of purchasing a new identical tool. The illegal disposal 

of waste may result in prosecution to the full extent of 

the law.

Battery disposal

: The batteries included in the equip-

ment can be disposed of along with it. 

Do not throw the used batteries on the fire and do not 

dispose of them in the environment, but take them to 

special disposal centres. Do not dispose of them with 

domestic waste.

15  Cadmium content over 0.002% in weight.

GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

1) Always check the efficiency and integrity of the tool. It 

can cause serious injury to the user.

2) Keep a safe distance from property, people and animals 

and do not allow them to approach while you are wor-

king.

3) Do not use the tool and do not charge the batteries in 

closed or poorly ventilated areas or in the presence of 

flammable and/or explosive liquids, powders, gases or 

anything else of this kind.

4) To prevent overloads that may be hazardous to the tool 

and operator, only use bits or accessories suited for the 

job to be performed and turn the tool off when a slight 

motor slowing is perceived.

5) Never remove any tool components and do not tamper 

with it in any way.

6) Make sure that the object to be processed is firmly 

secured in place.  

7) Always check that accessories and bits are correctly 

tight before using the tool.

8) The operator is responsible for third parties in the tool 

work area.

9) Tie long hair back and do not wear bracelets or long 

necklaces as they could get caught up in the moving 

parts of the machine.

10) During work, always wear suitable safety goggles 

and gloves.

11) Always keep a safe distance and good balance when 

working with the tool.

12) Only use the on/off button to stop the tool.

13) When the tool and battery charger are not in use, store 

them in a dry place out of reach of children.

14) Do not attempt to repair the tool and battery charger; 

if broken, in case of abnormal wear or malfunctioning, 

have qualified personnel at authorised service centres in-

spect them after having consulted the “Troubleshooting” 

chapter in this handbook.

15) Only use this tool as instructed in this handbook.

16) Periodically check that all screws on the casing are 

tight, where fitted.

17) The tool and battery charger must only be connected 

when charging the batteries.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

1) The battery charger power mains must supply vol-

tage equal to that stated on the technical data plate 

(230V~50Hz), and must be protected from overloads 

and short circuits according to current regulations. Do 

not use any other type of power supply.

2) Avoid that the power cord of the battery charger is 

damaged or trod upon when functioning. Do not pull the 

battery charger by the cable.

3) Any extension cables must have a section of electric 

wires greater than or equal to that required to supply the 

current absorbed by the battery charger.

4) Do not use the tool in the rain, in damp areas or on wet 

surfaces and at temperatures other than those indicated 

in the “Technical Specifications” chapter.

5) When charging the batteries, do not use the tool and 

make sure that any tool lights/LEDs are off.

6) Disconnect the battery charger from the power supply 

when not charging the batteries.

7) Do not charge batteries if room temperature is higher or 

lower than the normal operating range (see “Technical 

Specifications” chapter).

USE

The tool batteries may not be charged upon purchase. 

Before use, fully charge the batteries by inserting the battery 

charger plug in the tool socket before connecting the charger 

to the power supply (see figure B). See the attached sheet 

for battery charge times.

According to the purchased model, tool connection to the 

power supply may be indicated by a LED (see figure A).

Do not use the tool while charging.

When fully charged, disconnect the battery charger from 

the power supply and then from the tool.

-  Before every use, check battery charge level by pressing 

the indicator device button (where fitted) and test it making 

it run idly. To guarantee long battery life, only charge 

batteries before use if depleted and if do not allow the 

tool to work efficiently. 

-  According to the purchased model, insert the required bit 

or accessory in the chuck, first inserting the accessory 

holder (where fitted) as illustrated in figure C.

-  For models with built-in light only: Turn the tool light 

on using the switch as required. This light may not be 

enough to guarantee adequate illumination of the entire 

work area.

-  For models equipped with tightening torque adjustment de-

vice only (fig. E): turn the nut to set screwing/unscrewing 

tightening torque as illustrated in Fig. E. If, during use, the 

set torque is exceeded, a noise will be emitted from the 

internal clutch device and the chuck stops rotating; this is 

normal and is not a tool defect. According to the model, 

the clutch device may be disabled (position 

) in order 

to set maximum motor torque, always to be used when 

drilling.

-  Press and hold down the on/off button in the position that 

corresponds to the required chuck rotation direction.

-  Release the button to stop the tool after use.

-  For models with built-in light only: Turn the light off after 

use.

Notes on battery use

Improper battery use shortens battery life and reduces 

supplied power. Therefore:

1) Charge the batteries when fully depleted and until fully 

charged. Intentionally deplete the batteries before char-

ging them and starting work.  

2) Do not charge batteries for more than the time indicated 

in this handbook.

3) If you usually use the tool for a short time, periodically 

fully deplete and fully charge the batteries.
