Important notes:

It is imperative to read these notes
before putting your battery-powe­red drill/screwdriver into operation:

1. The removable Ni-Cd battery

pack supplied with your bat­tery-powered drill/screwdriver
has to be charged before you
use the tool for the first time.

2. Use the supplied battery char-

ger to charge the battery pack.
It takes a maximum of 1 hour
to charge an empty battery. Do
not use the supplied battery
charger to charge any other
tools or appliances.

3. The battery pack reaches its

maximum capacity after
approx. five discharge/charge
cycles.

4. Ni-Cd batteries will also

discharge when they are not in
use. It is recommended, there­fore, to charge the batteries
regularly.

5. Please note the data quoted on
the rating plate of the battery
charger. Operate the charger
only from the same mains
voltage as that quoted on the
rating plate.

6. In periods of heavy duty the
battery pack will grow warm.
Allow the battery pack to cool
to room temperature before
starting to charge it.

Safety regulations:

1. Protect your battery-powered
drill/screwdriverand charger
from the damp and rain.

2. Keep the charger and battery­powered drill/screwdriver safe
from children.

3. Use only sharp drill bits and
undamaged, properly fitting
screwdriver bits.

4. Wear suitable working clothes
and safety goggles.

5. Never use the battery-powered
drill/screwdriver and charger in
the vicinity of vapours and
combustible liquids.

6. Look for concealed electric
cables, gas pipes and water
pipes before drilling and scr­ewdriving in walls.

7. Never throw old batteries into
an open fire. Risk of explosion!

8. Avoid contact with leaky batte­ries. Should contact arise
nevertheless, wash the affec-

GB

BAS 18-2/1H_GB, I, FIN 14.05.2001 14:21 Uhr Seite 6

ted area of skin immediately
with soap and water. If bat­tery acid gets in your eye, rinse
the eye with clear water for at
least 10 minutes and consult
a doctor immediately.

9. Protect the charger and its
cable from damage and sharp
edges. Damaged cables are to
be replaced immediately by an
electrician.

10. Examine your tool for any
signs of damage. Have repairs
carried out only by an electrici­an.

11. Make sure that the contacts of
the Ni-Cd battery pack do not
touch other metallic objects,
e.g. nails and screws. Risk of
short-circuiting!

Putting into operation:
Loading the Ni-Cd battery

pack

1. Check that your mains voltage
is the same as that quoted on
the rating plate. Insert the
charger in a socket-outlet.

2. Pull the battery pack out of the
handle (Figure 5) by depres­sing the clips on the side.

3. nsert the battery pack in the
charger. The red light comes
as a sign that the battery pack
is being charged. The green
LED comes on to signal that
the charging is completed. It

takes 1 hour to charge an
empty battery. The temperature
of the battery may rise slightly
during the charging operation.
This is normal.

If the battery pack fails to become
charged, please check

 whether there is voltage at the

socket-outlet

 whether there is proper contac-

tat the charging contacts on
the charger.

If the battery still fails to become
charged, please return

 the charger
 the battery pack

to our Customer Service
Department.

Timely recharging of the Ni-Cd bat­tery pack is recommended in the
interest of long battery life.
Recharging is always necessary
when you notice that the power of
the battery-powered drill/screwdri­ver is decreasing.

Never allow the battery pack to
discharge completely. This will
result in damage to the Ni-Cd bat­tery pack!

Adjusting the torque
(Figure 1)

The Einhell battery-powered
drill/screwdriver is equipped with a
17-step mechanical torque adjust­ment facility. The torque for a spe-

7

GB

BAS 18-2/1H_GB, I, FIN 14.05.2001 14:21 Uhr Seite 7

cific size of screw is selected with
the set-collar (Figure 1). The cor­rect torque depends on several
factors:

 on the type and hardness of

material in question

 on the type and length screws

used

 on the requirements needing to

be met by the screwed joint.

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

Drilling

For drilling purposes, move the set­collar to the last step „Drill“ (Figure

1). In this setting the slip clutch is

inactive. The maximum torque is
available in drilling mode.

Forward/Reverse switch
(Figure 3)

With the slide switch above the
On/Off switch you can select the
direction of rotation of the battery­powered drill/screwdriver and secu­re it against being switched on
accidentally. You can choose bet­ween clockwise and anticlockwise
rotation. To avoid causing damage
to the gearing it is advisable to
change the direction of rotation
only when the tool is at a standstill.

The On/Off switch is blocked when
the slide switch is in centre positi­on.

On/Off switch (Figure 4)

Infinitely variable speed control is
possible with the On/Off switch.
The further you press the switch,
the higher the speed of the battery­powered drill/screwdriver.

Screwdriving

We recommend using self-cente­ring screws (e.g. Torx screws,
recessed head screws) designed
for reliable working. Be sure to use
a bit that matches the screw in
shape and size. Set the torque, as
described elsewhere in these ope­rating instructions, to suit the size
of screw.
