7.1
Battery pack, capacity and signal
indicator
Charge the battery pack before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance dimin-
ishes.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and
30°C.

7.4
Selecting the gear
Do not set the switch (4) unless the motor has
stopped completely!
7.5
Setting the torque limitation,
screwdriving, drilling and impact drilling
Fig. F
= Set screwdriving by turning the sleeve
(3)
AND
set the torque (with torque limitation) by
turning the sleeve (2) - intermediate
settings are also possible.
= Set drilling by turning the sleeve (3) (max.
torque, without torque limitation)
To avoid overloading the motor, do not
jam the spindle.
Machines with the designation SB...:
= Set impact drilling by turning the sleeve
(3) (max. torque, without torque limitation)
To avoid overloading the motor, do not
jam the spindle.

Switching On/Off, setting the speed
Fig. A
Switching on, speed: press the trigger switch (13).
Press in the trigger switch to increase the
rotational speed.
Switching off: release the trigger switch (13). Note:
the noise that the machine makes when it
switches off is due to the design (quick stop)
and has no influence on the function or the
service life of the machine.
7.7
Keyless chuck
With a soft tool shank, retightening may be required
after a short drilling period.
Information for machines with the designation
