opment, the specifications herein are subject to change
without notice.

Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety
instructions.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
ENB050-2
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. Wear eye protection, dust mask and hearing pro-
tection.
3. Ventilate your work area adequately.
4. Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
bit immediately.
5. Check for the proper clearance beneath the
workpiece before cutting so that the bit will not
strike a hard surface such as the floor, work-
bench, etc.
6. Do not cut metal objects such as nails and
screws. Inspect for and remove all nails, screws
and other foreign material from the workpiece
before operation.
7. Check that the bit is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on. Always
hold the tool with two hands while switching the
tool on. The motor torque can cause the tool to
turn.
8. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate improperly installed bit.
9. Make sure that the shaft lock is released before
the switch is turned on.
10. Always use with the shoe securely attached to
the tool and positioned flat and firmly against
the workpiece.
11. Hold the tool firmly.
12. Do not perform any operation using your hands
to support or guide the workpiece.
13. Keep hands away from moving parts.
14. Do not use this tool for drilling.
15. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
16. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to
a complete stop before removing the bit from
workpiece.
17. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operation; it may be extremely hot and
could burn your skin.
18. Always lead the power supply cord away from
the tool towards the rear.
19. Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the
correct shank diameter and which are suitable
for the speed of the tool.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing bit (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the bit.
• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit, or
the collet cone will break.
To install the bit, insert the bit all the way into the collet
cone. Press the shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary
and use the wrench to tighten the collet nut securely.
NOTE:
When using the bit with 6.35 mm (1/4”) shank diameter,
first remove the adapter from the collet cone, then install
the bit.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
Changing the collet cone (Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before changing the collet cone.
• Use the correct size collet cone and adapter for the bit
which you intended to use.
• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit, or
the collet cone will break.
To change the collet cone, loosen the collet nut and
remove. Remove installed collet cone and adapter and
replace with desired collet cone and adapter. Reinstall
collet nut.
