procedures, parts list and diagrams. Keep your invoice with this manual and write your invoice
number on the inside of the front cover. Keep the manual and invoice in a safe, dry place for
future reference.
This power tool is intended to be used for drilling holes and tightening or unscrewing screws.
This power tool may not be used to do other things out of the desired scope.
The term "power tool" in the warning refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand operator’s manual.
Save these instructions for future reference.
WARNING: Be sure to read and understand all safety instructions in this manual, including
all safety alert symbols such as “danger’’, “warning”, and “caution” before using this cart.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
3
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
7. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and / or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
9. Recommended for the operator to wear hearing protection.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and / or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.

will affect the torque. Operating the machine at low speed will cause a reduction in the
tightening torque.
• Use the proper bit for the proper application.
• Hold the machine pointed straight at the screw. If you tighten the screw for a time
longer than it needs, the screw or the driver bit may be overstressed, stripped,
damaged, etc. Before starting your job, always perform a test operation to determine
the proper tightening time for your screw. When tightening a standard screw in a
steel plate, the proper tightening torque can be obtained in an extremely short time.
• When the battery pack is discharged almost completely, voltage will drop and the
tightening torque will be reduced.
• Driver bit or socket bit: Failure to use the correct size driver bit or socket bit will
cause a reduction in the tightening torque.
• For driving a bolt: Even though the torque coefficient and the class of bolt are the
same, the proper tightening torque will differ according to the diameter of the bolt.
