(Original instructions)
• If the replaced battery charges correctly,
the original battery is defective and
should be returned to a service centre
for recycling.
• If the new battery gives the same
indication as the original battery, take
the charger to be tested at an authorised
services centre.
Note: It may take as long as 60 minutes to
determine that the battery is defective. If
the battery is too hot or too cold, the LED
will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one
flash at each speed and repeat.
Selecting the torque or drill position
(fig. D)
This tool is fitted with a collar to set the
torque for tightening screws.
• For drilling, set the collar (8) to the
drilling position by aligning the symbol
with the marking (13).
• For screwdriving, set the collar to the
desired setting.
• If you do not yet know the appropriate
setting, proceed as follows:
- Set the collar (8) to position 1.
- Tighten the first screw.
- If the clutch ratchets before the desired
result is achieved, increase the collar
setting and continue tightening the
screw. Repeat until you reach the correct
setting.
Selecting the direction of rotation (fig. E)
For drilling and tightening screws, use
forward (clockwise) rotation. For loosening
screws or removing a jammed drill bit, use
reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
• To select forward rotation, push the
forward/reverse slider (2) to the left.
• To select reverse rotation, push the
forward/reverse slider to the right.
• To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse
slider into the centre position.
Drilling/screwdriving
• Select forward or reverse rotation using
the forward/reverse slider (2).
• To switch the tool on, press the variable
speed switch (1). The tool speed depends
on how far you press the switch.
• To switch the tool off, release the variable
speed switch.
LED work light
The LED work light (10) is activated
automatically when the trigger is depressed.
The LED work light will illuminate when the
trigger is partially depressed, before the unit
begins running.
Hints for optimum use
Drilling
• Always apply a light pressure in a straight
line with the drill bit.
• Just before the drill tip breaks through
the other side of the workpiece, decrease
pressure on the tool.
• Use a block of wood to back up
workpieces that may splinter.
• Use spade bits when drilling large
diameter holes in wood.
• Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
• Use masonry bits when drilling in soft
masonry.
• Use a lubricant when drilling metals other
than cast iron and brass.
• Make an indentation using a centre punch
at the centre of the hole to be drilled in
order to improve accuracy.
Screwdriving
• Always use the correct type and size of
screwdriver bit.
• If screws are difficult to tighten, try
applying a small amount of washing liquid
or soap as a lubricant.
• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit
in a straight line with the screw.
