drill spindle is interrupted. Because of the resulting
forces, always hold the tool with both hands and
take a firm stance.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING:
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Be aware of the location of pipework
and wiring.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to
the tool (approx. 5 kg). Excessive
force does not speed up drilling but
decreases tool performance and may
shorten tool life.
• Do not drill or drive too deep to
prevent damage to the dust cover.
• Always hold the tool firmly with both
hands and ensure a secure stance.
Always operate the tool with the side
handle properly mounted.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, turn tool
off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
Proper Hand Position (fi g. 1, 6)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS
use proper hand position as shown
in figure 6.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main
handle (h), with the other hand on the side handle
(e).
Drill Operation (fi g. 1)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect tool from power source
before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS ensure

"back-up" block to prevent damage to
the material.
