Setting the rotational speed
The ON/OFF switch 4 has a variable speed con-
trol. 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 di-
mensions and their shape. If you are uncertain,
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. Pre-drill
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
pre-drilling.
