Torque limiter
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level
is reached. The motor will disengage 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 prevent
premature wear of the tool.
Bits such as hole saw, which tend to pinch or catch
•
easily in the hole, are not appropriate for this tool.
This is because they will cause the torque limiter to
actuate too frequently.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Side grip (auxiliary handle)
Fig.10
CAUTION:
Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety.
•
Install the side grip so that the protrusions on the grip fit
in between the grooves on the tool barrel. Then tighten
the grip by turning clockwise at the desired position. It
may be swung 360° so as to be secured at any position.
Bit grease
Coat the bit shank head beforehand with a small amount
of bit grease (about 0.5 - 1 g).
This chuck lubrication assures smooth action and longer
service life.
