switch E in position "1"
- for normal drilling as well as for screwdriving set switch
C in position "1" and switch E in position "0" and use
adapter J 2
- the hammer mechanism is activated by applying a
slight pressure on the tool when the drill bit is in
contact with the workpiece
- best impact drilling results can be obtained by only a
slight pressure on the tool needed to keep the
automatic clutch engaged; drilling performance will not
improve by applying more pressure on the tool
