Selecting the direction of rotation (fig. C)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward
(clockwise) rotation. For loosening screws or removing a
jammed drill bit, use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse
u
slider (2) to the left.
To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse
u
slider to the right.
To lock the tool, set the forward/reverse slider into the
u
centre position.
Selecting the operating mode or torque (fig. D)
This tool is fitted with a collar to select the operating mode
and to set the torque for tightening screws. Large screws
and hard workpiece materials require a higher torque set-
ting than small screws and soft workpiece materials. The
collar has a wide range of settings to suit your application.
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar
u
(3) to the drilling position by aligning the symbol with
the marking.
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting.
u
If you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed
as follows:
(Original instructions)
Set the collar (3) to the lowest torque setting.
u
Tighten the first screw.
u
If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is
u
achieved, increase the collar setting and continue
tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the
correct setting. Use this setting for the remaining
screws.
Drilling in masonry (fig. D & E)
For drilling in masonry, set the collar (3) to the ham-
u
mer drilling position by aligning the symbol with the
marking.
Slide the speed selector (5) towards the front of the
u
tool (2nd gear).
Speed selector (fig. E)
For drilling in steel and for screwdriving applications,
u
slide the speed selector (5) towards the rear of the tool
(1st gear).
For drilling in materials other than steel, slide the
u
speed selector (5) towards the front of the tool (2nd
gear).
Drilling/screwdriving
Select forward or reverse rotation using the forward/
u
reverse slider (2).
To switch the tool on, press the switch (1). The tool
u
speed depends on how far you press the switch.
To switch the tool off, release the switch.

Hints for optimum use
Drilling
Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the
u
drill bit.
Just before the drill tip breaks through the other side of
u
the workpiece, decrease pressure on the tool.
Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that may
u
splinter.
Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in
u
wood.
Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
