1. Safety Regulations

Danger! Observe safety precautions to avoid injuries and damage. Read operating instructions and safety regulations carefully. Keep this manual accessible. Hand over instructions with the equipment if transferring ownership. Einhell is not liable for damage or accidents due to failure to follow instructions.

The corresponding safety information is in an enclosed booklet.

Danger! Read all safety regulations and instructions. Errors may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury. Keep all safety regulations and instructions safe for future use.

3. Proper Use

The cordless impact drill/driver is designed for tightening/undoing screws, drilling in wood, metal, and plastic, and impact drilling in stone, using appropriate bits.

Use the equipment only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is misuse. The user/operator is liable for any damage or injuries resulting from misuse. This equipment is not designed for commercial, trade, or industrial applications; such use voids the warranty.

4. Technical Data

The maximum screw diameter indicates the maximum diameter of the screw that can be screwed into wood. This can vary depending on the wood type.

Sound and Vibration

Values measured according to EN 60745.

• LpA sound pressure level: 80.91 dB(A) (KPA uncertainty: 3 dB)
• LWA sound power level: 91.91 dB(A) (KWA uncertainty: 3 dB)

Wear ear-muffs. ? The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing.

Total vibration values (vector sum of three directions) determined according to EN 60745:

• Drilling in metal: Vibration emission value ah ≤ 2.5 m/s² (K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s²)
• Screwing without hammer action: Vibration emission value ah ≤ 2.5 m/s² (K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s²)
• Impact drilling in concrete: Vibration emission value ah,ID = 9.529 m/s² (Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)

The specified vibration value was established according to a standardized testing method. It may change based on usage and may exceed specified values in exceptional circumstances. This value can be used to compare equipment with other power tools and for initial assessment of harmful effects.

Keep noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum:

• Use only appliances in perfect working order.
• Service and clean regularly.
• Adapt working style to the appliance.
• Do not overload.
• Have serviced when necessary.
• Switch off when not in use.
• Wear protective gloves. ?

Caution! Residual Risks

Even with correct use, residual risks exist:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used. ?
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used. ?
3. Health damage from hand-arm vibrations if used for prolonged periods or not properly guided/maintained.

Limit operating time, considering all cycle stages (switched off and load-free times).

5. Before Starting the Equipment

Before using the cordless screwdriver for the first time:

1. Charge the battery pack with the supplied charger.
2. Use only sharp drill bits and screwdriver bits suitable for the purpose and in faultless condition.
3. Always check for concealed electric cables and gas/water pipes when drilling and screwing in walls.

6. Operation

6.1 Charging the LI battery pack (Fig. 2-3)

Diagrams show battery removal and charging.

1. Remove the battery pack (5) by pressing the pushlock buttons (8).
2. Check that your mains voltage matches the charger's rating plate. Plug the charger (6) into the mains socket outlet; the green LED will flash.
3. Push the battery pack onto the battery charger.

Refer to Section 10 "Charger indicator" for LED explanations.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

• Voltage at the socket-outlet.
• Proper contact at the charging contacts.

If charging still fails, return the charger and battery pack to the Customer Service Department.

To ensure long service life, recharge the battery pack promptly when power drops.

6.2 Torque setting (Fig. 4 / Item 1)

Important! Set the torque with the setting ring only when the tool is at a standstill. The cordless screwdriver has a mechanical torque selector.

The torque for a screw size is selected with the set-collar (1). Correct torque depends on:

• Type and hardness of material.
• Type and length of screws used.
• Requirements of the screwed joint.

The clutch disengages with a grating sound when the set torque is reached.

6.3 Selector switch for driving/drilling/impact drilling (Fig. 4/Item 11)

• Driving: Set switch (11) to "Screw". Torque adjusted via setting (1).
• Drilling: Set switch (11) to "Bit". Slip coupling is off; maximum torque is available regardless of setting (1).
• Impact drilling: Set switch (11) to "Hammer". Slip coupling is off; maximum torque is available regardless of setting (1).

Important! Change torque setting (1) and selector switch (11) only when the equipment is at a standstill.

6.4 Forward/Reverse switch (Fig. 5 / Item 3)

This switch selects rotation direction (clockwise/anticlockwise) and locks the tool to prevent accidental activation. Change direction only when the tool is stopped to avoid gearing damage. The ON/OFF switch is blocked when the slide switch is in the center position.

6.5 On/Off switch (Fig. 5 / Item 4)

Provides infinitely variable speed control. The further the switch is pressed, the higher the speed.

6.6 Changing over from 1st gear to 2nd gear (Fig. 4 / Item 7)

Use the selector switch to work at higher or lower speeds. Change gears only when the tool has stopped to avoid damaging the gear unit.

6.7 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 6 – Item 2)

Press switch (a) on the battery pack. The indicator (2) shows charge status with 3 LEDs:

• All 3 LEDs lit: Battery fully charged.
• 2 or 1 LED lit: Adequate remaining charge.
• 1 LED blinks: Battery empty, recharge.
• All LEDs blink: Battery pack exhausted and defective. Do not use or charge.

6.8 LED lamp (Fig. 6 / Item 10)

The LED lamp (10) illuminates the work area in poor lighting conditions. It activates automatically when the ON/OFF switch (4) is pressed.

6.9 Changing the tool (Fig. 7)

Important. Set the changeover switch (3) to the center position for any work on the cordless screwdriver.

A diagram illustrates changing the tool.

• The cordless screwdriver has a quick-action chuck (9) with automatic spindle stop.
• Open the chuck (9). The opening (a) must be large enough for the tool.
• Select the suitable tool and push it as far as possible into the chuck opening (a).
• Tighten the chuck (9) and check that the tool is secure.

6.10 Screwdriving

Use self-centering screws (e.g., Torx, recessed head) for reliable working. Use a bit matching the screw's shape and size. Set torque according to screw size.

The clutch disengages with a grating sound when the set torque is reached.

7. Cleaning, Maintenance and Ordering of Spare Parts

Danger! Always pull out the battery pack before cleaning.

7.1 Cleaning

• Keep safety devices, air vents, and motor housing free of dirt and dust. Wipe with a clean cloth or blow with compressed air at low pressure.
• Clean the device immediately after each use.
• Clean regularly with a moist cloth and mild soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents, as they can attack plastic parts. Ensure no water enters the device to prevent electric shock risk.

7.2 Maintenance

No internal parts require additional maintenance.

7.3 Ordering Spare Parts and Accessories

When ordering spare parts, provide:

• Type of unit
• Article number of the unit
