Original instructions

INTENDED USE

The machine is intented for driving in and loosening screws as well as for drilling in wood and metal.
Do not use machines, tools and accessories for additional applications (see manufacturer’s instructions) or for works other than those for which they are designed for.
The drill and screwdriver bit recommendations are to be observed.

SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Safety instructions for all operations
   A. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting a «live» wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool «live» and could give the operator an electric shock.

2. Safety instructions when using long drill bits
   A. Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
   B. Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury
   C. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

Additional safety warnings

• Switch the power tool off immediately if the application tool becomes blocked. Be prepared for high torque reactions which cause kickback. The application tool becomes blocked when it becomes jammed in the workpiece or when the power tool becomes overloaded.

• Hold the power tool securely. When tightening and loosening screws be prepared for temporarily high torque reactions.

• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
  Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.

• Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The application tool can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.

• Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be more securely guided with both hands.

• In order to prevent the power tool from being switched on unintentionally, always unlock the lock on button. To do so, briefly press the On/Off switch.

• Application tools can become hot during operation. There is a risk of burns when changing the application tool. Use protective gloves to remove the application tool.

• Children and frail people must not use this tool. Children should be supervised at all times if they are in the area in which the tool is being used. It is also imperative that you observe the accident prevention regulations in force in your area.

OPERATION

WARNING : The device should be disconnected from the mains before putting into operation
BIT INSTALLATION
When selecting a drill bit, use the right type for your job. For best performance, always use a sharp drill bit.

1. To open the chuck jaws, holdits collar while turning the sleeve in the counter clockwise direction.
   Insert the drill bit deeply into the chuck, and then center the bit in the chuck jaws.

2. To close the chuck jaws, hold the collar while turning the sleeve in the clockwise direction.Tighten securely.

3. Remove the drill bit in reverse order.
   NOTE: The chucks of reversible drills are always fixed by a screw with a left hand thread. The screw must be loosed before the chuck can be removed if necessary. To loosen the screw, turn it in a clockwise direction.

FORWARD / REVERSE ADJUSTMENT

1. For forward (clockwise) rotation, push the forward /reverse switch to the left position.
2. For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push the forward/reverse switch to the right position.
   Although an interlock prevents reversing the tool while the motor is running, allow it to come to a full stop before reversing.

WARNING: If the forward / reverse switch is in the central position, the tool can not be switched on.

VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH
WARNING: Always check that the power supply is the same as that indicated on the nameplate of the tool.
This tool has a variable speed switch which can reach higher speed with increased trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the pressure to the switch trigger. The variable speed feature is particularly useful when starting drilling. It also enables you to select the best speed for a particular application.
To limit the maximum speed of the tool, rotate the dial on the front of the trigger until the desired setting is achieved. Turn the dial to the“+” direction to increase the speed and to the “-” direction to decrease the speed.
NOTE: It is recommended to use the variable speed feature for a short time only. Do not continuously operate the tool at different speeds. It may damage the switch.
LED WORKLIGHT
The tool has a LED light to illuminate the work area and improve vision when working in areas with insufficient lights.
The LED light will switch on automatically while the trigger switch is depressed
START DRILLING
Start the tool by squeezing the variable speed trigger switch. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
HOLE DRILLING
When attempting to drill a large diameter hole, it is sometimes best to start with a smaller drill bit then work up to the required size. This prevents overloading the drill.

WARNING: Many accidents occur because of unforeseeable situations. Please pay attention that drilling-out a small hole may cause the drill bit to jam in the hole, especially when drilling metal.

• Remember to use a “wood-pecker” action on deep holes to allow the swarf to be ejected from the hole.
• If the drill bit snags, switch off immediately to prevent permanent damage to the drill.
• Try running the drill in reverse to remove the bit.
• Keep the drill in line with the hole. Ideally, the drill bit should enter at right angles to the work. If the angle is changed during drilling, this could cause the bit to snap off, blocking the hole and perhaps causing injury.
• Reduce pressure as the drill is about to break through the item being drilled.
• Don’t force the drill, let it work at its own pace.
• Keep the drill bit sharp.

DRILLING WOOD
For maximum performance when drilling larger holes, use auger bits or spade bits for wood drilling.

• Set the tool to the drill mode.
• Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed as it bites into the wood.
• When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the work piece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on the back of the hole.

DRILLING METAL
For maximum performance, use HSS drill bits for metal drilling.

• Set the tool to the drill mode.
• Mark off the center of the hole using a center punch.
• Use a suitable lubricant for the material you are working on.
• Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
• Always clamp sheet metal. Support thin metal with a block of wood to avoid distorting it.
