To open the bit storage compartment insert
index finger in recess (as illustrated) and
pull locking lever in direction of spindle.
The bit compartment holds a maximum of
6 screwdriver bits.
Take the drill out of the hole from time to time to remove dust.
Switch to percussion-drilling for concrete, hard bricks and tiles, stone, hard cement,
and marble (but not when drilling the surface of marble).
For tiles, paving-stones, soft bricks and tiles, soft cement, breeze-block and plaster,
switch to normal drilling.
Use percussion carbide tipped masonry drill-bits.
When drilling a hard, smooth surface (e.g. tiles), cover the point to be drilled with
adhesive tape in order to prevent the drill tip from skidding.
Center punch the point you have marked for drilling.
Always hold sheet metal firmly in a vice.
Lay a block of wood under thin metal to prevent it from distorting.
Use HSS spiral drill bits. (For white cast iron, use drill bits with special tips.)
Before drilling large-diameter holes, first drill a small pilot hole.
Use lubricant:
Steel: Oil
Aluminium: Turpentine, paraffin
Brass, copper, cast iron: no lubricant, but take the drill out of the hole frequently to
cool it off.
Center punch the point you have marked for drilling. To prevent the wood from
splintering when the drill bit tip breaks through, lay a piece of scrap wood underneath
it, or drill from both sides.The maximum drill-diameter can only be reached with a
Forstner–drill bit.
Use screwdriver bits of the appropriate size and shape.
Suitable screws can be driven into softwood without pre-drilling.
Pre-drill into hardwood or for screws of large diameter.
Pre-drill further for countersunk screws.
For woodscrews threaded less than their full length, pre-drill approx. half the length
of the screw.
Under high strain in anti–clockwise
operation, the chuck might become loose.
Please use the bit reception to loosen screws in anti–clockwise operation. (not for
SB2–700).
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
If the machine is mainly used for percussion drilling, regularly remove collected
dust from the chuck. To remove the dust hold the machine with the chuck facing
down vertically, and completely open and close the chuck. The collected dust will
fall from the chuck.
It is recommended to regularly use cleaner (Id.No. 4932 6217 19) for the clamping
jaws and the clamping jaw borings.
In order to guarantee constant readiness for operation, the machine should be
checked for worn carbon brushes at one of the AEG after–sales service agencies.
Use only AEG accessories and spare parts. Should components need to be
replaced which have not been described, please contact one of our AEG service
agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses).
If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please state the ten–digit
No. as well as the machine type printed on the label and order the drawing at your
local service agents or directly at: Atlas Copco Electric Tools GmbH, Postfach 320,
D–71361 Winnenden.
