e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s opera-
tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali fi ed repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRILL/DRIV-
ERS
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails
and other elements in your workpiece; remove them
before you start working
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as
the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool
(tools with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be con-
nected to a 220V supply)
• Use only accessories with an allowable speed
matching at least the highest no-load speed of the
tool
• This tool should not be used by people under the age
of 16 years
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords
with a capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the
tool
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working,
do not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect
the plug
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a quali fi ed person
• If the drill bit becomes unexpectedly jammed (caus-
ing a sudden, dangerous reaction), immediately
switch off the tool
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, im-
mediately switch off the tool and disconnect the
plug•
Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more se-
curely than by hand)
• Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where the
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own pow-
er cord (contact with a “live” wire will also make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock
the operator)
• Use suitable detectors to fi nd hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to
fi re or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion; pen-
etrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful (contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders); wear a dust mask
and work with a dust extraction device when con-
nectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classi fi ed as carcinogenic
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunc-
tion with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a com-
plete standstill
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ON-
LY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live)
wire in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the
plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this
tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left unat-
tended
USE
• On/off
• Speed control for smooth starting
• Changing direction of rotation
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
• Changing bits
- insert the bit as deep as possible in the chuck
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
• Torque control
- output torque will increase as clutch ring D is rotated
from 1 to 20; position E will lock up the clutch to permit
drilling or driving heavy duty work
- when turning in a screw,
fi rst try position 1
and increase until the desired depth has been reached
• Holding and guiding the tool 0
! while working, always hold the tool at the greycoloured
grip area(s)
- keep ventilation slots G uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the tool
do the work for you
