10. Operation
m Attention!
Always make sure the product is fully assembled
before commissioning!
EMERGENCY STOP switch, Fig. 1
The emergency stop switch (8) engages as soon as it is
pressed and switches the machine off.
Do not routinely use the emergency stop switch (8) to
stop the machine.
ATTENTION! Even after the emergency stop switch (8)
has been pressed, the drill spindle continues to rotate for
a few seconds, depending on the speed set.
When drilling, be aware that if the pressure is too high,
the drill will wear out prematurely and may even break or
become jammed in the hole. If jamming occurs, stop the
main drive motor immediately by pressing the emergen-
cy stop switch (8).
On and off switch, Fig. 14
To switch on, actuate the green on switch "I" (9), the ma-
chine starts. To switch off, press the red "O" button (9),
the device switches off.
Be careful not to overload the device.
If the motor noise decreases during operation, the motor
is being overloaded.
Do not stress the device to the extent that the motor is
brought to a stop. Always stand in front of the machine
when operating it.
Inserting tool into chuck
Always ensure that the mains plug is removed when
changing the tool. Only cylindrical tools with the spec-
ified maximum shaft diameter are permitted to be
clamped in the chuck (12). Only use faultless and sharp
tools. Do not use any tools with damaged shafts or that
are deformed or damaged in any other way. Only use
accessories and additional equipment that are specified
in the operating manual or that have been approved by
the manufacturer.
If the bench drill jams, switch off the machine and return
to the initial position with the drill.
How to use the quick-action chuck
The bench drill is equipped with a quick-action chuck.
Tools can be changed without the aid of an addition-
al chuck key by inserting the tool into the quick-action
chuck and clamping it firmly by hand.
Using tools with tapered shank, Fig. 15
The bench drill has a drilling spindle cone. To use tools
with a tapered shank (MK2), proceed as follows:
• Put the chuck in the lower position.
• Drive out the tapered shaft using the drift key (B) pro-
vided, taking care to ensure that the tool cannot fall
onto the floor.
• Insert the new tool with a tapered shank into the drill
spindle taper with a jerking motion and check that the
tool is firmly seated.
Speed adjustment, Fig. 1, 22
The speed of the machine can be adjusted steplessly.
Attention!
• The speed may only be changed when the motor
is running.
• Do not move the speed control lever (6) jerkily;
adjust the speed slowly and evenly while the ma-
chine is idling.
• Ensure that the machine can run unhindered (re-
move workpieces, drills, etc.).
The speed can be adjusted continuously using the
speed adjustment lever (6). The set speed is shown in
revolutions per minute on the digital display (15).
Attention! Never run the drill when the V-belt cover is open.
Always unplug the mains plug before opening the cover.
Never reach into the V-belt while it is running.
Drill depth stop, Fig. 16
The drill spindle has a rotatable scale ring (19) for setting
the drilling depth. Only carry out set-up work when the
machine is at a standstill.
• Press the drill spindle down until the drill bit touches
the workpiece.
• Loosen the clamping screw and turn the scale ring
forwards until it stops.
• Turn the scale ring back by the desired drilling depth
and fix it with the clamping screw.
Attention! When setting the drilling depth for a cylindri-
cal hole, you must add the length of the drill bit tip.
Setting the inclination of the drilling table, Fig. 17
• Loosen the hexagonal bolt (25) under the drilling table (4).
• Adjust the drilling table (4) to the desired angle.
• Tighten the hexagonal bolt (25) again to fix the drilling
table (4) in this position.
