Drilling with a Solid Bit (Fig. 1)

  1. Insert the appropriate drill bit.
  2. Set the mode selector switch (F) to the hammerdrilling position.
  3. Set the electronic speed and impact control dial (G).
  4. Fit and adjust the side handle (C).
  5. Mark the spot where the hole is to be drilled.
  6. Place the drill bit on the spot and switch on the tool.
  7. Always switch off the tool when work is finished and before unplugging.

Drilling with a Core Bit (Fig. 1)

  1. Insert the appropriate core bit.
  2. Assemble the centerdrill into the core bit.
  3. Set the mode selector switch (F) to the hammerdrilling position.
  4. Turn the electronic speed and impact control dial (G) to a medium or high speed 

setting.

  5. Fit and adjust the side handle (C).
  6. Place the centerdrill on the spot and switch on the tool. Drill until the core 

penetrates into the concrete approx. 1 cm.

  7. Stop the tool and remove the centerdrill. Place the core bit back into the hole and 

continue drilling.

  8. When drilling through a structure thicker than the depth of the core bit, break 

away the round cylinder of concrete or core inside the bit at regular intervals.

    To avoid unwanted breaking away of concrete around the hole, first drill a hole 

the diameter of the centerdrill completely through the structure. Then drill the 

cored hole halfway from each side.

  9. Always turn the tool off when work is finished and before unplugging.

Chipping and Chiselling (Fig. 1)

  1. Insert the appropriate chisel and rotate it by hand to lock it into one of 

18 positions.

  2. Set the mode selector switch (F) to the hammering only position.
  3. Set the electronic speed and impact control dial (G).

WARNING: 

The use of a residual current device (RCD) protected supply with a 

rated residual current of 30 mA or less is recommended. The use of a RCD reduces 

the risk of electric shock.
