The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled by
varying the amount that the trigger switch is pulled.
Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly
and increases as the trigger switch is pulled more.
NOTE
○
A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about
to rotate; This is only a noise, not a machine failure.

MAINTENANCE
AND
INSPECTION
1.
Inspecting
the
tool
Since use of as dull tool will degrade e
ffi
ciency and
cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace
the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.
2.
Inspecting
the
mounting
screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
3.
Cleaning
on
the
outside
When the driver drill is stained, wipe with a soft dry
cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use
chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt
plastics.
4.
Storage
Store the driver drill in a place in which the temperature
is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.

er from the declared value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
○
To identify the safety measures to protect the operator
that are based on an estimation of exposure in the
actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched o
