a battery that is new or has not been used
for a longer period does not develop its full
capacity until after approximately charging

Changing direction of rotation #
when not properly set in leftright position switch A 2
cannot be activated
change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
Changing bits $
insert the bit as deep as possible in the chuck
do not use bits with a damaged shank
Torque control VariTorque %
limits the amount of output torque delivered by the
chuck clutch settings
when turning in a screw rst try VariTorque position
and increase until the desired depth has been reached
Holding and guiding the tool ^
while working always hold the tool at the
greycoloured grip areas
keep ventilation slots E 2 uncovered
do not apply too much pressure on the tool let the tool

APPLICATION ADVICE
Use the appropriate bits &
only use sharp bits
When drilling ferrous metals
predrill a smaller hole when a large hole is required
lubricate drill bit occasionally with oil
When turning in a screw atnear the cross cut end or an
edge of wood predrill a hole in order to avoid cracking of
the wood
For an optimal use of the tool a steady pressure on the
screw is required especially while removing
When screwdriving in hard wood one should predrill a
hole
Splinterfree drilling in wood *
Dustfree drilling in walls (
Dustfree drilling in ceilings )
Drilling in tiles without skidding ¡
