7 Operation

CAUTION

In the event of the drill bit sticking, the power tool will

pivot about its own axis. Always use the power tool with

the side handle fitted and hold it securely with both hands

so that the resulting opposing force causes the slip clutch

to release in the event of the drill bit sticking. Use clamps

or a vice to hold the workpiece securely.

CAUTION

During operation, wear protective gloves, especially

when inserting, adjusting and removing the insert

tool, because the insert tool can become hot during

use.

7.1 Preparing for use
7.1.1 Fitting the insert tool

5

CAUTION

Do not use drill bits with a C-type connection end in

a drill adapter. After inserting drill bits in the adapter,

check for firm seating and concentricity.

1. Set the forward / reverse switch to the middle posi-

tion or remove the battery from the power tool.

2. Check that the connection end of the insert tool is

clean and lightly greased. Clean it and grease it if

necessary.

NOTE

Make sure that not too much grease is ap-

plied.

3. Check that the sealing lip of the dust shield is clean

and in good condition. Clean the dust shield if nec-

essary or replace it if the sealing lip is found to

be damaged (please refer to the “Care and mainte-

nance” section).

4. Push the insert tool into the chuck and rotate it while

applying slight pressure until it engages in the guide

grooves.

5. Push the insert tool into the chuck until it is heard to

engage.

6. After insertion, check that the drill bit is held securely

in the chuck and turns concentrically.

7.1.2 Adjusting the depth gauge / side grip

6

CAUTION

Use only depth gauges not exceeding 180 mm (7") in

length.

DANGER

Check that the side handle is correctly secured in

place.

An insufficiently secured side handle may cause

personal injury.

1. Release the side grip clamping band by turning the

grip counterclockwise.

2. Pivot the side grip into the desired position.

3. Adjust the depth gauge to the desired drilling depth.

4. Tighten the side grip securely by turning the grip

section. This also clamps the depth gauge in posi-

tion.

7.1.3 Removing the tool

7

1. Set the forward / reverse switch to the middle posi-

tion or remove the battery from the power tool.

2. Open the chuck by pulling back the chuck release

sleeve.

3. Pull the insert tool out of the chuck.

7.2 Operation

CAUTION

Working on the material may cause it to splinter.

Wear

eye protection and protective gloves. Wear breathing

protection if no dust removal system is used.

Splin-

tering material presents a risk of injury to the eyes and

body.

CAUTION

The work generates noise.

Wear ear protectors.

Expo-

sure to noise can cause hearing loss.

7.2.1 Working at low temperatures

NOTE

The hammering mechanism works only when the power

tool has reached a minimum operating temperature.

Bring the drill bit briefly into contact with the base material

while allowing the power tool to run under no load until the

minimum operating temperature is reached. If necessary,

repeat this procedure until the hammering mechanism

begins to operate.

7.2.2 Forward / reverse

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.

For forward rotation, push the forward / reverse switch

on the side of the power tool toward the chuck in the

direction of the arrow.
