Using the Depth Gauge
The Depth Gauge (13) can be used to assist in the drilling of holes to specific depths
1. Install the Depth Gauge to required drilling depth (see 'Installing & setting the Depth Gauge')
2. Drill the hole until the Depth Gauge comes into contact with the workpiece (Fig. XIII)
• If the Gauge has been set correctly the hole will now be the required depth
Drilling concrete
• Set the drill to hammer drill mode (see 'Hammer drill mode selection')
• Install a suitable masonry drill bit (not supplied) into the Chuck (1) (see 'Installing/removing drill
bits & accessories')
• Tungsten carbide drill bits should be used for masonry and concrete drilling
IMPORTANT: Do not apply excessive pressure while drilling as this will damage the motor and
drill bit.
Note: The drilled hole may fill with debris while drilling. To clear the debris, remove the drill bit from
the hole before continuing.
Drilling wood & metal
• Set the drill to rotary drill mode (see 'Rotary drill mode selection')
• Install a suitable wood or metal drill bit (not supplied) in the Chuck (1) (see 'Installing/removing
drill bits & accessories')
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the drill bit being used is suitable for the workpiece. Always use HSS
drill bits for steel.
Note: The drilled hole may fill with debris while drilling. To clear the debris, remove the drill bit from
the hole before continuing.
Drilling tiles
• Set the drill to rotary drill mode (see 'Rotary drill mode selection')
• Install a suitable tile drill bit (not supplied) in the Chuck (1) (see 'Installing/removing drill bits &
accessories')
Drilling pilot holes
• When a large hole in a tough material (i.e. steel) is required, it is recommended a small pilot
hole be drilled first before using a larger drill bit

to cool the motor

shorten the tools service life. Clean the body of your tool with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If
available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol, petrol or
strong cleaning agents

Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking

service centre
