Frequently Asked Questions - BSB 500 Meister Craft

How to change the rotation speed?
The speed is continuously adjustable via the trigger (5). Turn the speed regulator on the trigger in the (-) direction to decrease or (+) to increase the maximum speed. The drill must be unplugged during pre-adjustment.
How to activate the hammer function?
Set the drill/hammer drill selector (1) to 'Hammer drill' position when the drill is stopped. Use this function for drilling in concrete.
How to use the rotation direction switch?
The right/left selector (2) changes the rotation direction. Only operate it when the drill is completely stopped. Use right rotation for drilling, left for unscrewing.
How to adjust the depth stop?
Loosen the wing screw (b), place the depth stop (8) in the guide (d) with the scale visible. Pull the depth stop up to the tip of the drill bit, subtract the desired depth, then tighten the screw.
How to attach the auxiliary handle?
Loosen the wing screw (6), push the handle onto the collar (c), pivot it to the desired position, then tighten the screw. It can be mounted on the left or right of the chuck.
What are the essential safety instructions?
Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. Unplug the drill before any tool change or adjustment. Use a line detector before drilling into walls to avoid electrical, gas, or water lines.
How to change the drill bit?
Unplug the drill. Open the chuck by turning the toothed ring to the left. Insert the drill bit, then tighten manually or using the chuck key (9) into each hole evenly.
Can the drill operate continuously?
Yes, press and hold the trigger, then press the continuous operation button (3). Release the trigger. To stop, press the trigger again.
How to maintain the drill?
Clean the housing with a damp cloth and dry it. Never use solvents. Meisterbasic devices require virtually no maintenance. In case of problems, contact customer service.
What to do in case of breakdown?
If the device is under warranty, return it with the warranty certificate and receipt. After warranty, contact Meister Werkzeuge GmbH customer service for repair. Never open the device yourself; this voids the warranty.

4 - Correct use

Drilling in wood and metal, impact drilling in concrete. Do not use machines, tools and accessories for additional applications (see manufacturer's instructions) for works other than those for which they are designed for. All other applications are expressly ruled out.

WARNING! The warranty is voided by any improper use or use not in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Any necessary repair must be performed by qualified personal.

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.

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.

5 Service

a Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b To avoid hazards, damaged power leads must be replaced by the manufacturer or his customer service representative.
