6.1 Selecting Drilling Mode

The ACVV-130 offers two drilling modes:

• Impact Drilling Mode: For drilling into concrete, brick, and masonry. Select this mode by positioning the mode selector switch to the hammer icon.

6.2 Adjusting Speed

• Variable Speed Trigger: The drilling speed is controlled by the pressure applied to the trigger switch. Pressing lightly results in lower speed, while pressing harder increases the speed.
• Variable Speed Dial: Use the speed dial to pre-set the maximum speed for specific applications. A lower pre-set speed is suitable for larger drill bits or softer materials, while a higher speed is for smaller bits or harder materials.
