Frequently Asked Questions - TC-DY 500 E EINHELL

How do I adjust the screw depth on the Einhell TC-DY 500 E?

Use the depth setting ring (item 2) to pre-select the screwing depth. Turn plus (+) for deeper, minus (-) for shallower. Perform a test screw to find the optimal setting.

How do I change the drill bit or screwdriver bit?

First, rotate the screwing depth stop with the depth setting ring to maximum depth. Then pull off the tool insert to the front (use pliers if needed). Ensure the replacement bit matches the screw type.

How do I enable continuous operation?

Press and hold the ON/OFF switch (4), then push the locking button (5) to lock the trigger. To stop, briefly press the trigger again.

How do I reverse the rotation direction?

Use the changeover switch (6) located above the ON/OFF switch. Slide it to select forward or reverse rotation.

Danger!

When using the equipment, a few safety precautions must be observed to avoid injuries and damage. Please read the complete operating instructions and safety regulations with due care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the information is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any other person, hand over these operating instructions and safety regulations as well. We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these instructions and the safety instructions.

1. Safety regulations

Danger!

Read all safety regulations and instructions.

Any errors made in following the safety regulations and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use.

General safety instructions for electric tools

The term “electric tool” used in the safety instructions refers to electric tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated electric tools (without a power cable).

1. Workplace safety

a) Keep your work area clean and well illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an environment where there is a risk of explosions and where there are infl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produce sparks which could set the dust or vapours alight.
c) Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children and other persons. If there is a distraction, you may lose control of the appliance.

2. Electrical safety

a) The plug from this electric tool must fit into the socket. The plug should never be altered in any way. Never use adapter plugs together with earthed electric tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.

b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating, ovens and fridges. The risk of electric shock is increased if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of water and away from moisture. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not use the power cable to carry the electric tool, to hang it up or to pull it out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts of the appliance. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you are working outdoors with an electric tool, only use extension cables which are designed specifically for this purpose. Using specially designed outdoor extension cables, the risk of electric shock is reduced.
f) If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided, use a earth-leakage circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric shock.
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and use an electric tool sensibly. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of distraction when using the electric tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal protection (such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protection, depending upon the type and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start up accidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is switched off before you connect it to the power supply and/or insert the battery, or pick up or carry the tool. If your finger is on the switch whilst carrying the electric tool or if you connect the appliance to the mains when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
d) Remove keys and wrenches before switching on the electric tool. A tool or key which comes into contact with rotating parts of the appliance can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand squarely and keep your balance at all times. In this way, you can control the electric tool better in unexpected

3. Safety of persons

GB

circumstances.

f) Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get trapped in moving parts.

g) If vacuuming devices and draining devices can be fi tted, make sure that these are correctly attached and correctly used. The use of a dust extraction system can reduce the danger posed by dust.

1. Usage and treatment of the electric tool

a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct tool for your work. You will be able to work better and more safely within the given performance boundaries.

b) Do not use an electric tool with a defective switch. An electric tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments to the appliance, changing accessories or put the appliance down. This safety measure prevents starting the electric tool unintentionally.

d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are not familiar with the appliance or who have not read these instructions to use the appliance. Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced people.

e) Clean your electric tool carefully. Check whether moving parts are functioning properly and not jamming, whether parts are broken or damaged enough that the functioning of this electric tool is affected. Damaged parts must be repaired before using the appliance. Many accidents are caused by badly maintained electric tools.

f) Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges will jam less and are easier to control.

g) Make sure to use electric tools, accessories, spare parts, etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take the conditions in your work area and the job to perform into account. Using electric tools for any purpose other than the one for which they are intended can lead to dangerous situations.

1. Service

a) Have your electric tool repaired only by trained personnel and/or the authorized service agent, using only genuine spare parts. This will ensure that your electric tool remains safe to use.

Special safety information

Hold the equipment by the insulated handles when carrying out work during which the screw could strike concealed power cables or the equipment's own mains lead. Contact between the screw and a live cable can also make the metal parts of the equipment live and will cause an electric shock.

5.1 Setting the screwing depth (Figure 2)

Using the depth setting ring (2) with latching settings you can pre-select the depth to which the screw is screwed into the workpiece.

PLUS direction:

larger screwing depth

MINUS direction:

smaller screwing depth

The best way to determine the re-quired setting is with a test screw.

Press the tip of the screw firmly against the material in question until the screwing depth stop (1) comes up against the workpiece and the coupling disengages.

The scale (a) can serve as a rough guide if the depth setting ring (2) should move or if several screwing depths are needed in alternation.

5.2 Changing the tool insert

To change the tool insert, rotate the screwing depth stop (1) with the depth setting ring (2) as far as the maximum screwing depth and pull off the tool insert to the front (use pincers if necessary).

5.3 Screwdriving work

It is advisable to use self-centering screws (e.g. Torx, cross recessed head) as these will enable you to work safely and reliably. Always make sure that the tool insert used is of the same size and shape as the screw.

6. Operation

6.1 ON/OFF switch (4)

To switch on:

Press the switch (4)

Continuous operation:
