General safety advice for electrical power tools / Start-up Start-up / Operation
For drilling, push the selector to the setting for
drilling, in that you adjust the torque pre-selector
to the position .
2 Gear Drive
CAUTION! Move the gear selector switch 1
only after the device has come to a standstill.
Failure to observe this advice may result in damage
to the device.
In the first gear (Gear selector switch 1
in Position: 1)
A speed of up to approx. 400 rpm can be achieved
and a high torque. This setting is intended for use with
all screwing tasks and for accessories (see example
Fig. B).
In the second gear (Gear selector switch
1
in Position: 2)
It achieves a speed of up to approx. 1300 rpm, for
the carrying out of drilling tasks (see example Fig. A).
Operation
Switching ON / OFF
Switching on:
To start the appliance squeeze on the ON /
OFF switch
3 and then keep it pressed down.
The LED working light 8 comes on with a slightly
or fully pressed ON /OFF switch 3 and illumi-
nates the working area in poor lighting conditions.
Switching off:
To stop the appliance, release the ON / OFF
switch
3 .
Setting the speed
The ON / OFF switch 3 has a variable speed con-
trol device. Slight pressure on the ON / OFF switch
3 will cause the rotation speed to slow down. With
increased pressure, the rotational speed will increase.
Note: The integrated engine brake means that the
device will come to a fast standstill.
Switching direction of rotation
To switch the direction of rotation, push the
direction of rotation switch
2 to either the
right or to the left.
Tips and Tricks
Before you use the appliance, check to see
that the screw or drill bit is properly fitted, i.e.
located centrally in the chuck.
Screw bits are designated with their dimensions
and their shape. If you are unsure, always try
the particular screw bit out to see whether it sits
in the screw head without any free play.
Torque:
Smaller screws and bits in particular can be
easily damaged if you adjust the appliance
with too high a torque and / or rotation speed.
Hard screwdriving conditions (into metal):
Particularly high torques can occur, for example
with metal screws tightened by socket tool bits.
Select a lower rotation speed.
Soft screwdriving conditions (e.g. into
soft wood):
You should also select a low speed in order not to
damage the wood workpiece surface through con-
tact with the metal screw head. Use a countersinker.
When drilling into wood, metal and other
materials, take note of the following advice:
With small diameter drill bits use a high drill
speed. For large diameter drill bits, use a low
drill speed.
For hard materials, select a low drill speed.
For soft materials, select a high drill speed.
Secure or fix down the workpiece (if possible)
in a clamp or vice.
