10. DRILLING
When drilling into a hard smooth surface, use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill
bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. Hold the tool firmly and place the tip of the bit at the point to be drilled.
Depress the On/Off switch (10) to start the tool. Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to
keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side pressure to elongate a hole.
For drilling in metal or wood, turn the adjustment ring (2) to the drill position . For drilling in masonry or concrete, turn
to the torque selector to the hammer position .
Tungsten carbide drill bits should always be used for concrete and masonry. When drilling in metal, only
use HSS drill bits in good condition. Always use a magnetic bit holder (not included) when using short
screwdriver bits. When screw-driving, apply a small quantity of lubricant to the screw threads to ease insertion.
11. DISPOSAL OF AN EXHAUSTED BATTERY PACK
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of the battery pack properly. This battery pack contains
Lithium batteries. Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal
options. Discharge your battery pack by operating your drill, then remove the battery pack from the drill housing
and cover the battery pack connections with heavy-duty adhesive tape to prevent short circuit and energy discharge. Do
not attempt to open or remove any of the components.
12. OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When overloaded, the motor comes to a stop. Relieve the load on the machine immediately and allow cooling for approx.
30 seconds at the highest no-load speed.
13. TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT OVERLOAD PROTECTION
This power tool has over-load protection built in. If the load is too high or the battery temperature exceeds 75°C, the
electronic control switches off the power tool until the battery has cooled.
14. PROTECTION AGAINST DEEP DISCHARGING
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharging by the "Discharging Protection System". When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. WHY DOES THE DRILL NOT TURN WHEN YOU PRESS THE SWITCH?
The forward/reverse rotation control (4), which is on top of the trigger, is positioned in the lock function. Unlock the
forward/reverse rotation control (4) by putting it into the required rotation position. Push the On/Off switch (10) and the
drill will start to rotate.
