the on/off switch (12) is pressed. Now push the power tool gently into the workpiece to activate the motor.
The PowerSAVE LED indicator (11) will go out if the power tool is unused for 30 minutes. To activate PowerSAVE mode again, disengage the lock by briefly pressing the on/off switch (12). Then press the on/off switch (12) again and lock it in place with the lock-on button (6). The PowerSAVE LED indicator (11) will light up again.
To loosen or unscrew screws, line up the arrows on the adjusting sleeve (3) and on the gearbox of the power tool so that they are opposite one another. Pull the adjusting sleeve (3) backwards until it audibly clicks into place on the gearbox without any gaps. The screwdriver bit (1) is now clearly visible. The power tool is ready to loosen or unscrew screws.
Slide the rotational direction switch (5) on the left-hand side of the power tool backwards (i.e. away from the front of the power tool). The rotational direction switch (5) on the right-hand side of the power tool automatically slides forwards. Switch on the power tool.
Note: Screws can also be loosened by removing the retractable depth stop (4) completely.
The retractable depth stop (4) cannot be pulled back when the adjusting sleeve (3) is in or above the MAX position.
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be overloaded. In the event of heaving loading or the temperature rising/falling outside the permitted battery temperature range, the speed will be reduced. The power tool will not run at full speed again until the permitted battery temperature has been reached.
