CAUTION:
Do not rotate the change lever when the tool is
running under load. The tool will be damaged.
To avoid rapid wear on the mode change
mechanism, be sure that the change lever is
always positively located in one of the two or three
action mode positions.
Torque limiter
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque
level is reached. The motor will disengage from the
output shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.
CAUTION:
As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off
the tool immediately. This will help prevent
premature wear of the tool.

The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the
tool is plugged. If the indicator lamp does not light up,
the mains cord or the controller may be defective. The
indicator lamp is lit but the tool does not start even if the
tool is switched on, the carbon brushes may be worn out,
or the controller, the motor or the ON/OFF switch may be
defective.
The red service indicator lamp lights up when the carbon
brushes are nearly worn out to indicate that the tool
needs servicing. After approx. 8 hours of use, the motor
will automatically be shut off.
