USING AN EXTENSION CORD
In case an extension cord is needed, it needs to be an approved extension cord suitable for the tool power (see rating plate).
The minimum should be 1mm2. If the cord works with a spool, always unwind the cord completely.

FITTING THE SIDE HANDLE (FIG. A)(ONLY FOR HP180K)
• Loosen the side handle (8) by turning it counterclockwise.
• Slide the side handle over the chuck and onto the housing.
• Tighten the side handle by turning it clockwise.
FITTING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY (FIG. B)

battery snaps into place.
• To remove the battery, push the release button (10) while at the same time pulling the battery out of the receptacle.
FITTING AND REMOVING A DRILL BIT OR SCREWDRIVER BIT (FIG. A & C)
This tool is fitted with a keyless chuck to allow for an easy exchange of bits.
• Lock the tool by setting the forward/reverse slider (2) to the centre position (FIG. A).
• Open the chuck by turning the front part (12) with one hand while holding the rear part (13) with the other (FIG. C).
• Insert the bit shaft (14) into the chuck.
• Firmly tighten the chuck by turning the front part (12) with one hand while holding the rear part (13) with the other.

USE
WARNING:
Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
CHARGING THE BATTERY (FIG. E)
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 an extended period of time, achieves full performance only after approx.
5 charging and discharging cycles. The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
After normal use, a charging time of 3 hours will provide sufficient power for most applications. However, further charging
passed to 180 minutes could significantly increase the use time, depending on the battery and charging conditions.
• To charge the battery (9), remove it from the tool and insert it into the charger (11).
• The battery will only fit into the charger in one way. Do not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the charger.
• Plug in the charger.
