Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Be aware of the location of pipework
and wiring.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool.
Excessive force does not speed up
drilling but decreases tool performance
and may shorten tool life.
Prior to operation:
• Insert the appropriate bit.
• Mark the spot where the hole is to be drilled.
Switching on and off (fig. A)
• To run the tool, press the variable speed switch (1).
The pressure exerted on the variable speed switch

continuous operation and release the switch.
The lock-on button works only in full speed,
forward rotation.
Chuck removal (fig. B)
• Open the chuck jaws as far as possible.
Always wait until the motor has come to
a complete standstill before changing the
direction of rotation.
• Insert a screwdriver into the chuck and remove
the chuck retaining screw (8) by turning
clockwise.
• Tighten an Allen key into the chuck and strike it
with a hammer as shown.
