Step 7: Pull out mains plug and remove chips with a tool.
7.4 Depth stop
The depth stop is useful if you have to work a blind hole
or a through hole with an obstacle behind the hole. Of
course, the depth stop can be used for each threaded
hole. You can move the depth stop forwards or back-
wards or remove it when you do not need it.
Step 1: Loosen the locking screw of the depth stop and
set it so that it is flush with the end of the tap.
This will be their zero position.
Step 2: Subtract the desired depth of cut from this posi-
tion and additional 4 mm (due to internal me-
chanics). Set this from the zero position.
Step 3: Close the locking screw.
7.5 Safety clutch
The slip clutch is designed in such a way that when the
maximum torque is reached, the clutch slips over. This
is to protect against tearing of the tap and protect the
motor.
The slip clutch is pre-set at the factory and can be read-
justed if it changes in maximum torque. For this please
contact our customer service (see 1.2).
