OPERATION

Instructions for Use
• 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.
