OPERATION
Fig.D
Always observe the safety instructions and keep to
the appropriate instructions.
Hold the machine properly and push the drill into the
work evenly. Do not force the machine. Only use drill
bits that are not worn yet. Worn drill bits have a negative
effect on the effectiveness of the machine.
SETTING THE SPEED
The machine has two drilling speeds.
•Set the speed switch (2) to '1' for slow drilling or
tightening / loosening screws.
•Set the speed switch to '2' for high-speed drilling.
•Do not operate the speed switch until the motor has
come to a complete standstill.
SELECTING THE TORQUE
The machine has 16 different torque positions, with
which the power for tightening and loosening screws can
be determined.
•Set the torque dial (3) to the desired torque position.
•Preferably choose as low a position as possible to
move the screw. Choose a higher position if the
motor slips.
TIGHTENING AND LOOSENING SCREWS
•Set the forward / reverse switch to 'R' to tighten
screws.
•Set the forward / reverse switch to 'L' to loosen
screws.

Make sure that the forward / reverse switch (6) is
always set to 'R' for drilling.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Fig.A
•Press the on / off switch (1). The revolutions of the
machine will be regulated by the time that you press
the switch.
•If you let go of the on / off switch (1), a brake is
immediately placed on the drill chuck and it stops
running.
•Slide the forward / reverse switch (6) to the middle
position to block the machine from being switched
back on.
Do not put down the drill until the motor has come to a
complete standstill. Do not place it on a dusty surface.
Dust can get into the mechanism.
