The drill chuck must be firmly screwed onto
the spindle and the safety screw inside the
drill chuck (if applicable / model-specific) must be
firmly tightened with a screwdriver. (Caution, left-

when screwing) it could otherwise become loose.

thumbwheel (1).
Change speed only when the machine
is in the process of running down
(briefly switch it on and off).
1st gear (low speed, high torque)
e.g. for screwdriving, drilling
2nd gear (high speed) e.g. for drilling
7.3 Preselect speed

maximum speed. See page 4 for recommended
drilling speeds.
7.4 Switching on/off, changing speed

trigger (9), press in the locking button (8) and
then release the trigger. To switch off, press
