5 GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
Warning! Read allsafety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power
tool.
5.1 Work area
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
5.2 Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch of
plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
5.4 Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
POWX0178LI
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
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. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer and it frees both
hands to operate the tool.
5.5 Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
6 SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the
work area or call the local utility company for assistance.
Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool insert jams. Be
prepared for high reaction torque that can cause kickback.
Hold power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may run into hidden wiring.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands
and provide for a secure stance.
Secure the workpiece.
Keep your workplace clean.
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before
POWX0178LI
placing it down.
Before any work on the machine (e. g., maintenance, tool change, etc.)
as well as during transport and storage, set the rotational direction
switch to the centre position.
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off switch is in the off
position before inserting battery pack.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be
emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek medical help in case of
complaints.

9 (PRE)OPERATION
9.1 Charging the battery
The battery pack for this tool is supplied in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems, therefore, you have to charge the battery
before first use.
! Charge battery pack only with the charger provided ! Using an other
charger can cause severe damage or even cause battery to explode
WARNING! Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the machine
has been automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged. The
battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control which allows charging
only within a temperature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery
service life is achieved in this manner.
When the battery charge-control indicator lights up
seconds with the On/Off switch pressed through halfway or fully, then the
battery has less than 30% of its capacity and should be charged.
The charging procedure begins as soon as the mains plug of the battery
charger is plugged into a socket outlet and the charge connector is plugged
into the socket on the bottom of the handle.
The battery charge-control indicator, indicates the charging progress.
During the charging process, the indicator LED lights from one to four.
When the battery charge-control indicator all four LED’s are green, the
battery is fully charged.
During the charging procedure, the handle of the machine warms up. This
is normal. Disconnect the battery charger from the mains supply when not
using it for longer periods.
The power tool cannot be used during the charge procedure; it is not
defective when inoperative during the charging procedure.
Protect the battery charger against moisture!
Observe the notes for disposal.
9.2 Charging the Tool
The SDS-Plus tool holder allows for simple and convenient
changing of drilling tools without the use of additional tools.
Due to their working principle, SDS-Plus drilling tools move freely. This
results in radial run-out at no-load. However, this has no effect on the
accuracy of the drill hole, as the drill bit centres itself during drilling.
The SDS-Plus tool holder can also accommodate different drill-bit types
POWX0178LI
with hexagon shank.
Use only bit with SDS-Plus. Other bits can be used with a keyless chuck
with SDS-Plus.
The dust protection cap largely prevents the entry of drilling dust into the
tool holder during operation. When inserting the tool, take care that the
dust protection cap is not damaged.
A damaged dust protection cap should be changed
immediately. We recommend having this carried out by an
after-sales service.
9.2.1 Inserting SDS-Plus Drilling Tools (see figure B)
Clean and lightly grease the shank end of the tool.
Insert the tool in a twisting manner into the tool holder until it latches
itself.
Check the latching by pulling the tool.
9.2.2 Removing SDS-Plus Drilling Tools (see figure C)
Push back the locking sleeve 3 and remove the tool.
9.2.3 Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types,
minerals and metal can be harmful to one’s health. Touching or breathingin the dusts can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory
infections of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as carcinogenic,
especially in connection with wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood
preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
10 OPERATION
10.1 Setting the Operating Mode
With the selector switch for “drilling/hammer drilling”, the operating mode of
the machine is selected.

Position for drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic
and plastic as well as for screwdriving
10.2 Reversing the Rotational Direction (see figure D)
Actuate the rotational direction switch (7) only when the
machine is at a standstill.
The rotational direction switch is used to reverse the rotational direction of
the machine. However, this is not possible with the On/Off switch actuated.
Right Rotation: For drilling and driving in screws, push the rotational
direction switch right to the stop.
The indicator for right rotation lights up when the On/Off switch
is actuated and the motor is running.
Left Rotation: For loosening and unscrewing screws and nuts, press the
rotational direction switch through to the left stop.
The indicator for left rotation lights up when the On/Off switch is
actuated and the motor is running.
10.3 Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch (8) and keep it pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch.
For low temperatures, the power tool reaches the full hammer/impact
POWX0178LI
capacity only after a certain time.
10.4 Setting the Speed/Impact Rate
The speed/impact rate of the switched on power tool can be variably
adjusted, depending on how far the On/Off switch is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch results in low speed/impact rate.
Further pressure on the switch increases the speed/impact rate.
10.5 Battery Charge-control Indication
The battery charge-control indicator indicates the charge condition of the
battery for a few seconds when the On/Off switch is pressed through
halfway of fully.
All four LED′s are on > 90%
Three LED′s are on > 70%
Two LED′s are on > 30%
One LED is on ≤30%
Once only the one LED is lit, the screwdriver must be recharged.
10.6 Temperature Dependent Overload Protection
When using as intended for, the power tool can’t be subject to overload.
When the load is too high or the allowable battery temperature of 70 °C is
exceeded, the electronic control switches off the power tool until the
temperature is in the optimum temperature range again.
Additionally, the battery charge-control indicator flashes green at the same
time until the On/Off switch is released.
