Changing tools
Your cordless drill / screwdriver has a fully automat-
ic spindle lock
.
Once the motor has come to a halt, the drive shaft
is automatically locked, so that the chuck
11
can
be opened simply by turning it
.
After you have inserted the required bit and fixed it
in place by turning the chuck
, you can immedi-
ately continue working. The spindle lock releases
itself automatically when the motor is started (by
operation of the ON / OFF switch
5
).
2 Gear Drive
Note: Move the gear selector switch
1
only after
the device has come to a standstill.
In the first gear (Gear selector switch
1
in Position: 1)
you achieve a speed of up to approx. 400 rpm and a
high torque. This setting is suitable for all screwing tasks.
In the second gear (Gear selector switch
1
in Position: 2)
It achieves a speed of up to approx. 1300 rpm, for
the carrying out of drilling tasks.
Torque control / drill step
You can use the torque control / drill step
10
to
adjust the torque. When the value of the torque
setting is reached, the clutch disengages the drive
connection to the chuck.
Select a low setting for small screws, soft work
material.
Select a high setting for large screws, hard
work materials and for the extraction of screws.
For drilling work, select the drill setting by putting
the torque control / drill setting into the position.
For drilling tasks, also push the gear selector
switch
