Setup
Attaching the Side Handle
The side handle provides additional control and stability. Loosen the handle clamp, slide the handle onto the drill's neck, and tighten it securely in a comfortable position.
Installing the Chuck and Drill Bit
- Ensure the drill is unplugged from the power source.
- Insert the geared chuck onto the spindle and tighten it using the chuck key.
- Open the chuck jaws by rotating the chuck key counter-clockwise.
- Insert the desired drill bit fully into the chuck jaws.
- Tighten the chuck jaws firmly using the chuck key, ensuring the bit is centered and secure.
Operating Instructions
Power Connection
Connect the power cord to a suitable 120-volt AC power outlet.
Speed Preselection
Use the thumb wheel to preselect the desired speed (RPM) for your application. Refer to the specifications for the speed range.
Vario-Tacho-Constamatic (VTC) Electronics
The VTC electronics maintain a nearly constant speed even under load, ensuring consistent performance.
Impulse Mode
For starting on smooth surfaces or removing stubborn screws, activate the selectable "impulse" mode. This provides short bursts of power for better grip and control.
Drilling Operation
- Hold the drill firmly with both hands, utilizing the side handle for stability.
- Position the drill bit at the desired drilling point.
- Press the trigger to start the drill.
- Apply steady, even pressure. Avoid excessive force, allowing the drill to do the work.
- For deep holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips.
- Release the trigger to stop the drill.
Counter-Clockwise Operation
The rotating carbon brush bridge ensures maximum performance even when operating in counter-clockwise mode, useful for removing screws or backing out bits.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean the ventilation slots and the tool housing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Carbon Brushes
The carbon brushes are designed for long life. If the tool experiences reduced performance or excessive sparking, the carbon brushes may need inspection or replacement by a qualified service technician.
Storage
Store the tool in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children.
