• Do not use battery when damaged; it should be
replaced immediately
• Do not disassemble charger or battery
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries
with the charger
• Explanation of symbols on charger/battery
3 Read the instruction manual before use
4 Only use the charger indoors
5 Double insulation (no earth wire required)
6 Incorrect polarity of the charger connection could
cause a hazard (only charge the battery with the
charger supplied)
7 Do not dispose of the charger together with
household waste material
8 Do not dispose of the battery together with
household waste material
9 NiMH technology provides more energy in a less
environment-polluting way
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of the charger to the earth terminal of the
plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of the
charger, it must be disposed of safely and not left
unattended
USE
• Charging battery 0
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
- plug charger into power source
- light B will turn on
- insert battery into charger
- light B will blink indicating that the battery is receiving
a charge (0a)
- after approximately 2-3 hours the battery is fully
charged and light B stays on after blinking, at which
time the charger automatically switches to
maintenance-charging (0b)
! remove battery from charger after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the service
life of the battery
IMPORTANT:
- if light B does not blink after inserting a battery (0b),
this may mean:
1) that the battery is too cold or too hot (charger only
charges batteries when its temperature is between
0°C and 45°C); the charger then automatically
switches to maintenance-charging, until a
temperature between 0°C and 45°C is reached, at
which time the charger will automatically switch to
normal charging
2) that the battery should be replaced
- while charging, the charger and the battery may
become warm to touch; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem
- ensure that the outside surface of the battery is clean
and dry before inserting into charger

8
- do not charge at temperatures below 0° C and over
40° C; this will seriously damage the battery as well
as the charger
- do not remove battery from tool while it is running
! a battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a
few minutes of operation; this may result in a
reduction of operating time and battery effi ciency
- the nickel-metalhydride battery must be kept
separate from the natural environment and should
not be disposed of as normal domestic waste
(symbol 8 will remind you of this when the need for
disposing occurs)
! prior to disposal protect battery terminals with
heavy tape to prevent short-circuit
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool,
it is best to unplug the charger from its power source
Control the speed steplessly from zero to maximum by
putting less or more pressure on the trigger
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch
A 2 cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
- insert the bit as deep as possible in the chuck
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
! only use sharp bits
- limits the amount of output torque delivered by the
chuck (26 clutch settings)
- output torque will increase as clutch ring C is rotated
from 1 to 25; position D will lock up the clutch to
permit drilling or driving heavy duty work
- when turning in a screw, fi rst try VariTorque position 1
and increase until the desired depth has been
reached
- set selector E to desired speed
! actuate the gear selector while tool is running
slowly
HIGH POWER
- high torque
- for screwdriving and drilling large diameters
- for tapping thread
HIGH SPEED
- lower torque
- for drilling small diameters
Shows how much energy the battery has left
- keep ventilation slots H 2 uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the
tool do the work for you
