QTips and Tricks
When screwing into wood, metal and other materials, take note of the following advice:
jBefore you use the appliance, check to see that the screw or drill bit is properly fitted, i.e. located centrally in the chuck.
jScrew 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:
jSmaller screws and bits in particular can be easily damaged if you adjust the appliance with too high a torque and/or rotation speed.
Hard screw bed:
jParticularly high torques can occur, for example with metal screws tightened by socket tool bits. Select a lower rotation speed.
Soft screw bed:
jYou should also select a low speed in order not to damage the wood workpiece surface through contact with the metal screw head. Use a coun- tersinker.
When drilling into wood, metal and other materials, take note of the following advice:
jWith small diameter drill bits use a high drill speed. For large diameter drill bits, use a low drill speed.
jFor hard materials, select a low drill speed.

For soft materials, select a high drill speed.
jSecure or fix down the workpiece (if possible) in a clamp or vice.
jMark the intended position of the hole with a centre punch or a nail and select a low drill speed for drilling.
jTake the rotating drill bit out of the hole frequently so that swarf or drill dust can be
Drilling in metal:
jUse a metal drill bit (HSS). For the best results, you should cool the bit with oil. Metal drill bits can also be used to drill into plastic.
Drilling in wood:
jNormally you should use a wood drill with a centring point. For deep holes, use an auger type bit. For large diameter holes, use a forst- ner bit. You can screw small screws into soft wood without the need for
QCleaning and Maintenance
mCAUTION! Place the direction of rotation switch 3 into the middle position before carrying out any tasks on the device, e.g. changing tools or maintenance, or before transporting or storing the device. Inadvertent operation of the ON / OFF switch 4 may result in injury.
Always pull the mains adapter 10 out of the mains socket and remove the battery pack before you clean or maintain the device.
