USES OF THE MACHINE
• Tightening and loosening screws for metals, screws for wood, screw that do not require a hole to be drilled
previously, etc.
• Drilling in various types of metal.
• Drilling in various types of wood and plastic.
Any use that differs from the aforementioned is unauthorised.
ADJUSTMENTS AND FUNCTIONS
1. Forward/reverse switch (Fig. 1)
To select the direction of rotation:
• clockwise: push the switch D towards the letter R on the motor housing.
• anti-clockwise: push the switch D towards the letter L on the motor housing
The anti-clockwise turn enables screws and nuts to be loosened.
Warning! Only push the forward/reverse switch D when the machine is switched off.
2. Electronic speed adjustment (Fig.1)
The speed can be adjusted continuously, not by stages, according to the pressure exerted on the on/off switch E, from the machine being switched off to the highest value for both speeds, as shown in the table. This drill is fitted with a reverse-current brake, which stops the bit when the variable speed control is completely released.
3. Mechanical speed adjustment (Fig. 4)
These machines are equipped with a two-speed mechanism. The selector C enables the speed to be adjusted to suit each use.
• Low speed (1) (lever forwards) for screwdriver action and drilling ceramics and for starting to drill brick without a piercer.
• High speed (2) (lever backwards) for drilling brick (in hammer mode), for drilling wood and derivatives, plastics and metals. The speed can be adjusted while the machine is running. However, this should not be done at full load. If, when the machine is stopped, the selector C cannot be set in its final position, push the on/off E switch briefly.
4. Attachment of bits in the keyless drill chuck (Fig. 1) 1. Open the drill chuck A and insert the drill bit or screwdriver bit (in clamp H).
2. To block the bit or screwdriver tip, turn the drill chuck in a clockwise direction, looking at the machine from the front. To remove the drill chuck, remember that it is secured by the safety screw R (Fig. 1a). Open the drill chuck completely and loosen the safety screw. The safety screw has a left-hand thread.
5. Torque adjustment (Mod. FBD... Fig. 3)
• For use as a screwdriver, the drill-screwdriver is equipped with an adjustable clutch, operated by the torque adjustment control B which has 15 settings. Once it has been correctly adjusted, the friction clutch is released when the pre-selected torque setting is reached, to avoid the screw penetrating too far or damage to the machine. Adjustment depends on the type and size of the screw used. It is advisable to always begin in the lowest setting (1) (arrow P) and increase gradually (arrow O) until the desired result is obtained.
• For use as a drill, set the torque adjustment control B to the drill setting. The clutch is designed not to work in the drill mode.
USE OF THE FLASHLIGHT (mod. FBDF... only)
Models FBDF... have a flashlight included which runs off the same battery as the drill.
Proceed as follows:
1. Insert the battery pack and switch on the flashlight.
2. The head of the light can be rotated in one direction 180º in order to obtain a flatter shape.
3. The light bulb is 21.6 W and is available as an accessory.
CHARGING THE BATTERY (Fig. 2)
To remove the battery F from the machine, press both side buttons, G, situated on the handle, at the same time.
To charge the battery with a quick 1-hour charger, proceed as follows:
1. Place the battery charger I on a flat surface and plug the charger into the mains. The green light K on the charger will light up to indicate that the machine is working and the battery is charging.
2. Fit the battery F upside down into the charger. Ensure that the battery tab is aligned with the inner slot on the charger. Check that the + and – battery terminals and those of the charger coincide, press pushbutton T and verify that the red “battery charging” indicator lamp J comes on. The green light K will remain on.
3. Once charged, the red light J will go out. When the charger is unplugged from the mains, the green light K will go out. Respect the charge time indicated in the table. Do not leave the battery in the charger once the battery is fully charged.
Warning! Before charging a battery that has recently been in use or exposed to direct sunlight or heat, leave it to cool. This will enable it to be fully recharged.
