1. Fit suitable bits (see instructions for tting drills/bits).
2. Check that the torque setting ring is set to a suitable torque. If unsure, start with a low setting
and gradually increase until you nd the best setting.
3. Use a suitable speed for the job. Start by pressing in the power switch a little, and pressing it
in more if a higher speed is needed. Press the power switch carefully, so that you are in full
control all the time.
4. Only press the drill driver hard enough for the bit to remain xed in the screw head. It is easy
to damage the screw head, which makes it dicult to screw in the screw, or unscrew it.
DRILLING
WARNING: When drilling small holes the drill can fasten in the hole.
NOTE:
• When you are drilling a hole with a large diameter it is best to start with a small bit and then
continue with larger and larger bits until the hole is the right size. This will prevent the drill driver
from being overloaded.
• Remember to regularly pull out the drill when drilling deep holes, to remove residual material
from the hole.
• Switch o the drill driver immediately to prevent it from being damaged if the drill fastens in the
hole.
• Change the direction of rotation to left drive to pull out the drill.
• Hold the drill driver in line with the hole. The drill should preferably go into the workpiece at
right angles. The drill can break and fasten in the hole and/or cause personal injury if the angle
is changed while drilling.
• Reduce the pressure on the drill driver when the drill reaches the underside of the workpiece.
• Do not press too hard on the drill driver, give the drill time to do the job.
• Keep drills sharp.
Drilling in wood
NOTE:
• Use a wood drill or centre drill when drilling large diameter holes.
• Place a piece of wood behind the workpiece when drilling through holes, to avoid splintered edges.
1. Set the drill driver in drilling mode.
2. Press the power switch carefully, so that you are in full control all the time. Start drilling at low
speed to avoid the drill sliding to the side when you start. Increase the speed when the drill
starts to cut into the material.
