ASSEMBLY
 Warning! Before assembly, make sure that the tool  
is switched off and unplugged.
Fitting the side handle and depth stop (Fig. A and B)
 f Turn the grip counter clockwise until you can slide  
  the side handle (7) onto the front of the tool as shown  
  (Fig. A).
 f Rotate the side handle into the desired position.
 f Insert the depth stop (6) into the mounting hole  
  as shown (Fig. A).
 f Set the drilling depth as described below.
 f Tighten the side handle by turning the grip clockwise.
Fitting a drill bit (Fig. C)
 f Open the chuck by turning the sleeve (5) counter clockwise.
 f Insert the bit shaft (9) into the chuck (drill bit not included).
 f Insert the chuck key (10) into each hole (8) in the side  
  of the chuck and turn clockwise until it is tight.
Removing and refitting the chuck (Fig.D)
 f Open the chuck as far as possible.
 f Remove the chuck retaining screw, located in  
  the chuck, by turning it clockwise using a screwdriver.
 f Tighten an Allen key into the chuck and strike it with  
  a hammer as shown.
 f Remove the Allen key. Remove the chuck    
  by turning it counter clockwise.
 f To refit the chuck, screw it onto the spindle    
  and secure it with the chuck retaining screw.
USE
 Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace.    
Do not overload.
 Warning! Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings, 
check for the location of wiring and pipes.
Selecting the direction of rotation (Fig. 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.
 f To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse 
 button (3) to the left position.
 f 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
 f For drilling in masonry, set the drilling mode selector  
  (4) to the  position.
 f For drilling in other materials and for screwdriving,  
  set the drilling mode selector to the  position.
Setting the drilling depth (Fig. B)
 f Slacken the side handle (7) by turning the grip  
  counter clockwise.
 f Set the depth stop (6) to the desired positon.  
  The maximum drilling depth is equal to the distance  
  between the tip of the drill bit and the front end  
  of the depth stop.
 f Tighten the side handle by turning the grip clockwise.
Switching on and off
 f To switch the tool on, press the variable speed switch (1).
 f The tool speed depends on how far you press the switch.
 f As a general rule, use low speeds for large diameter  
  drill bits and high speeds for smaller diameter drill bits.
