Selecting the torque (fig. G)
This tool is fitted with a collar to set the torque for tightening
screws. Large screws and hard workpiece materials require
a higher torque setting than small screws and soft workpiece
materials. The collar has a wide range of settings to suit your
application.
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar (3) to
the drilling position by aligning the symbol with the
marking (20).
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting.
If you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
- Set the collar (3) to the lowest torque setting.
- Tighten the first screw.
- If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is
achieved, increase the collar setting and continue
tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct
setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws.
Drilling/screwdriving
Select forward or reverse rotation using the
forward/reverse slider (2).
To switch the tool on, press the switch (1). The tool speed
depends on how far you press the switch.
To switch the tool off, release the switch.
Hints for optimum use
Drilling
Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the drill
bit.
Just before the drill tip breaks through the other side of the
workpiece, decrease pressure on the tool.
Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that may splinter.
Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in wood.
Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than cast iron
and brass.
Make an indentation using a centre punch at the centre of
the hole to be drilled in order to improve accuracy.
Screwdriving
Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
with the screw.
Using the laser level function (fig. H - J)
The tool has a laser module that has been designed to project
laser lines to aid in DIY applications.
Place the tool flat against the wall as shown.
8
Slide the on/off switch (7) to position I to switch the laser on.
The laser will project from one of the laser apertures (6).
Move the tool as necessary to position the laser line.
Note: the laser lines will only be level if the tool is kept within
5° from vertical.
Slide the on/off switch (7) to position 0 to switch the laser
off.
Warning! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Setting the direction of the beam (fig. I)
The laser beam can be set for both horizontal and vertical
levelling applications.
Turn the switch (8) into either of the following positions:
- position A: horizontal levelling to the left
- position B: vertical levelling
- position C: horizontal levelling to the right
