Starting Operation

The rotational direction switch (5) is used to change the rotational direction of the power tool. However, this is not possible while the on/off switch (6) is being pressed.

Rotate clockwise: Slide the rotational direction switch (5) on both sides until it stops in the position.

Rotate anti-clockwise: Slide the rotational direction switch (5) on both sides until it stops in the position.

To start the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch (6).

The LED (10) lights up when the on/off switch (6) is lightly or fully pressed, meaning that the work area is illuminated in poor lighting conditions.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (6).

You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on by pressing in the on/off switch (6) to varying extents.

A light pressure on the on/off switch (6) results in a low rotational speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an increase in speed.

  • Only operate the gear selector (11) when the power tool is not in use.
  • Always turn the gear selector switch as far as it will go. Otherwise, the power tool may become damaged.

First gear:

Low speed range; for working with a large drilling diameter.

Second gear:

High speed range; for fast working with a small drilling diameter.

The rapid shut-off function (KickBack Control) gives the user greater control over the power tool and offers them better protection than power tools that do not have KickBack Control. The power tool will switch off if it suddenly and unforeseeably rotates around the drilling axis.

The triggering of the rapid shut-off is indicated by the control LED for KickBack Control (4) flashing white and the worklight (10) flashing on the power tool.

To switch the power tool back on, release the on/off switch and then press it again.

  • It will no longer be possible to switch the power tool on if the KickBack Control function is faulty. Have the power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only original replacement parts.

Please note that the warning light is not visible from all directions. The warning light is difficult to see in bright sunlight.

  • The hook is intended solely for the purpose of hanging the power tool, including fitted accessories.
  • To avoid damage or injury, the suspension device must not be attached above walkways or immediate work areas.

You can use the hook (12) to hang the power tool from a beam, for example.

The screw of the hook must be tightened using a tightening torque of approx. 2.0–2.5 Nm.

The hook can be fitted on either side of the power tool.
