How to use

Select the appropriate drill bit for the material and securely fit it into the chuck. Choose the lower gear setting for high torque when driving screws or drilling larger holes, and the higher gear for faster drilling in softer materials. For masonry, engage the hammer function and apply steady pressure; for wood and metal, switch off the hammer action. Maintain a firm grip and keep the drill perpendicular to the work surface for accurate holes. Disconnect from the mains before changing bits or performing maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling masonry. Pre-mark drill positions and use clamps or supports to secure workpieces. Allow the drill to cool during extended heavy use and avoid forcing the tool to prevent overheating and premature wear.
