1. It is essential that the safety precautions printed in
these operating instructions are read and observed.
2. It is essential that a new battery is charged correctly
when charged for the first time before initial use. Incor-
rect initial charging can lead to a permanent reduc-
tion of battery capacity.
– With the C 7/24 charger: Charge for 24 hours in
normal charging mode or for 12 hours in conditio-
ning mode.
– With the C 7/36-ACS charger: The charger detects
automatically whether initial charging or normal
charging is necessary.
-NOTE-
●
The tool may be used only with B24/2.0 NiCd, B24/2.4
NiCd or B24/3.0 NiMH batteries.
●
Battery performance drops at low temperatures.
●
Batteries should be stored at room temperature.
●
Never store batteries where they are exposed to the
heat of the sun, on a radiator, behind a motor vehicle
windscreen or at a window.
●
Never use the battery until the cells become fully dis-
charged. Change to the second battery as soon as a
drop in performance is noticed and recharge the bat-
tery immediately so that it is ready for re-use.
6.1 Fitting the side handle (option)
-NOTE-
An adjustable side handle (option) may be fitted in addi-
tion to the two integrated grips. The side handle permits
the tool to be held more securely and thus more com-
fortably, particularly in the event of inadvertently drilling
into a reinforcing bar.
1. Slacken the side handle clamping band by turning the
side handle in a counterclockwise direction.
2. Slide the side handle clamping band over the chuck
and onto the front section of the tool.
3. Bring the side handle into the desired position.
4. Secure the side handle by turning it in a clockwise
direction.
6. Assembly
7.2 Screwdriving using the bit adaptor
1.Insert the bit adaptor with TE-C connection end in the
chuck and lock the chuck.
2. Turn the function selector switch to the “drilling” symbol.
3.Set the forward / reverse switch to the desired direc-
tion of rotation.
7.3 Hammer drilling
1. Set the forward / reverse switch to forward rotation
.
2. Turn the function selector switch to the “hammer dril-
ling” symbol
.
7.4 Drilling using the quick-release chuck
1. Insert the quick-release chuck with TE-C connection
end in the chuck and lock the chuck.
2. Turn the function selector switch to the “drilling” symbol.
-CAUTION-
A high torque may be transferred to the operator if the
tool stalls while drilling with large-diameter drill bits and
hole saws. Always hold the tool with both hands on the
grips provided.
7.5 Switching on and off
Should a sticking drill bit cause the motor to stall for
longer than 2–3 seconds, the tool must be switched off
in order to avoid damage to it.
1. The speed of the tool can be controlled smoothly
between zero and maximum by pressing the on / off
switch slowly.
7. Operation
-CAUTION-
●
The drilling or screwdriving procedure
may cause the material to splinter.
●
Splintering material may cause injury
to the body, respiratory passages and
the eyes.
●
Wear eye and breathing protection.
-CAUTION-
●
Noise is emitted by the tool and the
drilling or screwdriving procedure.
●
Excessive noise may damage the
hearing.
●
Wear ear protection.
7.1 Setting forward or reverse rotation
The direction of rotation can be selected by operating the
forward / reverse push switch
. An interlock prevents
operation of the switch while the motor is running. When
in the middle position, the on / off switch is locked.
– Forward rotation: Push the forward / reverse switch
to the right (as seen from the direction in which the
tool is used).
– Reverse rotation: Push the forward / reverse switch
to the left (as seen from the direction in which the tool
is used).
