USE

Let the tool work at its own
pace. Do not overload.

Charging the battery (fig. C)

The battery needs to be charged
before first use and whenever it
fails to produce sufficient power
on jobs that were easily done
before. When charging the
battery for the first time, or after
prolonged storage, it will only
accept an 80% charge. After
several charge and discharge
cycles, the battery will attain full
capacity. The battery may
become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not
indicate a problem.

Do not charge the battery at
ambient temperatures
below 4 °C or above 40 °C.
Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.

Before assembly, engage
the spindle lock as
described below.

ENGLISH

◆ To charge the battery, set the

tool to the straight position
and insert the charger plug
(10) into the connector (11).

◆ Plug in the charger. Switch on

at the mains.

◆ Leave the tool connected to the

charger for at least 12 hours.

The tool can be left connected to
the charger indefinitely.
The charger may hum and become
warm while charging; this is normal
and does not indicate a problem.

◆ Before using the tool, unplug

the charger and disconnect
the tool from the charger.

Do not use the tool while it
is connected to the charger.

Adjusting the handle (fig. D)

For optimum versatility, the
handle can be set to different
positions.

◆ Press the handle adjustment

button (4).

◆ Swivel the handle into the

desired position.

◆ Release the button.

KC9036 - Manual spindle lock
(fig. E)

The manual spindle lock allows
you to use the tool as a regular
screwdriver. You can give an
extra twist to firmly tighten a
screw or to loosen a very tight
screw.

◆ To activate the spindle lock,

turn the collar (2) to the
symbol. With the spindle lock
activated, the tool cannot be
switched on.

◆ To release the spindle lock,

turn the collar (2) to the
symbol.

KC9039 - Setting the torque
(fig. E)

This tool is fitted with a collar to
set the torque for tightening
screws.

Large screws and hard workpiece
materials require a higher torque
setting than small screws and soft
workpiece materials. The collar
has a wide range of settings to
suit your application.

◆ Turn the collar (2) to the

desired setting. If you do not
yet know the appropriate
setting, proceed as follows:

- Set the collar to the lowest

torque setting.

- Tighten the first screw.

- If the clutch ratchets before

the desired result is achieved,
increase the collar setting and
continue tightening the
screw. Repeat until you reach
the correct setting. Use this
setting for the remaining
screws.

Operating the tool (fig. F)

◆ Make sure that the spindle

lock is released.

◆ To tighten a screw or nut,

slide the on/off switch (1) to
the right and press it.

◆ To loosen a screw or nut,

slide the on/off switch (1) to
the left and press it.

◆ To switch the tool off, release

the on/off switch.

Hints for optimum use

◆ Always use the correct type

and size of screwdriver bit.

◆ If screws are difficult 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 firmly
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.

KC9036UK.PM65 25-06-2001, 14:4610

ENGLISH

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 clearance 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.
