7.2 Three-speed gearing
Do not actuate the thumb-wheel (6) unless
the motor has completely stopped.
Select the desired speed by turning the thumb-
wheel (6).
If necessary, the switching procedure can be
supported by turning the drill spindle slightly.
7.3

Overload protection

The machine is equipped with a mechanical over-
load protection device to protect the operator,
motor and tool.
If the tool jams suddenly, the drill spindle is decou-
pled from the motor by means of a slip clutch.
The slip clutch is designed to absorb impact and
excessive load. As it is only an aid, and does not
provide total protection, you should always drill
carefully. To retain its operability, it should slip
through for a maximum of 2 seconds. In case of
excessive wear, it must be replaced by an author-
ised specialist workshop.
7.4 Inserting and removing tool
Inserting tool:
Perfect seating of the tool in the drill spindle
(9) can only be guaranteed if the female taper
of the drill spindle and the taper shank of the tool
are free of dirt and grease.
Caution ! Never use excessive force to press
tools into the female taper of the drill spindle!
Always use sharp tools in perfect condition.
Switch off the machine. Pull the mains plug
out of the socket.
Tools with taper shank MK3 can be inserted
directly in the toolholder (10).
For all other tools, refer to the chapter 10 Accesso-
ries and the illustration of page 4.
Removing tool:
Insert the removal tool - with the sloping edge
against the drill - in the slot (7) on the machine
neck. If it cannot be inserted through the drill
spindle, you should turn it slightly by hand. Drive
out the tool by knocking lightly on the removal tool
with a hammer.
8 Cleaning
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.

9 Troubleshooting
Switching on procedures produce brief reductions
in voltage. Unfavourable power conditions can be
detrimental to other devices. Power impedances
smaller than 0.35 ohm should not cause any
malfunction.
