2. Safety Instructions

Always observe the following safety precautions when using the cordless screwdriver to prevent electric shock, fire, and serious injury.

• Read the Manual: Familiarize yourself with all instructions and warnings before operating the tool.
• Eye Protection: Always wear appropriate eye protection, such as safety goggles, to protect against flying debris.
• Work Area: Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Environment: Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Children and Bystanders: Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Proper Bit Selection: Use the correct bit or attachment for the specific task. Incorrect accessories can lead to damage or injury.
• Disconnect Power: Always disconnect the tool from its power source (e.g., remove the battery or unplug the charging cable) before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
• Secure Workpiece: Secure the workpiece with clamps or a vise. Holding it by hand is unstable and can lead to loss of control.
• Avoid Overreaching: Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach.
• Store Safely: Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

5. Setup

5.1 Initial Charging

1. Connect the USB charging cable to the charging port on the screwdriver.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a suitable USB power adapter (not included) or a powered USB port.
3. Allow the screwdriver to charge for approximately 60 minutes for a full charge. The battery indicator LEDs will show the charging status.
4. Disconnect the charging cable once fully charged.

5.2 Attaching Bits and Attachments

1. Ensure the screwdriver is turned off and disconnected from any charging source.
2. To insert a screwdriver bit: Push the desired bit firmly into the magnetic bit holder until it clicks into place.
3. To attach an accessory head (torque, eccentric, angle, cutting): Align the accessory head with the screwdriver's main shaft and push it on until it locks securely. Ensure it is fully seated to prevent detachment during operation.
4. To remove a bit or attachment: Pull the bit or attachment straight out from the holder/shaft.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On/Off and Rotation Direction

• The screwdriver is activated by pressing the trigger switch.
• To select the rotation direction (forward for screwing, reverse for unscrewing), use the direction selector switch, typically located near the trigger. An LED indicator will confirm the selected direction.
• Release the trigger switch to turn off the screwdriver.

6.2 Using the Attachments

• Torque Attachment: Adjust the torque setting ring to the desired level before screwing. This prevents overtightening and damage to delicate materials or screws.
• Eccentric Attachment: Use this attachment when working very close to an edge or in tight corners where the main body of the screwdriver would obstruct access.
• Angle Attachment: Ideal for reaching screws located at a 90-degree angle to the tool's body, such as inside cabinets or furniture.
• Cutting Attachment: Ensure the material to be cut is soft and within the attachment's capabilities. Guide the tool steadily along the cutting line.

6.3 Manual Screwing

The automatic spindle lock allows for manual tightening or loosening of screws. If the motor stops or you need extra force, you can manually turn the screwdriver to complete the task.

6.4 LED Work Light

The integrated LED work light automatically illuminates when the trigger is pressed, providing visibility in poorly lit work areas.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• Always disconnect the tool from the charging cable before cleaning.
• Wipe the tool's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Parkside PAS D5 screwdriver, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • Ensure the direction selector switch is not in the neutral (locked) position.
• Reduced Performance/Weak Screwing:
  • The battery might be low. Recharge the tool.
  • The bit might be worn or incorrect for the screw type. Replace with a new, appropriate bit.
  • For the torque attachment, ensure the torque setting is appropriate for the task.
• Bit or Attachment Falls Out:
  • Ensure the bit or attachment is fully inserted and locked into place.
  • Inspect the bit holder or attachment mechanism for damage.
• Overheating:
  • Allow the tool to cool down.
  • Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked.
