Tips and tricks
Tip! This symbol indicates proper
behaviour.
♦
Before operating the appliance, check whether
the screw or drill bit is correctly positioned, i.e.
centred in the drill chuck.
♦
Screw bits are labelled according to their
dimensions and their shape. If you are uncer-
tain, always check whether the bit fits tightly in
the screw head without any free play.
Torque
♦
Smaller screws/bits can be damaged if you set
the torque or rotational speed too high.
Hard screw joints (in metal)
♦
Particularly high torques occur, for example, in
metal screw joints made using drive sockets.
Select a low rotational speed.
Soft screw joints (e.g. in soft wood)
♦
Again, use a low rotational speed, for example
to avoid damaging the surface of the wood on
contact with the screw head. Use a countersink.
When drilling in wood, metal and
other materials, observe the following
♦
Use a high speed for drill bits with a small
diameter and a low speed for drill bits with a
large diameter.
♦
Select a low speed for hard materials and a
high speed for soft materials.
♦
Secure or fasten the workpiece in a clamp or
vice (if possible).
♦
Mark the spot where you want to drill using a
centre punch or nail. Select a low rotational
speed when starting.
♦
Pull the rotating drill bit from the hole repeatedly
to remove dust and chips and clear the hole.
