Operation
Intended Use
The impact drill is intended for impact drilling in brick, concrete and stone as
well as for drilling in wood, metal and plastic.
Machines with electronic control and right/left rotation are also suitable for
screwdriving and thread-cutting.
Before first Use
Remove the impact drill from the packaging. Keep packaging material out of
reach of small children. There is risk of suffocation!
Important: Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug!
Assembling the Auxiliary Handle and Depth Limiter
1. Assemble the auxiliary handle (11) either on the left or on the right side of
the drill spindle (3), depending on whether you are left or right handed, or to
suit the drilling requirements accordingly. Put the auxiliary handle on the
drill spindle. Take care that the handgrip is pushed onto the flange until the
two edges on the drive spindle casing lock firmly into one of the openings
of the auxiliary handle clamp-rings to increase the transverse stability of the
auxiliary handle.
2. Fasten the auxiliary handle by turning the handgrip clockwise.
3. At any time you can turn the handgrip of the auxiliary handle counter
clockwise to change the angle/the position of the auxiliary handle.
4. If required, you can insert the depth limiter (13) into the corresponding
retainer (10) directly above the handgrip.
Inserting the Tool Bit
1. The impact drill is fitted with a keyed drill chuck (1). Insert the desired tool
bit and tighten it manually. Then use the provided drill chuck key (13) to
fasten the bit firmly by tightening the chuck evenly at the position of each of
the three holes in the jaws of the chuck.
2. Always use a bit holder when working with screwdriver bits.
3. Only use sharpened High Strength Steel (HSS) drill bits for drilling in metal.
Appropriate drill bits are available though the Westfalia tool bit program.
