Due to their working principle, SDS-Plus drilling tools move freely. This results in radial run-out
at no-load. However, this has no effect on the accuracy of the drill hole, as the drill bit centres
itself during drilling.
The SDS-Plus tool holder can also accommodate different drill-bit types with hexagon shank.
Use only bit with SDS-Plus. Other bits can be used with a keyless chuck with SDS-Plus.
8 OPERATION
8.1 Forward/reverse selector (right/left rotation selector) Fig. 2
The drill has a forward/reverse selector located above the switch trigger
§
To make the drill rotate clockwise for drilling or driving screws, push the forward /reverse
switch to the left.
§ To make the drill rotate counter clockwise for removing screws, push the forward /reverse
switch to the right.
Never change the position of the forward /reverse switch while chuck is
turning.
The trigger switch will NOT function with the forward /reverse switch in the
middle position
8.2 Trigger switch lock-on button
The trigger switch lock-on feature allows the trigger switch to be locked in the ON position at
full speed when continuous operation for extended periods of time is required (Fig. 2).
§
To lock the trigger switch in the ON position, pull the trigger switch back fully to operate
the drill at full speed.
§ While holding the trigger fully back, push the lock-on button (3) into the drill handle. The
drill will continue to run.
§ To release the lock-on button, pull the trigger switch back and then release the trigger.
8.3 Drill / hammer control
The drill /hammer control changes the drilling mode between conventional drilling and hammer
for drilling concrete (Fig. 3).
To change from drilling mode to hammer mode, push the end of the drill /hammer control knob
inward and rotate the knob 180°to the hammer mode. Reverse the procedure to change from
hammer mode to drilling mode.
When the drill /hammer control knob reaches the desired position, release
the end of the drill /hammer control knob and move the knob back and forth
slightly. You will hear the knob lock into position.
Change the operating mode only when the machine is switched off!
Otherwise, the machine can be damaged.
