The rotational direction switch (7) is used to change the rotational direction of the power tool. However, this is not possible while the on/off switch (9) is being pressed.
- Only operate the rotational direction switch (7) when the power tool is not in use.
Always set the rotational direction to clockwise rotation for hammer drilling and drilling.
- Clockwise: To drill and to drive in screws, press the rotational direction switch (7) all the way to the left.
- Anticlockwise: To loosen and unscrew screws and nuts, press the rotational direction switch (7) all the way to the right.
Note: If the rotational direction switch is in the middle position, the on/off switch is blocked.
- To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch (9).
The worklight (13) lights up when the on/off switch (9) is lightly or fully pressed, allowing the work area to be illuminated in poor lighting conditions.
- To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (9).
For low temperatures, the power tool reaches the full hammer/impact capacity only after a certain time.
