This document is a user manual for the Erbauer 18V Brushless Combi Drill, model ERI691COM. It provides comprehensive information on the safe and effective use, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the device, along with details about its guarantee and environmental considerations.

The Erbauer 18V Brushless Combi Drill is a versatile power tool designed for driving in and loosening screws, as well as for drilling in wood, metal, and plastic. Its brushless motor technology contributes to efficiency and durability. The drill is powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion battery pack (ERI606BAT) and charged using a 48-minute charger (ERB607CHR).

Usage Features:

The drill incorporates several features to enhance usability and control:

• Keyless Chuck: Allows for quick and easy bit changes without the need for a separate chuck key. To insert a drill bit, rotate the front section of the chuck to open the jaws, place the bit between the jaws, and then rotate the front section in the opposite direction to firmly clamp the bit. Ensure the drill bit is centered.
• Torque Adjustment Ring: This ring allows the user to adjust the screw driving force. The torque is greater at higher settings and less at lower settings. The manual provides a guide for settings: 1-4 for small screws, 5-9 for screws into soft material, 10-14 for screws into soft and hard material, 15-19 for screws into hard wood, and 20-21 for larger screws. There are also specific settings for heavy drilling and drilling in masonry and concrete.
• Two-Speed Gear Control: The drill features a slide switch on top to select between LOW (Gear I) and HIGH (Gear II) speeds. Gear I is for low-speed applications like screw driving or working with large drilling diameters, offering greater power and torque. Gear II is for high-speed tasks with smaller drilling diameters, providing increased speed but less power and torque. It is crucial to allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the gear control to prevent damage.
• Forward/Reverse Rotation Control: This control, located near the trigger, allows the user to select the direction of rotation. Pushing it to the right removes screws or releases jammed drill bits, while pushing it to the left is for drilling and screw driving. Users are warned never to change the direction of rotation while the chuck is spinning.
• On/Off Switch (Variable Speed Trigger): Depressing the switch starts the drill, and releasing it stops it. This is a variable speed switch, meaning higher pressure on the trigger results in increased speed and torque. It also includes a brake function that stops the chuck immediately upon quick release.
• Switch Lock: The on/off switch can be locked in the OFF position by placing the rotation control in the center. This prevents accidental starting.
• Automatic Spindle Lock: This feature allows the drill to be used as a regular screwdriver when the tool is off. The chuck automatically locks, enabling manual tightening or loosening of screws, or continuing work if the battery is depleted.
• LED Light: An integrated LED light illuminates the work area, providing better visibility in dimly lit conditions. It turns on when the on/off switch is pressed and turns off when released.
• LED Battery Capacity Indicator: This indicator provides a visual representation of the battery's remaining charge.
• Belt Clip: A belt clip can be screwed onto the tool, allowing it to be conveniently hooked onto a belt or pocket.

Battery and Charging:

The battery pack is uncharged upon purchase and must be charged before first use. New batteries or those unused for prolonged periods may require several charge and discharge cycles to reach full capacity.

• Charging Procedure: Plug the charger into an outlet, then slide the battery pack into the charger. A green flashing light indicates charging is in progress. Once the light stops flashing and remains green, the battery is fully charged.
• Battery Temperature Protection: The charger has a safety feature that prevents charging if the battery temperature is outside the 0°C to 45°C range, indicated by a red flashing light.
• Over-Discharged Battery: If the battery is over-discharged, the charger's red light might illuminate directly. In this case, remove the battery from the charger, let it stand for a period, and then attempt to recharge.
• Temperature Dependent Overload Protection: The power tool is designed to prevent overload. If the load is too high or the battery temperature exceeds 75°C, the electronic control will switch off the tool until the temperature returns to the optimum range.
• Protection Against Deep Discharging: The Li-ion battery is protected by a "Discharging Protection System." If the battery is empty, the machine will switch off via a protective circuit, and the inserted tool will no longer rotate.

Maintenance Features:

The Erbauer 18V Brushless Combi Drill is designed for minimal maintenance.

• General Maintenance: The tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user-serviceable parts.
• Cleaning: Do not use water or chemical cleaners. Wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth.
• Storage: Store the power tool in a dry place. Keep motor ventilation slots clean and all working controls free of dust. Occasional sparks through ventilation slots are normal and do not indicate damage.
• Battery Storage: For prolonged storage, keep the battery at room temperature (19°C to 25°C) and charged to 30-50% capacity. Boost-charge annually to prevent over-discharge.
• Disposal: Waste electrical products and exhausted batteries should not be disposed of with household waste. They should be recycled at local collection or recycling points. Insulate battery terminals with adhesive tape before disposal.

Safety Warnings and Guidelines:

The manual emphasizes various safety precautions:

• General Power Tool Safety: Includes warnings about work area safety (clean, well-lit, no explosive atmospheres, keep bystanders away), electrical safety (matching plugs, avoiding body contact with grounded surfaces, no exposure to rain, proper cord handling, outdoor extension cords, RCD use in damp locations), and personal safety (stay alert, use PPE, prevent unintentional starting, remove adjusting keys, proper footing, dress properly, use dust extraction).
• Power Tool Use and Care: Advises against forcing the tool, using a damaged tool, maintaining sharp cutting tools, and using the tool for unintended operations.
• Battery Tool Use and Care: Emphasizes recharging only with the specified charger, using designated battery packs, keeping battery packs away from metal objects to prevent shorting, avoiding contact with ejected liquid from the battery, and proper battery handling (no piercing, soldering, exposure to water, disassembly, or high temperatures).
• Additional Safety Rules for Combi Drill: Specific warnings for impact drilling (ear protectors), using auxiliary handles, holding by insulated gripping surfaces, removing the battery before adjustments, and proper battery charging and storage temperatures.
• Construction Dust: Highlights the risks associated with silica, wood, and gypsum dusts, and provides methods to reduce exposure, such as using appropriate building product sizes, less powerful tools, different work methods, and approved dust masks with extraction facilities.
• Vibration and Noise Reduction: Recommends limiting operation time, using low-vibration/low-noise modes, wearing PPE, maintaining the product, using correct application tools, keeping a tight grip, and planning work schedules to spread high vibration tool use.
• Residual Risks: Acknowledges potential risks like health defects from vibration, injuries from broken tools or hidden objects, and flying objects. It also warns about electromagnetic fields interfering with medical implants.

The manual also includes a declaration of conformity, ensuring the product meets relevant EC directives and standards.
