To remove the battery (3), press the release button (4) and
pull the battery out of the power tool. Do not use force to
do this.

Battery charge indicator

The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the
state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only
possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is
not in operation.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or
show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat-
tery is removed.
If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery
charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be
replaced.

Changing the Tool (see figures A and B)
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
When working with an application tool, ensure that
u
the application tool is connected securely to the tool
holder. If the application tool is not securely connected to
the tool holder, it can come off during operation.
Inserting the application tool
GDR 18 V-160:
Pull the locking sleeve (2) forward, guide the application tool
(1) into the tool holder up to the stop and release the locking
sleeve (2) to lock the application tool.

Only use screwdriver bits with ball catch (9) (DIN 3126-
E6.3). Other screwdriver bits (11) can be inserted using a
universal bit holder with ball catch (10).
GDX 18 V-180:
Slide the application tool (12) onto the square drive of the
tool holder (1).
Due to the way the system operates, the application tool
(12) will move around slightly in the tool holder (1); this has
no influence on the function/safety.

Removing
Pull the locking sleeve (2) forward and remove the applica-
tion tool.
Operation

Method of Operation

The tool holder (1) (with the application tool) is driven by an
electric motor via a gear and impact mechanism.
The working procedure is divided into two phases:
Capacity
Screwing in and tightening (impact mechanism in action).
60−100 %
The impact mechanism is activated as soon as the screwed
30−60 %
connection runs tight and load is therefore put on the motor.
The impact mechanism then converts the power of the mo-
5−30 %
tor to steady rotary impacts. When loosening screws or nuts,
0−5 %
the process is reversed.

Starting Operation

Inserting the Battery
Set the rotational direction switch (5) to the centre position
to protect the power tool from being switched on accident-
Capacity
ally.
80−100 % Push the charged battery (3) into the base of the power tool
from the front until the battery is securely locked.
60−80 %
Set the rotational direction (see figure C)
40−60 %
The rotational direction switch (5) is used to change the ro-
20−40 %
tational direction of the power tool. However, this is not pos-
5−20 %
sible while the on/off switch (6) is being pressed.
0−5 %
Right rotation: To drive in screws and tighten nuts, press
the rotational direction switch (5) through to the left stop.
Left Rotation: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts,
press the rotational direction switch (5) through to the right
stop.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch
(6).
The lamp (7) lights up when the on/off switch (6) is lightly or
fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in
poor lighting conditions.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (6).
Adjusting the Speed
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by
pressing in the on/off switch (6) to varying extents.
