Use
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. A new battery or a battery that has not been
used for a long period of time achieves full performance only
after approximately 5 charging and discharging cycles.
After normal use, a charging time of 12 hours will enable the
tool to operate at an effective power level for most tasks.
However, further charging for up to 24 hours could significantly
increase the run time, depending on the battery and charging
conditions. The battery may become warm while charging;
this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
To charge the battery, insert the charger plug (7) into the
x
connector (3).
Plug in the charger. Switch on at the mains.
x
Leave the tool connected to the charger for at least 12 hours.
x
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
x
the tool from the charger.
Warning! Do not use the tool while it is connected to the charger.
Operating the tool (fig. D)
To tighten a screw or nut, slide the on/off switch (1) to
x
the right and press it.
To loosen a screw or nut, slide the on/off switch (1) to the

Hints for optimum use
Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
x
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
x
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
Use the spindle lock to loosen very tight screws or to
x
firmly tighten screws.
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
x
with the screw.
When screwing in wood, it is recommended to drill a pilot
x
hole with a depth equal to the length of the screw.
