How to use

Select the appropriate drill bit and secure it in the 13 mm keyed chuck using the chuck key. Choose the operating mode—rotary for wood and metal, impact (hammer) mode for light masonry—and set a suitable drill speed and feed pressure for the material. Hold the drill with both hands where possible for stability, align the bit with the mark, and start drilling at low speed to create a pilot point before increasing speed. Release pressure once the hole is complete and allow the bit to stop rotating before removing it from the material. When changing accessories or performing maintenance, disconnect the power supply first.

Recommendations

Use appropriate drill bits designed for the target material and apply steady, moderate pressure to avoid overloading the motor. For prolonged drilling in dense materials, allow periodic pauses to prevent overheating. Wear eye protection, hearing protection and suitable gloves during operation. For masonry applications, start with a small pilot hole and increase bit size gradually. Keep the keyed chuck clean and periodically check and tighten the chuck with the key to maintain secure gripping of bits.
