FAQs

What is the maximum drilling capacity for wood?

Can I use this drill for screwdriving?

How do I switch between drilling and hammer modes?

There is a selector switch typically located near the base of the drill or the motor housing. Ensure the drill is off and unplugged before switching modes.

What type of drill bits should I use for concrete?

For concrete, you should use masonry drill bits specifically designed for hammer drills. The maximum capacity for concrete is 13mm.

Is the chuck keyless?

Yes, this model features a 13mm keyless chuck for quick and easy bit changes without the need for a separate key.

What is the power source for this drill?

This is a corded electric drill that operates on a 230V power supply.

How do I ensure consistent drilling depth?

Use the included depth gauge. Set it to your desired depth before you begin drilling, ensuring it is locked in place.

Troubleshooting

Drill does not power on

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the trigger switch is functioning correctly.

Drill bit slips or is not held securely

Ensure the keyless chuck is tightened fully around the bit shank. Check the chuck jaws for debris and clean if necessary.

Hammer function not engaging or weak

Verify that the mode selector is correctly set to the hammer position. Ensure you are applying adequate pressure for the hammer mechanism to engage.

Overheating during use

Reduce the drilling load, ensure ventilation slots are clear, and allow the drill to cool down between extended periods of heavy use.

Excessive vibration or noise

Check that the drill bit is securely seated and straight. Ensure the auxiliary handle and depth gauge are properly attached. For hammer mode, some vibration is normal.
