REVERSING SWITCH ACTION
To change the chuck rotation direction, move the reverse switch toward the lock button.
This will cause the drill to turn clockwise, for normal drilling. Otherwise, the drill will turn
counter-clockwise, backing drill bits and screws out of their holes.
RUNNING THE DRILL
• Plug in the tool.
• Hold the tool firmly. Squeeze the trigger to run the drill.
• Engage the lock-on button when squeezing the trigger switch.
• to disengage the lock-on button, squeeze the trigger.
DRILLING IN WOOD
When drilling holes in wood, use a wood drill with a guide screw. The guide makes it
bore naturally by itself so you do not need to apply any pressure to the tool.
DRILLING METAL
To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indent with a centre punch
and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the tip of the bit in the indentation and start
drilling. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass,
which should be drilled dry.
MAINTENANCE
The tool does not require any special maintenance. Make sure that foreign bodies do not
penetrate into the chuck. This tool is fitted with a safety system which automatically stops
the tool when carbon brushes of the rotor need to be replaced. It is then also the time to
have your tool overhauled.
INSTALLING OR REMOVING A DRILL BIT
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or
removing a bit. Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counter-clockwise to open the chuck
jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve
clockwise to tighten the chuck.
SWITCH ACTION
Tool speed is increased by increasing the pressure on the trigger. To start the tool, simply
pull the trigger. Release the trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and
then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the trigger fully
and then release it.
WARNING: the voltage specifications on the rating plate must correspond with the supply
voltage.
