Assembly
Fitting and removing a drill bit or a screwdriver
bit (fi g. B)
This tool uses screwdriver bits and drill bits with
a 6.35 mm (1/4") hexagonal shank.
• To fi t a bit, insert the bit shaft into the bit holder
(3).
• To remove a bit, pull the bit shaft out of the bit
holder (3).
Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not
overload.
• Before fi rst use, the battery must be charged for
at least 9 hours.
Charging the battery (fi g. C)
• Insert the charger plug (6) into the charger con-
nector (7).
• Plug in the charger (5).
• Leave the tool connected to the charger for
12 hours.
The charger may hum and become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate
a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient
temperatures below 10 °C or above 40 °C.
Selecting the direction of rotation (fi g. D)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward ro-
tation. For loosening screws or removing a jammed
drill bit, use reverse rotation.
• To select forward rotation, push the forward/re-
verse slider (2) to the forward position.
• To select reverse rotation, push the forward/re-
verse slider (2) to the rearward position.
• 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 on/off switch
(1).
• To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch
(1).
LED light
The LED light (4) is activated automatically when the
trigger is depressed. The LED will also illuminate
6
when the trigger is depressed and the forward/re-
verse slider (2) is in the locked off position (central

Hints for optimum use
Screwdriving
• Always use the correct type and size of screw-
driver bit.
• If screws are diffi cult to tighten, try applying
a small amount of washing liquid or soap as
a lubricant.
• Use the spindle lock to loosen very tight screws
or to fi rmly tighten screws.
• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in
a straight line with the screw.
• When screwing in wood, it is recommended to
drill a pilot hole with a depth equal to the length
of the screw. A pilot hole guides the screw and
prevents splintering or distortion of the wood.
For the optimum size of the pilot hole, refer to
the table below.
• When screwing in hardwood, also drill a clear-
ance hole with a depth equal to half the length of
the screw. For the optimum size of the clearance
hole, refer to the table below.
Screw size Pilot hole Ø
(softwood)
No. 6 (3.5 mm) 2.0 mm
No. 8 (4 mm) 2.5 mm
No. 10 (5 mm) 3.0 mm
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.
• Make an indentation using a centre punch at
the centre of the hole to be drilled in order to
improve accuracy.
