Direction Control; Torque Control; Gear Selection - Westfalia ASBS 18 Original Instructions Manual

Operation

Direction Control

WARNING: Never change the direction of rotation while the tool is
running. This may cause permanent damage to the tool.
 The direction of rotation can be set using the forward/reverse
switch (7).
1. For anti-clockwise rotation, push the switch to the right.
2. For clockwise rotation, push the switch to the left.
Note: When the forward/reverse switch is in the central position, the
tool is locked and cannot be switched on. Use this setting as a safety
feature to prevent the tool from being switched on accidentally.

Torque Control

Note: This cordless combi drill is equipped with a torque control clutch
allowing the machine to be set to the correct torque for the individual
application.
 The clutch settings are indicated by the symbols on the torque
selector (3).
 Rotate the torque selector to select the desired setting: the higher
the number displayed on the torque ring, the higher the torque
produced by the tool.

Gear Selection

 Select gear 1 on the gear switch (5) for the higher torque. A lower
speed gear is generally more suitable for driving screws and fasten-
ers.
 Select gear 2 on the gear switch for the lower torque. A higher
speed gear is for drilling and must not be used for driving screws
and fasteners.
Note: Always read the documentation provided with drill bits and
accessories for the recommended or maximum speed setting and use
the most appropriate gear. See 'Technical Data' for the maximum no
load speed of each gear.
