Fitting the side handle and depth stop (g.A,B)
u Turn the grip counter clockwise until you can slide the side
handle (7) onto the front of the tool as shown (g.A).
u Rotate the side handle into the desired position.
u Insert the depth stop(6) into the mounting hole as shown
(g.B).
u Set the drilling depth as described below.
u Tighten the side handle by turning the grip clockwise.
Fitting a drill bit (g.C)
u Open the chuck by turning the sleeve (5) counter clock-
wise.
u Insert the bit shaft (9) into the chuck (drill bit not included).
u Insert the chuck key(10) into each hole (8) in the side of
the chuck and turn clockwise until it is tight.
Removing and retting the chuck (g.D)
u Open the chuck as far as possible.
u Remove the chuck retaining screw, located in the chuck,
by turning it clockwise using a screwdriver.
u Tighten an Allen key into the chuck and strike it with a

with the chuck retaining screw.
Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace.Do
not overload.
Warning! Before drilling into walls, oors or
ceilings, check for the location of wiring and
pipes.
Selecting the direction of rotation (g.E)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward (clockwise)
rotation For loosening screws or removing a jammed drill bit,
use reverse (counter clockwise) rotation.
u To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse button
(3) to the left position.
u To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse button
(3) to the right. Warning! Never change the direction of
rotation while the motor is running.
Selecting the drilling mode
u For drilling in masonry, set the drilling mode selector (4) to
the position.
u For drilling in other materials and for screwdriving, set the
drilling mode selector to the position.
Setting the drilling depth (g.B)
u Slacken the side handle (7) by turning the grip counter
clockwise.
u Set the depth stop(6) to the desired positon. The maxi-
mum drilling depth is equal to the distance between the tip
of the drill bit and the front end of the depth stop.
u Tighten the side handle by turning the grip clokwise.
Switching on and off
u To switch the tool on, press the variable speed switch(1).
The tool speed depends on how far you press the switch.
As a general rule, use low speeds for large diameter drill
bits and high speeds for smaller diameter drill bits.
u For continuous operation, press the lock-on button (2) and
release the variable speed switch. This option is available
only at full speed in both forward and reverse modes.
u To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch. To
switch the tool off when in continuous operation, press the
variable speed switch again and release it.
u Based on the different applications, turn around the speed
dial(11) to control the maximum speed.
Drilling in metal
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying rm pressure on the tool. A smooth even ow of metal
chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant
when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass
which should be drilled dry.
NOTE: Large [5/16" (8 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm)] holes in steel can
be made easier if a pilot hole [5/32" (4 mm) to 3/16" (5 mm)]
is drilled rst.
Drilling in wood
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying rm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be made
with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may over-
heat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the utes.
Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a block
of wood.
