Two gear selector (fig. D)
This tool is fitted with a two gear selector (4) to vary
the speed/torque ratio.
• Release the ON/OFF-switch and select the
required position as the drill coasts to a stop.
Always align the selector arrow with the gear
symbol on the gear housing:

Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Be aware of the location of pipework
and wiring.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool.
Excessive force does not speed up
drilling but decreases tool performance
and may shorten tool life.
Prior to operation:
• Insert the appropriate bit.
• Mark the spot where the hole is to be drilled.
Switching ON and OFF (fig. A)
• To run the tool, press the variable speed switch.
The pressure exerted on the variable speed
switch determines the tool speed.
Screwdriving
• Select forward or reverse rotation.
• Use the low speed/high torque position
(1st gear).
