power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in
damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit and
dry. Try to prevent the device from getting wet or
being exposed to humidity. Do not leave it outside
overnight. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• The power supply cable should be checked
regularly and, before using it, make sure the cable
is not damaged or worn out. If the cable is not in
good condition, do not use the appliance; take it to
an authorized service centre.
• When tool is used outdoor, only use an extension
cable that is suitable for outdoor work and which is
marked for this specific use. Keep it away from the
working area, from damp, wet or oily surfaces and
away from heat and fuels.
• Avoid any accidental starting: make sure the
switch is “off” before plugging it in.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on.
• Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn
ON or OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
WARNING! During the use of the tool,
some dust containing chemicals known to
cause cancer, may occur. Some of these
chemicals are: lead from lead based paints, crystalline
silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber and other dangerous products. If dust
is present, your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals, any time
you do pulverulent operations, work in a well
ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• If the appliance strikes a foreign body, examine the
device for signs of damage and carry out any necessary
repairs before restarting and continuing to work.
• If the appliance starts to vibrate abnormally, turn
it off and check for the cause immediately. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
• Always switch off the appliance and wait until
the device completely stops whenever you leave the
machine, before carrying out maintenance, before
checking, cleaning or working on the appliance.
• Wear suitable working clothes, long trousers
and solid shoes. Do not operate the appliance when
barefoot or wearing open sandals.
• Use safety equipment!
• It is forbidden to move or modify any of the
internal parts of the device.
Specific safety rules
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the moving parts of
the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Unpacking
When unpacking, check to make sure that all
components are included. Refer to the drawings
on this manual. If any parts are missing or broken,
please call IVT assistance center.

Switching on and off
Before connecting the device to the electric power
supply, make sure that the main supply voltage
is 230V/50Hz and being suitable for use only in
premises having a service current capacity equal
to or greater than 100A per phase with a normal
voltage of 400/230V.
Switching on:
• (The variable speed thumbwheel (4) should be
set on max. position)
Press the On/Off switch (3) with bigger or lighter
force, drilling rate can be regulated at will.
