(Original instructions)

u

  To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider into the 

centre position.

Selecting the operating mode or torque (fig. D)

This tool is fitted with a collar to select the operating mode and 

to set the torque for tightening screws. Large screws and hard 

workpiece materials require a higher torque setting than small 

screws and soft workpiece materials. The collar has a wide 

range of settings to suit your application.

u

  For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar (3) 

to the drilling position by aligning the symbol   with the 

marking.

u

  For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting.  

If you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as 

follows:

 -  Set the collar (3) to the lowest torque setting.

 -  Tighten the first screw.

 -  If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is 

achieved, increase the collar setting and continue 

tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct 

setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws.

Drilling in masonry (fig. D & E)

u

  For drilling in masonry, set the collar (3) to the hammer 

drilling position by aligning the symbol   with the marking.

u

  Slide the speed selector (5) towards the front of the tool 

(2nd gear).

Speed selector (fig. E)

u

  For drilling in steel and for screwdriving applications, slide 

the speed selector (5) towards the rear of the tool (1st gear).

u

  For drilling in materials other than steel, slide the speed 

selector (5) towards the front of the tool (2nd gear).

Drilling/screwdriving 

u

  Select forward or reverse rotation using the forward/re-

verse slider (2).

  To switch the tool on, press the switch (1). The tool speed 

depends on how far you press the switch.

Hints for optimum use 

Drilling

u

  Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the drill 

bit.

u

  Just before the drill tip breaks through the other side of the 

workpiece, decrease pressure on the tool.

u

  Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that may 

splinter.

u

  Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in wood.

u

  Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.

u

  Use masonry bits when drilling in soft masonry.

u

  Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than cast iron 

and brass.

u

  Make an indentation using a centre punch at the centre of 

the hole to be drilled in order to improve accuracy.

Screwdriving

u

  Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.

u

  If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small 

amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.

u

  Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line 

with the screw.
