Screwdriver use
Note:
Always use a universal bit holder when working with screwdriver bits. Do not mount
screwdriver bits directly into the chuck.
1. Select gear 1 using the Gear Switch (4).
2. Rotate the Mode Selector (3) to Drive.
3. Adjust the drill to the appropriate torque setting (see ‘Torque control’ )
- When driving screws NEVER use the machine in drill mode.
Note:
If in doubt which torque setting best suits the application, start with a low setting and
increase, should more torque be required (e.g. if the screw is not being driven far enough into
the work piece).
Drilling masonry and concrete
1. Select gear 1 using the Gear Switch (4)
2. Rotate the Mode Selector (3) to the hammer drill position.
- Hammer drill mode should be used for drilling into masonry and concrete.
- Apply moderate pressure to the rear of the drill, in line with the drill bit.
- Use masonry drill bits only. Ensure that the bit size is within the maximum capacity of the
machine (see ‘Specification’ ).
- DO NOT apply too much pressure. If debris blocks the drill hole, run the drill slowly and
remove the bit from the hole. Repeat until hole is cleared.
WARNING:
The drill bit, especially the tip, will become very hot when drilling masonry and
concrete.
DO NOT touch the bit and never allow it to come into contact with combustible materials.
WARNING:
DO NOT inhale masonry dust. Wear adequate breathing protection. Dust from
masonry, concrete and similar substances is harmful and may be toxic.
Drilling wood
1. Select the appropriate gear using the Gear Switch (4)
2. Rotate the Mode Selector (3) to the drill position
- Ensure that drill bits are suitable for wood, and are within the maximum capacity of this
machine (see ‘Specification’ )
WARNING:
DO NOT inhale wood dust. Wear adequate breathing protection. Some wood dusts
may be toxic.
Drilling meta
1. Select the appropriate gear using the Gear Switch (4)
2. Rotate the Mode Selector (3) to the drill position
- Ensure that drill bits are suitable for the grade of metal being drilled, and are within the
maximum capacity of the machine (see ‘Specification’ ).
- To ensure accuracy, mark the intended hole position using a hammer and centre punch.
WARNING:
The drill bit and the work piece will become very hot when drilling metal. DO NOT
touch the bit and never allow it to come into contact with combustible materials when hot. Always
use a suitable lubricant or cutting fluid, and drill at appropriate speeds.
- ONLY apply moderate pressure to the drill bit, ensuring efficient cutting and prolonged drill bit
life.
