Setting the rotational speed
The ON/OFF switch 4 has a variable speed
control . Pressing the ON/OFF switch 4 yields a
low speed . Increasing the pressure increases the
speed .
NOTE
►
The integrated motor brake ensures that the
appliance stops quickly .
Changing the direction of rotation
♦
Change the direction of rotation by pushing the
rotation direction switch 3 to the right or left .
Tips and tricks
Tip! How to do things correctly.
♦
Before operation, check whether the screw or
drill insert is correctly fitted, i .e . centred in the
drill chuck .
♦
Screw bits are labelled according to their
dimensions and their shape . If you are uncer
tain, always check first whether the bit fits tightly
in the screw head without any play .
Torque
♦
Smaller screws/bits can be damaged if you set
too high a torque or too high a speed .
Hard screw joints (in metal)
♦
Particularly high torques occur, e .g . in metal
screw joints made using socket wrench bits .
Select a low rotational speed .
Soft screw joints (e.g. in soft wood)
♦
Here, too, use a low speed to avoid damaging
the wood surface when it comes into contact
with the metal screw head . Use a countersink .

When drilling in wood, metal and other
materials, observe the following
♦
Use a high speed for drill bits with a small
diameter and a low speed for drill bits with a
large diameter .
♦
Select a low speed for hard materials and a
high speed for soft materials .
♦
Secure or fasten the workpiece in a clamp or
vice (if possible) .
♦
Mark the spot where you want to drill with a
punch or nail . Select a low rotational speed
when you start drilling .
♦
Pull the rotating drill bit out of the hole several
times to remove dust and chips and clear the
hole .
Drilling in metal
♦
Use a metal drill (HSS) . For optimum results,
cool the drill bit with cutting oil . Metal drill bits
can also be used to drill into plastics . Predrill
with a 3 mm diameter drill bit and then increase
the size until the desired hole diameter is
achieved .
Drilling in wood
♦
Use a wood drill with a centring point: for deep
drilling use an auger bit and for large drill
diameters use a Forstner bit . Small screws can
be screwed directly into soft wood without
predrilling .
