hand while holding the rear part (12) with the other.

Tighten an Allen key (14) into the chuck and strike it with
a hammer as shown.

Remove the chuck by turning it counterclockwise.
To refit the chuck, screw it onto the spindle and secure it

Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Charging the battery
The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever
it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily
done before. When charging the battery for the first time, or
after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80% charge.
After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will
attain full capacity. The battery may become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Charger with charger plug (fig. E)
To charge the battery, make sure that it is fitted on the
tool.
Insert the charger plug (9) into the connector (8).
Plug in the charger (7).
Switch on at the mains.
After normal use, a charging time of 3 hours will provide
sufficient power for most applications. However, further
charging for up to 6 hours could significantly increase the use
time, depending on the battery and charging conditions.
Disconnect the tool from the charger.
Warning! Do not use the tool while it is connected to the charger.
Selecting the direction of rotation
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward (clockwise)
rotation. For loosening screws or removing a jammed drill bit,
use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
(2) to the left.
To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
to the right.
To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider into the
centre position.
