Before first use / Preparing the tool for use

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.

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.

Preparing the tool for use

Switching ON /OFF

Switching on:

To start the appliance squeeze on the ON / OFF switch 4 and then keep it pressed down.

Switching off:

To stop the appliance, release the ON / OFF switch 4 .

Adjusting the speed

The ON / OFF switch

4

has a variable speed

regulator.

 

 

The ON / OFF switch

 

has a variable speed

4

control device. Slight pressure on the ON / OFF switch 4 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 3 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 contact with the metal screw head. Use a coun- tersinker.

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.

Mark the intended position of the hole with a centre punch or a nail and select a low drill speed for drilling.

Take the rotating drill bit out of the hole frequently so that swarf or drill dust can be re-moved and the hole and tool is ventilated.

Drilling in metal:

Use 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.
