Adjusting the torque
Fig. A
The machine has different torque settings and
a special drill mode to set the power being
transmitted to the chuck.
By rotating the torque adjustment ring (12),
screws can be driven to a predetermined depth,
which is ideal for repetitive work. The higher the
number, the more torque will be transmitted.
• Select a low setting for small screws or soft
work material.
• Select a high setting for large screws, hard
work materials and when removing screws.
• You should preferably choose a setting as
low as possible when driving screws. Select
a higher setting if the motor slips before the
screw is fully tightened.
• For drilling, turn the torque adjustment ring
(12) to the setting for drilling by fully turning it
counterclockwise.
Ensure that the direction switch (10) is
always set to  during drilling.
The machine is equipped with electronic
overload protection function. When the
machine gets overloaded it will shut
down automatically. When this happens,
please wait for at least 5 seconds to let
the overload protection reset itself.
Work light (13)
Fig. A
The machine is equipped with a work light to
illuminate the work location.
• It automatically switches on when the on/off
switch is being pressed.
• It automatically switches off when the on/off
switch is released again.
Belt hook (14)
Fig. A
The machine is equipped with a belt hook for
hanging the machine to your belt during use.
Always switch the direction switch (10) to
middle position to avoid accidental
startup of the machine.

• When delivered, the belt hook (14) is
assembled to the left side of the machine.
• It can easily be removed by removing the
screw on the hook and taking it off.
• It can be assembled on the right side of the
machine when this is preferred.
User tips
When driving screws into wood, metal and other
materials:
• Before using the appliance check if the drill or
screw bit is properly fitted and centered inside
the drill chuck.
• Screw bits are available in several shapes and
dimensions. When unsure, always try if the bit
fits on the screw head without any free play
before using the machine.
• Make sure the machine is not running when
it contacts the screw. A rotating bit may slip.
This could result in damage to the work piece.
When drilling into wood, metal and other materials:
• With small diameter drills use a high drill speed.
For large diameter drills use a low drill speed.
• For hard materials, select a low drill speed, for
soft materials select a high drill speed.
• Fix the work piece properly, preferably by
using a clamp or vice.
• During drilling draw back the drill out of the
hole frequently so swarf or drill dust will be
removed.
When drilling in metal:
• Use a metal drill (HSS). For the best results you
should cool the bit with oil.
• Metal (HSS) drills can also be used drilling into
plastic.
4. MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning and maintenance, always
switch off the machine and remove the
battery pack from the machine.
Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft
cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that
the ventilation openings are free of dust and
dirt. Remove very persistent dirt using a soft
cloth moistened with soapsuds. Do not use any
solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia,
