Drilling
u
For hammer drilling in masonry and concrete, set the
operating mode selector (4) to the
s

u
When hammering, the tool should not bounce and run
smoothly. If necessary, increase the speed.
Hammering

For hammering with spindle lock, and for light chiselling
and chipping, set the operating mode selector (4) to the
q

u
Make sure the forward/reverse switch is in the forward
position.

When changing from hammer drilling to chiselling, turn
the chisel to the desired position. If resistance is felt
during mode change, slightly turn the chisel to engage the
spindle lock.
Warning!
If your hammer is a 1 mode unit (STEL501), It
only has one function - hammer drilling. It can’t select operat-
ing mode.
Selecting the direction of rotation
This function is included on only certain models (STEL503).
For drilling, and for chiselling, use forward (clockwise) rotation.
For removing a jammed drill bit, use reverse (counterclock-
wise) rotation.

To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
(3) to the left.

to the right.
Warning!
Never change the direction of rotation while the
motor is running.
Setting the drilling depth (fig. C)
u
Slacken the side handle (6) by turning the grip counter-
clockwise.

Set the depth stop (7) to the desired position. The maxi-
mum drilling depth is equal to the distance between the tip
of the drill bit and the front end of the depth stop.

Switching on and off
