INSERTING BITS
Before all work on the machine itself, always set the
rotational direction switch to the middle position.
Clean and lightly grease the bit shaft.
Pull back the unlocking collar. Insert the tool while turning
into the tool holder until latches. Release the unlocking
collar. Check whether the bit is firmly seated.
Take care that the dust protection cap is not damaged.
Replace damaged dust protection cap!
REMOVING TOOLS
Slide the unlocking collar to the rear and pull out the tool.
OPTIONAL DRILL CHUCK (ACCESSORY)
For drilling work in metal, wood and plastic with drills that
have normal shafts, a drill chuck (13 mm max.chuck
opening) is available. The drill chuck is mounted on the
adapter (accessory) for screwdriver bits. All common drill
chucks with 1/2" X 20 UNF internal threads (13 mm max.
chuck opening) can be used.
MOUNTING THE CHUCK
Before all work on the machine itself, always set the
rotational direction switch to the middle position.
Clean the threads of the drill chuck (accessory) and the
adapter (accessory). Screw the drill chuck onto the
adapter and tighten the adapter in the bit holder the
same as a drill.
PRACTICAL TIPS
Do not drill hidden electrical lines or gas and water pipes.
Check the area to worked with a metal detector, for
example, before starting.
For metal, use only flawless, sharpened drills; for stone
and concrete, only masonry drills with hard metal inserts.
Always adapt the speed to the material to be worked and
the diameter of the drill.
HAMMER-DRILLING
Wear protective glasses and hearing
protection. Do not apply too much pressure.
The performance is not increased in this manner.
For hammer drilling, work only with protective glasses,
hearing protection and the auxiliary handle. Check before
putting into operation if the shift knob is latched in the
position.
DRILLING IN TILES
Start drilling slowly on the tile. After the tile is drilled
through, switch to hammer drilling.
SCREWDRIVING
Screwdriver bits can be inserted into the adapter (see
accessory). Commercially available bits with a hexagonal
dimension of 6.35mm (1/4") can be used.
The screwdriver bits are held in the adapter with a
spring ring. Use only bits with a hex fitting.
SLIP CLUTCH
If the tool become jammed or caught, the slip clutch
releases.
Remove the load from the machine immediately by
pulling back the drill.
Always hold the machine tightly with both hands and
assume a secure stance.
MAINTENANCE
Before all work on the machine itself, always set the
rotational direction switch to the middle position.
Always keep the ventilation slots clean.
Wipe off the accessible plastic parts regularly with a cloth
without cleaning agent.
