Tips and tricks on how to work properly
The information and instructions in this user manual are provided to ensure your
personal safety and the safety of other persons. They are also intended to prevent
damage.
If you follow the tips and tricks provided below, you can complete your work with the
product even more safely and efficiently in a satisfactory manner.
− Please be sure to put down or pick up the product in a switched-off state.
Rotating tools can slide off.
− Use only drill bits that are suitable for the respective material to be machined.
− Do not use dull drill bits.
− Do not start drilling into tiles using the ‘Hammer drilling’ setting (see chapter
‘Setting the mode and direction of rotation’). If you do, the ceramic can shatter.
Drill at low speed. As soon as you have drilled through the hard glaze, you can
switch on the ‘Hammer drilling’ setting and finish drilling.
− For walls of unknown material or for plaster walls, drill a test hole without the
‘hammer drilling’ setting. If you want to drill a hole into concrete, the drill will
penetrate only a little or not at all. Plaster can be drilled into without excessive
force.
