Use

Warning!

 Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.

Warning!

 Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings, check for 

the location of wiring and pipes.

Charging the battery (fig. A)

The battery needs to be charged before first use and 

whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were 

easily done before. 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 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging 

temperature: approx. 24 °C.

Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell 

temperature is below approximately 0 °C or above 40 °C.

The battery should be left in the charger and the charger 

will begin to charge automatically when the cell 

temperature warms up or cools down.

u

  To charge the battery (8), insert it into the charger (13). 

The battery will only fit into the charger in one way. Do not 

force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the 

charger.

u

  Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.

The charging indicator (14) will flash green (slowly).

The charge is complete when the charging indicator (14) lights 

green continuously. The charger and the battery can be left 

connected indefinitely with the LED illuminated. The LED will 

change to flashing green (charging) state as the charger 

occasionally tops up the battery charge. The charging 

indicator (14) will be lit as long as the battery is connected to 

the plugged-in charger.

u

  Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will 

be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.

Leaving the battery in the charger

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the 

LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery 

pack fresh and fully charged.

Charger diagnostics

If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the 

charging indicator (14) will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed as 

follows:

u

  Re-insert the battery (8).

u

  If the charging indicators continues flashing red at a fast 

rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging 

process works properly.

u

  If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original 

battery is defective and should be returned to a service 

centre for recycling.

u

  If the new battery gives the same indication as the original 

battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised 

services centre.

Note: It may take as long as 60 minutes to determine that 

the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too 

cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one 

flash at each speed and repeat.

Selecting the direction of rotation (fig. C)

For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward (clockwise) 

rotation. For loosening screws or removing a jammed drill bit, 

use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.

u

  To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse slider 

(2) to the left.

u

  To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse slider 

to the right.

u

  To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider into the 

centre position.

Selecting the operating mode or torque (fig. D)

The FMC607’s transmission allows the user to switch between 

drill mode and drive mode without changing the clutch collar’s 

clutch setting.  The user can switch to drill mode, drill a pilot 

hole. Then rotate into drive mode with one click , and use 

whatever clutch setting they have set.

Large screws and hard 

workpiece materials require a higher torque setting than small 

screws and soft workpiece materials. The collar has a wide 

range of settings to suit your application.

u

For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar (5) to 

the drilling position by aligning the symbol   with the 

marking (16).

u

For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If 

you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as 

follows:

u

Turn the mode select collar (5) until the marking (16) is 

aligned with the screw icon

u

Set the collar (3) to the lowest torque setting.

u

Tighten the first screw.

u

If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is 

achieved, increase the collar setting and continue 

tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct 

setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws.

Speed selector (fig. E)

u

  For drilling in steel and for screwdriving applications, slide 

the speed selector 6) towards the rear of the tool (1st 

gear).
