Total discharging due to storage
If a relatively low charged Li-Ion battery is stored, self discharging can lead to total discharge damage of the
battery after longer storage. Li-Ion batteries must therefore be charged before storing and recharged every
six months at the latest and charged again before use.
NOTICE
Charge the battery before use. Recharge Li­Ion batteries regularly to avoid their total discharge. The
rechargeable battery will be damaged by total discharge.
1
Only use a REMS rapid charger for charging. New Li-Ion batteries and Li-Ion batteries which have not been
used for a long time only reach full capacity after several charges.
Rapid charger Li­ion/NiCd (Art. No. 571560)
The left control lamp lights up and remains green when the mains plug is plugged in. If a battery is inserted
in the rapid charger, the green control lamp flashes to indicate that the battery is charging. The green light
stops flashing and remains on to signal that the battery is fully charged. If the red control lamp flashes, the
battery is defective. If the red control lamp comes on and remains on, this indicates that the temperature of
the rapid charger and / or the battery is outside the permissible operating range of 0°C to +40°C.
NOTICE
The rapid chargers are not suitable for outdoor use.
2.2. Setting the speed
NOTICE
Only switch the preselection lever for the speed range (3) when the power tool is out of operation.
The power tool has two speeds which are set by a mechanical gear. Set the speed range preselection lever
(3) to "Lo" for low speed. Set the speed range preselection lever (3) to "Hi" for high speed. The "Lo" speed is
used preferably for drilling large diameters, removing burr and turning in/loosening screws. The "Hi" speed
is used preferably for drilling small diameters. If the speed range preselection lever (3) cannot be turned up
to the stop, turn the quick-clamping chuck slightly by hand.
2.3. Setting the torque
The torque required for the work is set with the torque setting ring (2). The numbers 1 to 25 and the symbol
are shown on the torque setting ring. The lowest torque is set at stage 1 and the highest torque at
stage 25. A low torque is preferably used for turning in small screws. A higher torque, if necessary up to symbol
, should be set for drilling, removing burr and for loosening screws.
2.4. Reversing the direction of rotation
The rotation direction switch (4) has three rest positions. In the middle rest position the safety switch (5)
cannot be pressed and therefore the power tool cannot be switched on. Select this setting for all work on the
power tool, e.g. tool change, maintenance and for transport and storage. Press the rotation direction switch
(4) with the arrow head in the direction of the quick-clamping chuck (1) up to the stop for right-hand rotation.
Press the rotation direction switch with the arrow head in the direction of the speed range preselection lever
(3) up to the stop for left-hand rotation. The rotation direction switch (4) can only be actuated when the safety
switch (5) is not pressed.
2.5. Clamping the tool
Remove the battery or move the rotation direction switch (4) to the middle rest position. The drilling spindle
is locked when the safety switch (5) is not pressed. This enables easy tightening and loosening of the tool
attachment in the quick-clamping chuck (1). The tool is clamped by turning the quick-clamping chuck (1) to
the right, loosen by turning to the left. Never open or close the quick-clamping chuck when the motor is running.
2.6. Inserting the battery
NOTICE
Charge the battery before inserting in the cordless power drill/screw driver! Push the battery into the drive
unit vertically until it snaps in audibly.
