Ozito SDR-036, Operation Manual

• Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

• DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the    

temperature may reach or exceed 40ºC (such as outside sheds or metal 

buildings in summer).

• The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical 

power (240 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!

The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the 

safety instructions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.

• The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery 

pack is charged when the air temperature is between 18 - 24ºC. Do not 

charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 10o C or above 

40ºC. This is important and will prevent damage to the battery pack.

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is 

completely worn out. The battery can explode in a fire.

• Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic 

housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue 

use and do not recharge.

This appliance is not intended for

 use by persons (including children) 

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of  

experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or 

instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for 

their safety.

Charging the Battery

 This tool has been shipped in a low charge condition 

and should be fully charged prior to use. 

 Plug the 240V charger adaptor (13) into an appropriate 

AC power outlet and switch on. 

Connect the charger plug (12) of the AC adaptor into

the charging socket (7) of the screwdriver.

The red charge indication LED (6) will illuminate. 

The batteries will take 3-5 hours to charge. This may vary up to 7 hours due 

to the level of charge left in the batteries and also the ambient temperature.

NOTE:

 The charge indicator LED (6) will always be illuminated when the 

charger is plugged in and turned on!

Initial Charge

Charge your battery for 5-7 hours then use it until it runs down and only 

slowly operates. Recharge for 5-7 hours again.

Once again run your tool until only a small amount of charge remains.

Repeat the above cycle about 4 or 5 times, this should set the battery 

“memory”, then charge as earlier stated.

Caution:

 This charger does not automatically turn off when the battery is 

fully charged. Please take care not to leave the tool on the charger turned 

on for excessive periods of time.

Switch off the charger at mains when charging is complete.

NOTE: 

The charge indicator LED (6) will be illuminated when the charger is 

plugged in charging the screwdriver. The charge indicator LED (6) will turn 

off when the screwdriver is fully charged. 

Inserting Driver Bits
Important!

 Always unplug the charger  and make sure  

the forward/reverse lever (5) is in the lock position. Refer  

to 

Forward / Reverse Lever

 in the coming instructions.

The screwdriver has a quick connect chuck (1) feature, 

simply slide the collar of the quick connect chuck (1) 

back towards the torque collar (2) to either insert or extract the driver bits 

(11) you are using. Release the collar once you have inserted the driver bit 

(11) to lock in your bit. 

Replacement Driver Bits

 can be purchased at any Bunnings Warehouse.

Always ensure that you only use single ended 50mm driver bits as shorter 

driver bits may become stuck or hard to remove from the screwdriver.

On/Off Switch

Depress the On/Off trigger (8) to start the screwdriver and keep holding it 

for continuous operation.

To stop the screwdriver, release the On/Off trigger (8).

Note: 

This screwdriver  does not have variable speed!

Forward / Reverse Lever

To select the forward or reverse on your screwdriver 

simply push the forward/ reverse slide lever (5) to the

 left side for reverse (R) or the right side for forward (F). 

To lock the screwdriver simply ensure that the 

forward/reverse lever (5) is placed in between forward  

or reverse position.

Torque Settings

When using your screwdriver for various driving applications, it becomes 

necessary to increase and decrease the power and torque in order to 

prevent the possibility of damaging screw heads, threads, work piece, etc. 

In general, power and torque should correspond to the size of the screw 

and the material type that the screw is being driven into.

To Adjust Torque

• Locate the arrow on the front of torque collar (2).

• Identify the drill bit icon or non torque setting and    

   6 torque settings on the front of the drill. 

• Rotate the torque collar (2) to the desired setting 

   aligning the number on the front of the screwdriver  

   with the arrow torque collar (2).

• To increase or decrease torque, rotate torque  

   collar (2). The lower the number, the lower the torque or twisting action       

   the screwdriver will produce. The higher the number, the higher the    

   torque or twisting action the screwdriver will produce.

Always check that the correct torque setting is selected by practicing on 

scrap material prior to carrying out a job.

Pre Drilling your Material

It is recommended to pre drill holes in the material you are about to screw 

into. Pre drilling holes will assist the screwdriver when driving screws and 

enable your tool to operate efficiently.

Operation Of The Screwdriver

Only use driver/drill bits which can be securely fastened in the quick  

connect chuck (1) and for which the bits have been designed.

Before using the screwdriver check whether the screw-bit is inserted cor-

rectly. Avoid over-tightening screws, otherwise the screw head may be 

damaged or stripping of the threads may occur.

Screw Insertion

Set the direction of rotation of the screwdriver to the clockwise/forward  

direction using the forward/reverse lever (5). Insert the required driver bit 

into the head of the screw. Hold the driver bit in line with the head of the 

screw, otherwise the screw or the screw head may be damaged. Always 

keep constant pressure while driving in the screw to avoid damage to the 

driver bit or screw head.

Depress the On/Off switch (8) to start driving the screw into your workpiece.

Always hold the screwdriver firmly and when the screw is completely 

screwed in, release the On/Off switch (8), otherwise the screw or the screw 

head may be damaged. If the On/Off switch (8) is not released immediately 

the high torque could also damage the driver bit or the screwdriver.

Screw Removal

Set the direction of rotation of the screwdriver to the anticlockwise/reverse  

direction using the forward/reverse lever (5). Insert the required driver bit 

into the head of the screw. Hold the driver bit in line with the head of the 

screw, otherwise the screw or the screw head may be damaged.  

Always keep constant pressure while driving or removing  the screw to 

avoid damage to the driver bit or screw head. 

Depress the On/Off switch (8) to start removing the screw from your workpiece.

Always hold the screwdriver firmly and when the screw is completely 

removed, release the On/Off switch (8). 

Rotating Rear Handle

This screwdriver  has two different handle configurations to assist with your 

job requirements. Inline will assist you in hard to reach areas where  

additional reach is required. Bent  or “L” shape will provide you with  

additional grip for those jobs where more torque is required.

To return the handle to the original position press the rotating handle lock 

button (4) and rotate the handle clockwise till the handle locks into position. 

Battery Charge Indicator

The screwdriver is equipped with a battery charge    

indicator (3) to assist you to determine how charged  

your screwdriver may currently be.

To check how much charge your screwdriver may    

have simply press the button below the battery charge  

indicator (3) and the LED lights will illuminate. 

A red Led informs you that the screwdriver requires    

charging, an orange Led indicates that the screwdriver is low in charge 

andquires charging.

A green LED indicates that the screwdriver is fully charged and ready  

for use.

LED Light

The screwdriver has a built in LED light (10) to 

illuminate dark areas. Simply press  the LED light 

On/Off button (9) on and off as required. Turn 

off  the LED light when not needed to save battery life

by pressing the LED light On/Off button (9) again. 

This will turn off the LED light (10).
