5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1. Fitting the additional handle
(Fig. 2-3/Item 8)
The additional handle (8) enables you to achieve
better stability whilst using the hammer drill. Do
not use the tool without the additional handle.
The additional handle (8) is secured to the ham-
mer drill by a clamp. During the handle clockwise
tightens this clamp. Turning it anti-clockwise will
release the clamp.
•
The supplied additional handle (8) must
first be fitted. To do this, the clamp must be
opened by turning the handle until it is wide
enough for the additional handle to be slid
over the chuck (1) and on to the hammer drill.
•
After you have positioned the additional
handle (8), turn it to the most comfortable
working position for you.
•
Now turn the handle in the opposite direction
again until the additional handle is secure.
•
The additional handle (8) is suitable for both
left-handed and right-handed users.
5.2 Fitting and adjusting the depth stop (Fig.
4/Item 2)
The depth stop (2) is held in place by the additi-
onal handle (8) by clamping. The clamp can be
released and tightened by turning the handle.
•
Release the clamp and fit the depth stop (2)
in the recess provided for it in the additional
handle.
•
Set the depth stop (2) to the same level as
the drill bit.
•
Pull the depth stop back by the required dril-
ling depth.
•
Turn the handle on the additional handle (8)
until it is secure.
•
Now drill the hole until the depth stop (2) tou-
ches the workpiece.
5.3 Fitting the drill bit (Fig. 5)
•
Always pull the power plug before making ad-
justments to the equipment.
•
Release the depth stop as described in 5.2
and push it towards the additional handle.

ser pressure to the ON/OFF switch (5).
•
Select the correct speed: The most suitable
speed depends on the workpiece, the type of
use and the drill bit used.
•
Low pressure on the ON/OFF switch (5): Lo-
wer speed (suitable for: small screws and soft
materials)
•
Greater pressure on the ON/OFF switch (5):
Higher speed (suitable for large/long screws
and hard materials)
Tip: Start drilling holes at low speed. Then increa-
se the speed in stages.
Benefi ts:
•
The drill bit is easier to control when starting
the hole and will not slide away.
•
You avoid drilling messy holes (for example
in tiles).
