CAUTION
The tool may get hot during use. Wear protective gloves.
CAUTION
The power tool may suddenly swing to the side (rotate about its own
axis) when drilling, hammer drilling or screwdriving. Always use the
power tool with the side handle fitted and hold it securely with both
hands.
CAUTION
To avoid injuries caused by the insert tool, wear protective gloves when
changing insert tools.
6.1 Setting forward or reverse rotation 5
NOTE
The forward / reverse switch is used to select the direction of rotation of the
drive spindle. An interlock prevents switching while the motor is running.
The control switch is locked when the forward / reverse switch is in the
middle position. Push the forward / reverse switch to the left (when the
power tool is held in the working direction) to select forward rotation. Push
the forward / reverse switch to the right (when the power tool is held in the
working direction) to select reverse rotation.
6.2 Speed selection with the 3-speed gear selector 6
WARNING
Large and heavy insert tools must only be operated in first gear. There
is otherwise a risk that the tool will be damaged when it is switched off or,
under unfavorable conditions, the chuck might be detached.
