CAUTION:
Always set the knob fully to your desired mode mark. If you operate the
tool
with the knob
positioned half-way between the mode marks, the tool may be damaged.
Torque limiter
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level is reached. The motor will dis-
engage from the output shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.
CAUTION:
As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off the tool immediately. This will help pre-
vent premature wear of the tool.
Hole saws, core bits, diamond core bits, etc. cannot be used with this tool. They tend
to
pinch or catch easily in the hole. This will cause the torque limiter to actuate too frequently.
