until the ejector slot in the side of the spind-

the slot and strike it with a hammer to drive
out the drill chuck.

• Set the desired drilling depth on the
drilling depth stop scale.
• Re-fi x the drilling depth stop by turning
the stop handle backward (anti-clock-

the pre-set drilling depth to be un-
intentionally altered.

CAUTION! Workpieces must be
secured against twisting and lif-
ting.
The workpiece may be twisted or pushed
away when fi tting the drill bit. Also, the spi-
ral shape of the bit may pull the workpiece
upward and so cause it to be spun around.
This may result in serious injury. So the
workpiece must be secured:
• Small workpieces should be clamped in
a suitable machine vice. The vice can be
fi xed using the grooves in the machine
plate and appropriate fi xings (screws and
sliding blocks).
• Larger workpieces can be fi xed directly
on the plate or base using clamp straps.
