while the motor is running.
Selecting the drilling mode
• For drilling in masonry, set the drilling mode selector (4) to
the position.
• For drilling in other materials and for screwdriving, set the
drilling mode selector to the
Setting the drilling depth (Fig.B)
• Slacken the side handle (7) by turning the grip counter
clockwise.
• Set the depth stop(6) to the desired position. The
maximum drilling depth is equal to the distance between
the tip of the drill bit and the front end of the depth stop.
• Tighten the side handle by turning the grip clockwise.
Switching on and off

The tool speed depends on how far you press the switch.

dial(8) to control the maximum speed.
Drilling in metal
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of
metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting
lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron
and brass which should be drilled dry.
NOTE: Large [5/16" (8 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm)] holes in steel can
be made easier if a pilot hole [5/32" (4 mm) to 3/16" (5 mm)] is
drilled first.
Drilling in wood
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be
made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may
overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the
flutes. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a
block of wood.
Drilling in masonry
When drilling in masonry, use carbide-tipped bits rated for
Impact drilling and be certain that the bits are sharp. Use a
