Selecting the action mode

Rotation with hammering

For drilling in wood, metal or plastic materials, depress

the lock button and rotate the action mode changing

knob to the

symbol. Use a twist drill bit or wood bit.

Hammering only

For chipping, scaling or demolition operations, depress

the lock button and rotate the action mode changing

knob to the

symbol. Use a bull point, cold chisel,

scaling chisel, etc.

CAUTION:

• Do not rotate the action mode changing knob when

the tool is running. The tool will be damaged.

• To avoid rapid wear on the mode change

mechanism, be sure that the action mode

changing knob is always positively located in one

of the three action mode positions.

Torque limiter

The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque

level is reached. The motor will disengage from the

output shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.

CAUTION:

• As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off

the tool immediately. This will help prevent

premature wear of the tool.

• Hole saws cannot be used with this tool. They tend

to pinch or catch easily in the hole. This will cause

the torque limiter to actuate too frequently.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before carrying out

any work on the tool.

Side grip (auxiliary handle)
