Operating Instructions
the operating mode and to set the torque for tightening
screws. Large screws and hard workpiece materials require
a higher torque setting than small screws and soft workpiece
materials.
u
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar to
the drilling position symbol
u
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If you
do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
u
Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
u
u
If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is achieved,
increase the collar setting and continue tightening the
screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this
setting for the remaining screws.
Warning! Make certain the lock-off button (2) is engaged to
prevent switch actuation before installing or removing acces-
sories.
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
u
Grasp the rear half of the chuck with one hand and use
your other hand to rotate the front half in the counterclock-
wise direction, as viewed from the chuck end.
u
Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and
tighten securely by holding the rear half of the chuck and
rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction as
viewed from the chuck end.
Warning! Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other ac-
cessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the
tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur
when changing accessories.
For drilling and tightening screws, use forward (clockwise)
rotation. For loosening screws or removing a jammed drill bit,
use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
u
To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
(2) to the left.
u
To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
to the right.
Warning! Never change the direction of rotation while the
motor is running.
Drilling/screwdriving
u
Select forward or reverse rotation using the forward/re-
verse slider (2).
u
To switch the tool on, press the switch (1). The tool speed
depends on how far you press the switch.
u
To switch the tool off, release the switch.
Hints for optimum use
Drilling
u
Use sharp drill bits only.
u
Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the
Safety Instructions.
u
Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
u
Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the
Safety Instructions.
u
Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until
the hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping
out of it.
u
Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall
u
action.
u
DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL
OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE
TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
u
Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure
and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
u
Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled
hole. This will help reduce jamming.
u
Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
Drilling in wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used
for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp and
should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips
Drilling in metal
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions
are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting
lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil.
Screwdriving
u
Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
u
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
u
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
with the screw
