Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Assembly
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

Changing the tool (see figure A)
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
When working with an application tool, pay attention
u
Capacity
that the application tool is connected securely to the
60–100 %
tool holder. When the application tool is not securely
connected with the tool holder, it can come off during ap-
30–60 %
plication.
5–30 %
Slide the application tool (10) onto the square drive of the
0–5 %
tool holder (1).
Belt clip
You can use the belt clip to hang the power tool on a belt, for
example. You then have both hands free and the power tool
is always at hand.

Method of Operation
5–20 %
The tool holder (1) (with the application tool) is driven by an
0–5 %
electric motor via a gear and impact mechanism.
The working procedure is divided into two phases:
Screwing in and tightening (impact mechanism in action).
The impact mechanism is activated as soon as the screwed
connection runs tight and load is therefore put on the motor.
The impact mechanism then converts the power of the mo-
tor to steady rotary impacts. When loosening screws or nuts,
the process is reversed.
Set the rotational direction (see figure C)
The rotational direction switch (2) is used to change the ro-
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
sible while the on/off switch (8) is being pressed.
Right rotation: To drive in screws and tighten nuts, press
the rotational direction switch (2) through to the left stop.
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,
press the rotational direction switch (2) through to the right
stop.
Adjusting the Speed/Impact Rate
You can adjust the speed/impact rate of the power tool when
it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (8) to varying ex-
tents.
