After the battery is charged, do not keep it in the charger. This shortens the life of the battery as a whole. Also, too hot or too cold room temperature in which the screwdriver works has a detrimental effect on battery life. Single battery mode is designed for five hours.
How to fix a bit or drill

The second way is to tighten the bit or drill with a rotating chuck, hold it with your other hand. Checking how you secured the bat is very simple. Try turning one screw and you will know if the bit is spinning or not.

The screwdriver has a scale with which you can adjustdirect rotational power. Turning the knob, you select the mode that you need, depending on the work that you intend to do. The same knob can be used to select the drilling mode. Just do not try to drill hard, concrete and stone surfaces with a screwdriver, so as not to disable it. For drilling hard surfaces, there are tools specially designed for this. Do not switch the regulator while the screwdriver is in operation. This may cause the instrument to malfunction. By knowing how to use your screwdriver, you can prolong its life.
Three operating modes can be selected using a special switch. Tightening mode, unscrewing mode and screw gun blocking mode. The third mode is needed for security. All these modes are very convenient to switch if you hold the screwdriver by the handle located above the battery. The handle is usually covered with a rubberized material and is therefore very safe to use. It ensures that the screwdriver does not slip out of your hand at the most inopportune moment. For greater confidence, you can fasten a screwdriver to your hand with a special strap.
Drilling mode
If you decide to use a screwdriver as a drill to drill a hole in wood or plastic, then in order for the hole to be of high quality, you need to place an even piece of wood under the objects you are drilling. This way you can avoid cracks and chips when drilling.
Drilling a hole in metalimplies the observance of certain rules. The place of the future hole must be punched. This will help prevent the drill from slipping on the metal surface. Having chosen the drilling mode on the screwdriver, do not forget that when drilling metal, drills often break at the exit from the metal. To avoid this, try not to press hard on the screwdriver while drilling. If the drill is stuck, then switching the screwdriver to the unscrewing mode will help to unscrew it. If you are drilling a small piece, use a vise to hold it.
