# Starting Operation

##

- Only operate the rotational direction switch (7) when the power tool is not in use.

The rotational direction switch (7) is used to change the rotational direction of the power tool. However, this is not possible while the on/off switch (6) is being pressed.

Right rotation: To drill and to drive in screws, press the rotational direction switch (7) through to the left stop.

Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts, press the rotational direction switch (7) through to the right stop.

##

The torque presetting ring (2) can be used to pre-select the required torque in 20 stages. When the correct setting is used, the application tool will be stopped when the screw is driven flush into the material or once the set torque has been reached. In position the overload clutch is deactivated, e.g. for drilling.

When unscrewing screws, it may be advisable to select a higher setting or the symbol.

In position , the maximum torque for drilling and screwdriving is achieved.

##

- Only operate the gear selector (3) when the power tool is not in use.

- Always push the gear selector switch as far as it will go. Otherwise, the power tool may become damaged.

You can preselect two speed ranges with the gear selector (3).

Gear selector switch (3) position | Speed | Torque | Application range
--- | --- | --- | ---
1 | Low | High | For heavy-duty applications: e.g. drilling and screwdriving with large diameters
2 | High | Low | For light-duty applications: e.g. drilling and screwdriving with small diameters

##

Drilling
Set the torque presetting ring (2) to the "drilling" symbol to achieve the maximum torque for drilling and screwdriving.

Screwdriving
Set the torque presetting ring (2) to the required torque setting.

##

To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch (6).

The worklight (9) lights up when the on/off switch (6) is lightly or fully pressed, allowing the work area to be illuminated in poor lighting conditions.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (6).

##

You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (6) to varying extents.

A light pressure on the on/off switch (6) results in a low rotational speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an increase in speed.

##

The rapid shut-off function (KickBack Control) gives the user greater control over the power tool and offers them better protection than power tools that do not have KickBack Control. The power tool will switch off if it suddenly and unforeseeably rotates around the drilling axis.

Rapid shut-off is indicated by flashing of the worklight on the power tool.

To switch the tool back on, release the on/off switch and then press it again.

- It will no longer be possible to switch the power tool on if the KickBack Control function is faulty. Have the power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only original replacement parts.

##

In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be overloaded. If there is an extreme overload, the power tool switches off until the optimal operating temperature range is reached again.

This status is indicated by the three battery charge indicator LEDs flashing in a chase sequence. The LEDs turn off if the power tool has reached the optimum operating temperature again.
