Noise / Vibration Data:

Measured values for noise are determined in accordance with EN 60745. The A-weighted noise level of the electrical power tool are typically: Sound pressure level LpA: 67dB(A), Sound power level LWA: 78 dB(A), Uncertainty K: 3 dB(A).

Wear ear protection!

Total vibration (vector sum of three directions) is calculated in accordance with EN 60745:

• Drilling into metal: Vibration emission value ah,D < 2.5 m/s², uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²
• Screwdriving without impact: Vibration emission value ah < 2.5 m/s², uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²

Note: The vibration level specified in these instructions was measured in accordance with an EN 60745 standardised measurement process and can be used to compare equipment. The vibration emission value specified can also serve as a preliminary assessment of the exposure. The vibration level will change according to the application of the electrical tool and may exceed the specified value. Regularly using the tool may make it easy to underestimate the vibration.

Try to keep vibration loads as low as possible by wearing gloves and limiting working time.

5. Insert the battery pack (6) into the device.

Reading Off the Battery Status

The battery LED (2) indicates the status when the appliance is switched on:

• RED / ORANGE / GREEN = maximum charge / power
• RED / ORANGE = medium-level charge / power
• RED = weak charge - recharge battery

Changing Tools

Your cordless drill/screwdriver has a fully automatic spindle lock (◼ LOCK SPINDLE). When the motor stops, the drive shaft locks, allowing the chuck (10) to be opened by turning. After inserting and securing the bit, you can work immediately. The spindle lock releases automatically when the motor starts.

2 Gear Drive

Note: Change the gear selector switch (1) only when the device is stopped.

• 1st Gear (Gear selector switch 1 in Position: 1): Up to approx. 350 rpm and high torque. Suitable for all screwing tasks.
• 2nd Gear (Gear selector switch 1 in Position: 2): Up to approx. 1300 rpm. Suitable for drilling tasks.

Torque Control / Drill Step

Use the torque control/drill step (9) to adjust torque. When the set torque is reached, the clutch disengages the drive. Select a low setting for small screws/soft material. Select a high setting for large screws/hard material or for screw extraction. For drilling, set the torque control/drill step to the drill position and push the gear selector switch (1) to position 2.

Tips and Tricks

When Screwing into Wood, Metal and Other Materials:

• Screw bits are marked with dimensions and shape. Check bit fit in the screw head for play.
• Ensure the screw or drill bit is properly fitted and centered in the chuck.
• Avoid excessive torque or speed for small screws and bits, as they can be damaged.
• For hard screw beds (e.g., metal screws), select a lower rotation speed.
• For soft screw beds (wood), use a low speed to avoid damaging the surface. Use a countersinker if needed.

When Drilling into Wood, Metal and Other Materials:

• Use high speed for small diameter drill bits and low speed for large diameter drill bits.
• Use low speed for hard materials and high speed for soft materials.
• Secure the workpiece in a clamp or vice if possible.
• Mark the hole position with a centre punch or nail and use a low speed for pilot drilling.
• Periodically withdraw the rotating drill bit to clear swarf or dust and ventilate the hole.
• Drilling in Metal: Use HSS metal drill bits. Cool the bit with oil for best results. Metal bits can also drill plastic.
• Drilling in Wood: Use a wood drill with a centre point. Small screws in soft wood may not require pre-drilling.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect the mains plug and remove the battery pack (6) before any cleaning or maintenance.

The cordless drill/screwdriver is maintenance-free. Keep the device clean, dry, and free of oil or grease. Clean immediately after use. Do not allow liquids to enter the device. Use a cloth to clean the housing. Never use petrol, solvents, or cleaning agents that attack plastic.
