    Operating the machine Operating the machine Before all work on and with the machine, read and observe the 2.2 Safety infor- safety information in this operating manual (see Chapter mation for using the machine , Page 20). 6.1 Machine controls The machine has 6 main controls which the operator uses to operate the ma- chine: Main switch (1)
  • Page 38 Operating the machine Item Figure Type Function Main switch Switches the power supply of the machine on and off. Push button Switches the machine drive off. Stop The button light is off when the control system requires an entry (e.g. speed). The light is illuminated when the drive is switched off.
  • Page 39 Operating the machine Item Figure Type Function The switch lever is used to switch between manual mode (lev- Switch lever er points to the top and forwards) and automatic mode (lever points to the bottom and forwards). In automatic mode, the drill handle is mechanically decoupled from the pinion shaft for safety reasons.
  • Page 40 Operating the machine Note The EMERGENCY STOP button should not, however, be used to shut down the machine under normal circumstances (normal shutdown), as this will imme- diately interrupt the controlled movement of the machine. Only press the EMERGENCY STOP button in the event of a hazardous situation. The EMERGENCY STOP button is self-locking.

You should use the drill depth setting on the control system to set this more precisely. 11. All subsequent drill holes can now be made using the fixed stop to limit the drill depth.
  • Page 49: Carrying Out Drilling With Depth Setting

    Operating the machine 6.3.3 Carrying out drilling with depth setting The depth setting on the control system is only connected to an acoustic sig- nal, so there is no mechanical or technical limitation of the drill hole depth. As the drilling process is carried out manually using the drill handle, it is there- fore possible to continue drilling after the signal has been heard.
  • Page 50 Operating the machine 5. If necessary: drilling Press the push button to select the operating mode. drilling The light at the top left is illuminated when the operating mode is selected. 6. Choose the necessary speed according to the drill and work piece being used by slowly turning the turn/push button to set the speed (1/min) and pressing the button to transfer the speed to the control system.
  • Page 51 Operating the machine Push the drill handle down to slowly guide the drill towards the work piece. Drill the through hole or blind hole in the work piece. A signal sounds once the pre-set drill depth has been reached. The drill depth is also shown on the display. 11.
  • Page 52: Thread Cutting With Depth Setting

    Operating the machine 6.3.4 Thread cutting with depth setting Thread cutting takes place with the help of a tap which is suitable for the pre- drilled drill hole. Once the pre-set thread cutting depth has been reached, the direction of rotation of the spindle automatically switches to anticlockwise ro- tation to guide the tap out of the thread which has been created.
  • Page 53 Operating the machine Swivel the drilling protection into its protective position in front of the tool be- fore starting the machine. This activates the circuit breaker and releases the machine for operation. 4. If necessary: thread cutting Press the push button to select the operating mode.
  • Page 54 Operating the machine rotating. Note Use the drill handle to adjust the spindle slightly when cutting a thread. This prevents any tensile force from being applied to the thread. This is particularly important for soft materials. 10. Push the drill handle down to slowly guide the tap towards the work piece. Cut the thread in the pre-drilled hole on the work piece.
