1. General Safety Rules

WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result

in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. 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.

CAUTION!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.

Any errors made in following the safety regulations

and instructions may result in an electric shock, re

and/or serious injury.

Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a
safe place for future use.

1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and

dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
a. Power tools plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)

power tool. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b. 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.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d. 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.

e. 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.

f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk

of electric shock.

3. Personal safety
a. 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal injury.

b. 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.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before plugging in. Carrying

power tools with your nger on the switch or

plugging in power tools that have the switch on

invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. 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.

g. 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.

4. Power tool use and care
a. 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.

b. 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.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the power

tool accidentally.

d. 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.

e. 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.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to

control.

g. 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

6

the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

6. Recommendation

We recommend that the tool always be supplied via
residual current device with a rated residual current
of 30 mA or less.

2. Additional Safety Rules

Hold the equipment by the insulated handles when
carrying out work during which the screw or the
plug-in tool could strike concealed power cables.

Contact with a live cable may also make the metal
parts of the equipment live and cause an electric
shock.

We pay a great deal of attention to the design
of every battery pack to ensure that we supply
you with batteries which feature maximum power
density, durability and safety. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell
is initially formatted and its electrical characteristic
curves are recorded. These data are then used
exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible
battery packs. Despite all the safety precautions,

caution must always be exercised when handling
batteries. The following points must be obeyed at
all times to ensure safe use.

Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged
cells are used. Incorrect handling can cause cell
damage.

Important! Analyses conrm that incorrect use

and poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.

Information about the battery

1.

The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to be

charged before you use the tool for the rst

time.

2.

For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.

3.

Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.

4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity
falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are
no longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. Do not throw battery packs into an open

re. There is a risk of explosion!

6.

Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it

to re.

7.

Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the
battery cells. The most common cause of
exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or
non-use of partly discharged batteries. Stop
working as soon as the performance of the
battery falls noticeably or the electronic
protection system triggers. Place the
battery pack in storage only after it has
been fully charged.

8.

Protect batteries and the tool from

overloads. Overloads will quickly result in
overheating and cell damage inside the
battery housing without this overheating
actually being apparent externally.

9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace
batteries which have been dropped from
a height of more than one meter or which
have been exposed to violent shocks
without delay, even if the housing of the
battery pack appears to be undamaged.
The battery cells inside the battery may
have suffered serious damage. In this
respect, please also read the waste disposal
information.

10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective
cut-off will switch off the equipment for
safety reasons. Important! Do not press the
ON/OFF switch any more if the protective
cut-off has actuated. This may damage the
battery pack.

11.

Use only original battery packs. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries,

explosion and a re risk.

Information on chargers and the charging
process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger. Be sure to
connect the battery charger to a power
supply with the voltage marked on the
rating plate. Never connect it to a different
mains voltage.

2. Protect the battery charger and its cable
from damage and sharp edges. Have
damaged cables repaired without delay by a

qualied electrician.

3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the
cordless tool out of children’s reach.

4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.

5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.

6. In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to
room temperature before commencing with
the charging.

7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not
exceed the maximum charging times. These

AFTER SALES SUPPORT

m

charging times only apply to discharged
batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in
overcharging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for days on end.

8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect
that the last time they were charged was more
than 12 months previously. There is a high
probability that the battery pack has already
suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive
discharge).

9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
10°C will cause chemical damage to the cell

and may cause a re.

10.

Do not use batteries which have heated during
the charging process, as the battery cells may
have suffered dangerous damage.

11.

Do not use batteries which have suffered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical
symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)

12.

Never fully discharge the battery pack

(recommended depth of discharge max. 80%)
A complete discharge of the battery pack will
lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.

13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.

Protection from environmental inuences

1.

Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.

2.

Protect your cordless tool and the battery

charger from moisture and rain. Moisture and
rain can cause dangerous cell damage.

3.

Do not use the cordless tool or the battery

charger near vapors and inammable liquids.

4.

Use the battery charger and cordless tools only

in dry conditions and an ambient temperature
of 10-40°C.

5.

Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is likely to reach over
40°C. In particular, do not leave the battery
charger in a car that is parked in the sun.

6.

Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads,
over-charging and exposure to direct sunlight
will result in overheating and cell damage.
Never charge or work with batteries which
have been overheated – replace them
immediately if possible.

7.

Storage of batteries, battery chargers and
cordless tools. Store the charger and your
cordless tool only in dry places with an
ambient temperature of 10-40°C. Store your
lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place at
a temperature of 10-20°C. Protect them from
humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully
charged batteries in storage (charged to at
least 40%).

8.

Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from
freezing. Battery packs which were stored
below 0°C for more than 60 minutes must be
disposed of.

9.

When handling batteries be aware of

electrostatic discharge: Electrostatic
discharges cause damage of the electronic
protection system and the battery cells.
Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch
the battery poles.

Important!

When using equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Please read the complete operating manual with
due care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that
the information is available at all times. If you give
the equipment to any other person, give them
these operating instructions as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents
which arise due to non-observance of these
instructions and the safety information.

during the charging process. This is normal.

If the battery pack fails to charge, please check

•

whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet

•

and check for proper contact with the

charging contacts in the battery charger.

If the battery still fails to charge please call our
After Sales Support on 1300 922 271 .

Timely recharging of the battery pack will help it
serve you well for a long time. You must recharge
the battery pack when you notice that the power
of the screwdriver drops.

Never allow the battery pack to become fully
discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

7.2 Forward/Reverse switch (Fig. 2)

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 the chuck by preventing
rotation, therefore indicates when the set torque is
reached.

Important! The tool must be at a standstill

when you set the torque.

7.9 Screwdriving

We recommend using self-centering screws (e.g.
Torx screws, recessed head screws) designed for
reliable working. Make sure to use a bit that
