Note: The clamping lever (7) freewheels so that it can be
turned into a comfortable or space-saving position.
With the clamping lever tightened, pull the handle away from
the drive unit, turn it to the required position and then re-
lease it.

Starting operation

Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Switching on
– To switch on the display (14), turn the on/off switch
(13) to position .
– To switch on the power tool, turn the on/off switch (13)
to position .
The speed can now be adjusted.
Switching off
– To stop drilling, turn the on/off switch (13) to position
.
or
– To switch off the power tool completely, turn the on/off
switch (13) to position "0".
Note: The power tool is now de-energised. All current set-
tings are deleted.
Quick stop function
The power tool can be quickly switched off us-
ing the quick stop function, for example, if the
application tool becomes jammed in the work-
piece.
– Briefly press the on/off switch (13) to switch off the
power tool and the display immediately.
Note: The power tool is now de-energised. All current set-
tings are deleted.
– To start the power tool again after this, the on/off switch
(13) must be returned to position "0".
The power tool can then be switched on again (on/off
switch (13) to position ).
Restart protection
The restart protection mechanism prevents the power tool
from starting up again uncontrolledly after a power failure
(e.g. mains plug removed during operation).
– To start the power tool again after this, the on/off switch
(13) must be returned to position

The power tool can then be switched on again (on/off
switch (13) to position
Overload protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. In the event of overloading, the power tool automat-
ically shuts off the electronics.
– To start the power tool again after this, the on/off switch
(13) must be returned to position
The power tool can then be switched on again (on/off
switch (13) to position

Adjusting the speed

Select the correct rotational speed before starting
u
work. The rotational speed must be appropriate for
both the drilling diameter and the material you intend
to drilled. If an incorrect rotational speed is selected, the
application tool may become jammed in the workpiece.
Use the speed diagram (6) to help you set the appropriate
rotational speed. It shows the speed that should be set
(rpm) depending on the drill diameter (dia. in mm) for the
materials Steel and Aluminium.
Mechanical gear selection
Only operate the gear selector switch (21) when the
u
power tool is not in use.
You can preselect 2 speed ranges with the gear selector
switch (21).
Gear 1:
Low speed range; for working with large drilling diameters.
Gear 2:
High speed range; for working with small drilling diameters.
– Turn the gear selector switch (21) to the required posi-
tion.
If the gear selector switch (21) cannot be turned all the way,
turn the drill chuck slightly with the drill.
Electronic speed control (see figure H)
The speed regulator (15) enables continuously variable ad-
justment of the speed of the power tool.
– To switch on the power tool, turn the on/off switch (13)
to position
– Press the button (33) to switch the indicator area of the
display to "Speed".
– Turn the speed regulator (15) until the required speed is
shown on the display (14).
