General operation
Drilling into brickwork/masonry
> An impact drill is ideal for drilling in normal masonry. If you want to drill into very hard
concrete, you may require a rotary hammer.
> Use an inspection device to ensure that you do not accidentally drill into a cable or
pipe. Wear protective glasses when drilling.
> Determine the exact position of the holes and mark them using a pencil. A cross line
laser will make this task easier for you.
> Choose a masonry drill bit with the same diameter as the fixing you want to use.
Mount the drill bit securely in the centre of the chuck.
> Place the drill bit tip perpendicular to the wall. If you do not exactly know the condition
of the wall material, start drilling without impact and only switch the impact function
on when there is resistance. Do not apply pressure to the machine until the drill bit
has gripped firmly in the material.
> Drill the hole so that it is deep enough for both the fixing and the screw to fit into
fully. Use a depth stop if necessary. Leave the drill bit running at low speed when
you pull it out.
> Remove the drilling dust from the hole. This will ensure that the fixing has better grip.
NOTE:
When operating the product at low speed for a longer period, the motor
may overheat. Therefore take breaks of approx. 5 minutes on a regular basis
to let the motor cool down.
Screw driving
> Set the torque ring to screw driving mode (numbers).
> Adjust the torque setting according to the screw size and workpiece material.
> Pre-drill the holes with a smaller diameter of the screw to be screwed.
> Hold the product perpendicular to the screw to be screwed in/out. Holding it at an
angle may cause slipping or jamming of the driver bit.
> Place the tip of the driver bit directly on the screw first and then switch the product
on. Only apply as much pressure as necessary to keep the screw in place and the
driver bit in contact with the screw head. Too much pressure will cause damage to
the screw head and driver bit; too little pressure will cause the driver bit to slide away.
> Remove blocked and stuck screws by changing the rotational direction.
