USE
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not
overload.
Warning! Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings,
check for the location of wiring and pipes.
Selecting the direction of rotation (Fig. E)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward
(clockwise) rotation. For loosening screws or removing a
jammed drill bit, use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
f To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse
slider (3) to the centre position.
f To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse
slider to the left.
Warning! Never change the direction of rotation while
the motor is running.
Selecting the drilling mode

the drilling mode selector to the position.
Setting the drilling depth (Fig. F)
(Only for HD500)
f Slacken the side handle (7) by turning the grip
counterclockwise.
f Set the depth stop (6) to the desired position. The
maximum drilling depth is equal to the distance
between the tip of the drill bit and the front end of the
depth stop.

Switching on and off
f To switch the tool on, press the speed switch (1).
For tools with variable speed switch, the tool speed
depends on how far you press the switch. As a
general rule, use low speeds for large diameter
drill bits and high speeds for smaller diameter drill bits.

f For continuous operation, press the lock-on button (2)
and release the speed switch. This option is available
only at full speed. This option does not work in reverse
rotation. Reverse rotation available only for HD500.

switch the tool off when in continuous operation, press
the speed switch once more and release it.
MAINTENANCE
Keep guards, air vents and the motor housing as clear as
possible of dust and dirt. Wipe with a clean cloth and blow
through with a low-pressure air supply. Excessive build-up
of metal dust can cause tracking of electrical current from
the internal parts to exposed metal parts.
Important! To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment (other than those
listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized
service centers or other qualified service personnel,
always using identical replacement parts.
