down and injure other persons.

6 Before use

6.1 Fitting the side handle 2
CAUTION
Remove the depth gauge from the side handle in order
to avoid injury.
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Release the side handle clamping band by turning
the handle counterclockwise.

7 Operation

CAUTION
In the event of the drill bit sticking, the power tool will
pivot about its own axis. Always use the power tool with
the side handle fitted and hold it securely with both
hands so that the resulting opposing force causes
the slip clutch to release in the event of the drill bit
sticking. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece
securely.
