Forward/reverse switch
This switch (4) will allow you to change the
direction of the motor while the trigger switch
is not depressed.
Drilling uses the forward mode. The reverse
mode is intended for the removal of screws.
Drilling positions
This symbol indicates the
DRILLING
MODE.
Used for all normal drilling (Wood,
Aluminium, and Steel) in this mode the clutch
is deactivated.
This symbol indicates the
HAMMER MODE
.
This mode will activate hammer action, whilst
drilling. For best results in hammer mode, set
the gear selector to high gear.
Torque adjustment / hammer
selection collar
By rotating the torque adjustment / hammer
selection collar (8) behind the chuck, it is
possible to adjust the torque to each of 20
settings, or select hammer action or the
drill setting.
The range of 20 torque settings allows better
control when using the drill as a screwdriver as
it prevents over-tightening of the screws.
The symbols circling the collar are used to
indicate the level of torque. The larger the
symbol on the collar, the higher torque and
the larger the fastener which can be driven. To
select any of the symbols, rotate the collar (8)
until the desired symbol aligns with the arrow
head indicator on the housing.2 Speed gearbox
The 2 Speed Gearbox allows you to select a
gear with the optimum speed and torque to
suit the application.
Note.
When changing the gear selector ensure
the drill is not operating.
To select the LOW gear (low speed, high
torque setting), push the gear selector (6)
forward, towards the chuck. The word LOW
will be displayed.
To select the HIGH gear (high speed, low torque
setting), push the gear selector (6) back, away
from the chuck. The word HIGH will be displayed.
Inserting and removing bits
The drill is fitted with auto spindle lock which
means if you try and rotate the chuck by hand
the spindle of the drill will automatically lock.
This means you only need to grasp the chuck
and rotate the chuck housing to remove or
fit accessories.
This drill has a keyless chuck, hence a chuck key
is not needed to secure a bit in the drill. Always
set the forward/reverse switch (4) to the locked
‘OFF’ position when installing and removing bits.
It is also recommended to remove the battery
pack to avoid unintentional starting.
Open the chuck jaws by firmly holding the
chuck housing and rotating the housing in
an anti-clockwise direction. Open the jaws
sufficiently so as to fit the desired accessory.
Ensure the accessory is fully inserted, so that
the jaws of the chuck grip onto the flat section
of the accessory.
To firmly clamp the accessory in the chuck,
grasp the chuck housing and rotate the chuck
housing in a clockwise direction. Ensure the bit
is retained firmly or damage to the chuck jaws
can result.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To remove the accessory, open the chuck
jaws by firmly holding the chuck housing
and rotating the housing in an anti clockwise
direction. Open the jaws sufficiently so as to
remove the specific accessory.
Adjustable side handle
Turn the side handle clamp knob
anti-clockwise to loosen the collar fully and
slip it over the chuck (5) onto the drill.
Adjust the position of the side handle (7) to
suit the application and tighten the side handle
clamp knob to secure it in place.
Drilling
DRILLING METALS
1) Always clamp sheet metal.
2) Support thin metal with a block of wood to
avoid distorting it.
3) Use a punch to mark the centre of the hole.
4) Use a suitable lubricant for the material
you are working on1. For maximum
performance, use high speed steel bits for
metal or steel drilling.
2. Ensure that the torque adjustment / hammer
selection collar is in normal drilling mode.
3. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent
the bit from slipping off the starting point.
4. Always clamp sheet metal.
5. Support thin metal with a block of wood to
avoid distorting it.
6. Use a punch to mark the centre of the hole.
7. Use a suitable lubricant for the material you
are working on.
Use:
for:
Oil
Steel
Turpentine or paraffin
Aluminium
Do not lubricate
Brass, copper
or cast iron
Drilling plastics and plastic
coated chipboard
a) Use high speed drill bits
b) See drilling wood below
Drilling masonry
1. For maximum performance use carbide-
tipped masonry impact bits when drilling
holes in brick, tile, concrete etc.
2. Turn the mode selector to hammer
mode, then rotate the torque collar to
the drill position.
3. Apply light pressure and medium speed for
best results in brick.
4. Apply additional pressure and high speed
for hard materials such as concrete.
5. When drilling holes in tile, practice on a
scrap piece to determine the best speed
and pressure.
Drilling wood
1. For maximum performance, use high speed
steel bits for wood drilling.
2. Ensure that the mode selector is in normal
drilling mode.
3. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent
the bit from slipping off the starting point.
Increase the speed as the drill bites into the
material.
4. When drilling through holes, place a block
of wood behind the work piece to prevent
ragged or splintered edges on the back
side of the hole.
WARNING.
Never attempt to lock the trigger
switch in the on position, do not lock the
trigger on jobs where your hammer drill may
need to be stopped suddenly.
