development, the specifications herein are subject
to change without prior notice.
• Note: Specifications may differ from country to
country.
Power supply
The machine 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 enclosed Safety
instructions.
These symbols mean:
Read instruction manual.
DOUBLE INSULATION
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the machine
in high locations.
2. Hold the machine firmly.
3. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
4. When drilling into walls, floors or wherever
‘‘live’’ electrical wires may be encountered, DO
NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE
MACHINE! Hold the machine by the insulated
grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if
you drill into a ‘‘live’’ wire.
5. Do not leave the machine running. Operate the
machine only when hand-held.
6. Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing drill bit (Fig. 1)
Important:
Always be sure that the machine is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the bit.
To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will
go. Tighten the chuck by hand. Place the chuck key in
each of the three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure
to tighten all three chuck holes evenly.
To remove the bit, turn the chuck key counterclock-
wise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
After using the chuck key, be sure to return it to the
original position.
Switch action
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the machine, always check to see
that the paddle switch actuates properly and returns
to the ‘‘OFF’’ position when released.
For machines with lock-off lever (Fig. 2)
To prevent the switch lever from being accidentally
squeezed, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the
machine, slide the lock-off lever in the direction of the
arrow and squeeze the switch lever. Machine speed is
increased by increasing pressure on the switch lever.
Release the switch lever to stop. A speed control
screw is provided so that maximum machine speed
can be limited (variable).
For machines without lock-off lever (Fig. 3)
To start the machine, simply squeeze the switch lever.
Machine speed is increased by increasing pressure
on the lever. Release the lever to stop. A speed
control lever is provided so that maximum machine
speed can be limited (variable).
Reversing switch action (For DA3000R only)
(Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• The switch lever (paddle switch) cannot be
squeezed with the reversing switch knob positioned
halfway between
marking and marking.
If it is squeezed forcibly, the machine may be
damaged.
• Always check the direction of rotation before drilling.
• You cannot obtain reversing switch action with the
switch lever squeezed since the reversing switch
knob is thereby locked.
