Hold  the  ring  and  turn  the  sleeve  counterclockwise  to 
open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as 
it  will  go.  Hold  the  ring  firmly  and  turn  the  sleeve 
clockwise to tighten the chuck. 
To  remove  the  bit,  hold  the  ring  and  turn  the  sleeve 
counterclockwise. 

 

OPERATION 

Screwdriving operation 

   

003955 

 
Place  the  point  of  the  driver  bit  in  the  screw  head  and 
apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then 
increase the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger 
as soon as the clutch cuts in. 

 

NOTE: 

• 

Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in 
the  screw  head,  or  the  screw  and/or  bit  may  be 
damaged. 

• 

When  driving  wood  screws,  predrill  pilot  holes  to 
make driving easier and to prevent splitting of the 
workpiece. See the chart.

NOTE: 

• 

If the tool is operated continuously until the battery 
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery. 

 

Drilling operation 

First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer points to 
the 

  marking. Then proceed as follows. 

Drilling in wood 

When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with 
wood  drills  equipped  with  a  guide  screw.  The  guide 
screw  makes  drilling  easier  by  pulling  the  bit  into  the 
workpiece. 

Drilling in metal 

To  prevent  the  bit  from  slipping  when  starting  a  hole, 
make an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at 
the  point  to  be  drilled.  Place  the  point  of  the  bit  in  the 
indentation and start drilling. 
Use  a  cutting  lubricant  when  drilling  metals.  The 
exceptions  are  iron  and  brass  which  should  be  drilled 
dry. 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up 
the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only 
serve  to  damage  the  tip  of  your  bit, decrease the 
tool performance and shorten the service life of the 
tool. 

• 

There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit 
at  the  time  of  hole  break  through.  Hold  the  tool 
firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break 
through the workpiece. 

• 

A  stuck  bit  can  be  removed  simply  by  setting  the 
reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back 
out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you 
do not hold it firmly. 

• 

Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar 
hold-down device. 

• 

If the tool is operated continuously until the battery 
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
