The cordless drill driver EINHELL TE-CD 18/40 LI BL is an 18 V battery-powered tool supplied with one 2.5 Ah rechargeable battery. It combines drilling and screwdriving functions in a compact, ergonomic body and features brushless motor technology for improved efficiency and longer service life. Adjustable torque settings and electronic speed control allow precise work in wood, metal and plastics, while a keyless chuck and integrated LED light improve handling in confined spaces.
Advantages
The brushless motor reduces wear and increases runtime compared with brushed alternatives, offering consistent power and less maintenance. Variable torque and two-speed gearbox provide control for delicate screwdriving and higher-speed drilling tasks. A compact, balanced design with a soft-grip handle ensures comfortable operation during extended use. The included 2.5 Ah lithium-ion battery delivers portable power and short recharge cycles, and the built-in LED illuminates the work area for better visibility.

How to use
Charge the supplied 2.5 Ah battery fully before first use according to the charger instructions. Insert the battery into the drill until it locks. Select the appropriate drill bit or screwdriver bit and secure it in the keyless chuck. Choose the torque setting and speed range that match the material and fastener; lower torque and lower speed are recommended for small screws and soft materials, higher torque and higher speed for drilling and tougher materials. Hold the tool with a firm two-handed grip when required, align the bit with the work surface, and operate the trigger smoothly to avoid sudden torque peaks. After use, remove the battery for safe storage and keep bits and accessories clean and dry.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use sharp, clean drill bits and match bit type to the material. When drilling metal, start with a small pilot hole and use cutting oil where appropriate. Allow the brushless motor to cool under heavy continuous loads and follow recommended duty cycles to prolong tool life. Store the battery in a cool, dry place and avoid deep discharge to maintain battery health.
