Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust,
are considered as carcinogenic, especially
in connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative).
Materials containing asbestos may only be
worked by specialists.
Provide for good ventilation of the work ing
place.
It is recommended to wear a P2 filter class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
Starting operation
Setting the operating mode
With the selector switch for hammer
drilling/ drilling (4), the operating mode of
the machine is selected.
Note: Change the operating mode
only when the machine is switched off!
Otherwise, the ma chine can be damaged.
To change the operating mode, turn the
selector switch for "hammer drilling/
drilling" (4) to the re quested position.
Position for hammer drilling in con crete or
stone
Position for drilling without impact in
wood, metal, ceramic and plastic as well
as for screwdriving
Reversing the Rotational Direction
Actuate the rotational direction switch (5)
only when the machine is at a standstill.
The rotational direction switch (5) is used
to re verse the rotational direction of the
machine. However, this is not possible
with the On/Off switch (6) actuated.
Right Rotation: For drilling and driving
in screws, push the rotational direction
switch (5) left to the stop.
Left Rotation: For loosening and
unscrewing screws and nuts, press the
rotational direction switch (5) through to
the right stop.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off
switch (6) and keep it pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/
Off switch (6).
For low temperatures, the power tool
reaches the full hammer/impact capacity
only after a cer tain time.
Note: Sparks may be visible through
the slots in the motor housing during
operation. The sparks are a normal
reaction of the motor when in use and
are created by the components inside the
motor moving against each other. The
function of the power tool is not affected
by this. We do however recommend not
to use the power tool near any flammable
liquids, gases or dust, which the sparks
may ignite.
Setting the Speed/Impact Rate
The speed/impact rate of the switched
on pow er tool can be variably adjusted,
depending on how far the On/Off switch
(6) is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switch (6)
results in low speed/impact rate. Further
pressure on the switch increases the
speed/impact rate.
