• Rotate the side handle to the desired position
and tighten the handle.
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Be aware of the location of pipework
and wiring.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool.
Excessive force does not speed up
drilling but decreases tool performance
and may shorten tool life.
• To minimise stalling on break-through,
progressively reduce the drill point
pressure towards the end of the operation.
• Keep the motor running when pulling the
bit back out of a drilled hole. This will
help prevent jamming.
Prior to operation:
• Make sure your battery pack is (fully) charged.
• Insert the appropriate bit.
• Mark the spot where the hole is to be drilled.
• Select forward or reverse rotation.
Switching on and off (fig. A)
• To run the tool, press the variable speed switch (1).
The pressure exerted on the variable speed switch
determines the tool speed.
• To stop the tool, release the switch.
The drill is equipped with a brake to stop
the tool as soon as the variable speed
switch is fully released.
Screwdriving (fig. A)
• Select forward or reverse rotation using the
slider (2).
• Select the rotary drilling mode using the mode
selector (4).
Drilling (fig. A)
• Select the drilling mode using the mode selector (4).
Drilling in metal
• Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass which
should be drilled dry.
Drilling in wood
• Holes in wood can be made with the same twist
drills used for metal. These bits may overheat
unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from
the flutes.
• For larger holes use Auger bits.
• Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that
may splinter.
Percussion drilling
Drilling in masonry
• Use carbide-tipped masonry bits. Keep even
force on the drill. A smooth, even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
Maintenance
Your Elu Power Tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
Lubrication
Your Power Tool requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning
• Unplug the charger before cleaning the housing
with a soft cloth.
• Remove the battery pack before cleaning your
Power Tool.
