8.2 Preselecting the speed
Use the setting wheel (7) to pre-select the max.
speed. See page 4 for recommended drilling
speeds.
8.3 Speed selection
Select the desired speed by turning the thumb-
wheel (4).
Change speed only when the machine is in the
process of running down (briefly switch it on and off).
1st speed
(low speed, high torque) e.g. for
screwdriving, drilling
2nd speed
(high speed) e.g. for drilling
8.4 Selecting the direction of rotation
Do not actuate the rotation selector
switch (9) unless the motor has
completely stopped.
Selecting the direction of rotation:
R = clockwise
L = counter-clockwise
The drill chuck must be firmly screwed
onto the spindle, and the safety screw
inside the drill chuck must be firmly tightened
with a screwdriver. This safety screw is model-
specific and as such may not be in all models.
THE SAFETY SCREW HAS A LEFT-HANDED
THREAD! As such, it could become loose if
rotated counterclockwise (during screwing for
example).
8.5 Tool change with a geared chuck (1)
x 3
Chucking the tool: Insert the tool and use the
chuck key to uniformly clamp tight all 3 bores.
Removing the tool: Open the geared chuck with
the chuck key and remove the tool.
8.6 Tool change with Futuro Plus keyless
chuck (2)
b
Insert tool. Grip the retaining ring (a) firmly and,
with the other hand, turn sleeve (b) towards "GRIP,
ZU", until the mechanical resistance which can be
felt is overcome.
Caution! The chuck is not yet fully tightened!
Keep turning ( there is a "clicking" sound while
turning), until further turning is no longer possible -
only now is the tool securely tightened.
With a soft tool shank, retightening may be required
after a short period of operation.
Opening the drill chuck:
Grip the retaining ring (a) firmly and, with the other
hand, turn the sleeve (b) towards "AUF,
RELEASE".
Note: The ratchet sound which can possibly be
heard after opening the drill chuck is functional and
is switched off by a reverse rotation of the sleeve.
If the chuck is extremely tightened: Unplug. Hold
drill chuck with an open-end spanner at the flats on
its head and turn the sleeve (b) hard towards "AUF,
RELEASE".

Insert tool. Grip the retaining ring (a) firmly, and use
your other hand to turn the sleeve (b) against the
stop. To open the drill chuck, grip the retaining ring
(a) firmly and turn the sleeve (b) in the opposite
direction.
