drill bit.
6.5 Rotational direction
switching
Operate the rotational direction switch [1-7]
only when the machine is at a standstill!
Take hold of the rotational direction switch
[1-7] on both sides.
Clockwise rotation:
For drilling and fi xing screws.
Anticlockwise rotation:
For loosening and removing screws
and nuts.
Important: Press the rotational direction
switch [1-7] up to the stop on the housing,
i. e. until it snaps in audibly. If the rotational
direction switch [1-7] is set between the
positions ◄ and ►, the machine cannot be
switched on.
6.6 Selecting the modes
of operation
The operational mode switch [1-4] can be
used to select the required settings.
The switchover can be performed best at

Drilling in tiles
Start drilling slowly on the tile. Only after the
tile is drilled through, switch to impact drill-
ing. This prevents the tile from cracking.
b) Drilling / Stirring / Screwing
Drilling with diamond drill bits
Switch the hammer action off when drilling
with a diamond drill bit.
Set the operation mode switch [1-4] to
drilling.
Screwing
The screw adapter [2-2] (accessory) can
hold screw bits.
Commercially available bits with a hexago-
nal dimension of 6.3 mm or 1/4" (DIN 3126,
Form C) can be used. The screw-bits are
held in the adapter with a spring ring.
Therefore, use only bits with a notch.
Set the operation mode switch [1-4] to
drilling.
