7 Operation

CAUTION
en
In the event of the drill bit sticking, the power tool will
pivot about its own axis. Always use the power tool with
the side handle fitted and hold it securely with both
hands so that the resulting opposing force causes
the slip clutch to release in the event of the drill bit
sticking. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece
securely.

7.1 Preparing for use

7.1.1 Adjusting the depth gauge 6
1. Release the side grip clamping band by turning the
grip counterclockwise.
2. Pivot the side grip into the desired position.
3. Adjust the depth gauge to the desired drilling depth
"X".
4. Tighten the side handle securely by turning it clock-
wise.
7.1.2 Fitting the insert tool 7
CAUTION
Wear protective gloves when changing the insert tool.
1. Set the forward / reverse switch to the middle posi-
tion or remove the battery from the power tool.
2. Check that the connection end of the insert tool is
clean and lightly greased. Clean it and grease it if
necessary.
3. Check that the sealing lip of the dust shield is
clean and in good condition. Clean the dust shield if
necessary or replace it if the sealing lip is damaged.
4. Push the insert tool into the chuck and rotate it while
applying slight pressure until it engages in the guide
grooves.
5. Push the insert tool into the chuck until it is heard to
engage.
6. Check that the insert tool has engaged correctly by
pulling it.
7.1.3 Removing the tool 8

Wear protective gloves when changing insert tools as
the insert tools get hot during use.
1. Set the forward / reverse switch to the middle posi-
tion or remove the battery from the power tool.
2. Open the chuck by pulling back the chuck release
sleeve.
3. Pull the insert tool out of the chuck.

7.2 Operation
CAUTION
Working on the material may cause it to splinter. Wear
eye protection and protective gloves. Wear breathing
protection if no dust removal system is used. Splin-
tering material presents a risk of injury to the eyes and
body.
CAUTION
The work generates noise. Wear ear protectors. Expos-
ure to noise can cause hearing loss.
CAUTION
Do not operate the function selector switch while the
motor is running.
NOTE
Bring the tip of the drill bit or chisel into contact with
the workpiece and allow the power tool to run under no
load until it reaches the minimum operating temperature.
If necessary, repeat this procedure until the hammering
mechanism begins to operate.
7.2.1 Forward / reverse
NOTE
The forward / reverse switch is used to select the direction
of rotation of the drive spindle. An interlock prevents
switching while the motor is running. The control switch
