The machine is intended only for use in the household.

5 - General safety instructions for handling power tools

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
h) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

7 - Installation and setting

Mounting the depth stop

Loosen the handle (7) so that the hexagonal screw exposes the opening for the depth stop (Fig. 2). Slide the depth stop (8) into the opening and tighten the handle.

Setting the depth stop

• Fit the drill and lock into place.
• Loosen the handle.
• Slide the depth stop to the same length as the fitted drill. Do this by pressing it up against a level wall.
• Use the scale on the depth stop to read off the value in mm, and deduct the required drilling depth from this figure.
• Set this value on the depth stop and tighten the handle.

Changing tools (Fig. 3)

CAUTION! Pull the power plug.

The machine has a quick-action chuck (6) which enables tools to be changed without the need of a key. An addition securing mechanism prevents the chuck from opening as a result of vibrations.

- Opening the chuck

Pull back the securing ring (B). Open the chuck by turning the front ring (A) to the left and then change the tool.

Closing and securing the chuck

Close the chuck by turning the ring (A) to the right and secure by pushing the ring (B) forwards.

Selecting the revolutions

In order to ensure materials are damaged, observe the revolution recommendations made by the accessory manufacturer.

Stepless revolution selection using the adjusting wheel on the on/off switch (5):

Turn the adjusting wheel in the + direction as far as it will go to get the highest number of revolutions.

Turn the adjusting wheel in the direction as far as it will go to get the lowest number of revolutions.

The revolutions can be applied steplessly by means of pressure on the on/off button up to the value set on the wheel.

When using continuous operating with the on/off switch locked, the machine operates at the pre-selected revolutions.

Important: When the machine is operating, the clockwise/anticlockwise direction switch may not be used. As a result, wait until it has come to a complete standstill. Work to machine that does not fall under correct use will lead to the loss of the warranty claim. The chuck of clockwise/anti-clockwise machines is always fixed with a left-handed thread screw. This is to be loosened through the front of the chuck itself before

changing the chuck. Left-handed thread screws can only be loosed by turning to the right.

8 - Operation

Switching on and off

The voltage of the power supply must match the specifications on the type plate of the machine.

Brief switching

Switch on: Press the on/off switch (5).

Switch off: Release the on/off switch.

Continuous operation:

Switch on: Press the on/off switch and then press the locking button (3).

Switch off: Press and release the on/off switch.

9 - Mode of operation

Drilling in wood and metal

To drill in wood and metal, the hammer drill function must be activated. Set the hammer drill switch (1) to the "OFF" setting. Set the clockwise/anti-clockwise switch (2) to clockwise rotation. Activate the electronic revolution regulation by pressing the on/off switch. Set the revolution selection using the adjusting wheel on the on/off switch.

Drilling in cement

Activate the hammer drill function (1), set the clockwise/anti-clockwise switch (2) to clockwise rotation. Start with low revolutions.
