Operating Instructions
Warning: Never fit any attachment with a maximum speed lower than the
no load speed of the machine.
Fitting a drill bit
1. Open the Chuck (1) jaws by rotating the front chuck ring clockwise
2. The drill bit can then be placed into the chuck
3. Tighten the chuck jaws by rotating the front chuck ring anti-clockwise
NOTE: Do not run the drill whilst tightening or releasing the chuck
4. When the drill bit is held tightly, test that it is central by running the
drill. The drill bit should rotate smoothly with no 'wobble'. If the drill bit
is not central, release the chuck, and retighten
Direction control
• The direction of rotation can be set using the Reverse Switch (4)
• To make the drill rotate anti-clockwise, push the reverse switch to the
right
• To make the drill rotate clockwise, push the reverse switch to the left
• When the reverse switch is in the central position, the drill is locked
• Do not attempt to move the reverse switch when the drill is running
Switching on
• To start the drill, squeeze the Trigger Switch (5)
• The speed of the drill is controlled by the movement of the trigger, the
further the trigger is depressed, the faster the drill will run
Gear selection
• This drill is equipped with a 2 speed gearbox. The lower gear provides
speeds between 0-350rpm with a high torque. The higher gear provides
speeds between 0-1150rpm with reduced torque
• For jobs that do not require speeds above 350rpm, use low gear. This will
reduce the load on the motor
• To select a gear, slide the Gear Selector (3) to the appropriate position
• Do not attempt to move the gear selector when the drill is running
Torque control
• This drill is fitted with a Torque Control Clutch (2). This limits the torque
output of the drill, enabling screws to be driven without the risk of
damage
• The clutch settings are indicated by the symbols on the clutch ring
• Rotate the clutch ring to select the correct torque
• For drilling, rotate the clutch ring to the drill symbol. This will lock the
clutch for maximum torque
• For hammer drilling, rotate the clutch ring to the hammer symbol. This
will engage the hammer function
Checking battery level
• This drill is fitted with a Battery Level Indicator (7)
• To check the charge remaining in the battery, press the button below
the indicator
• The battery charge level will be displayed on the LCD screen

Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal
parts to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the
body of your machine with a soft brush or dry cloth. If available, use
clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn.
Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure,
or visible sparking
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an
authorised service centre
Storage
• Store this tool and accessories in a dry, secure place out of the reach
of children
Disposal
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment, with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct
way to dispose of tools
