Work preparation

Ensure that the immediate work area is sufficiently lit.

  • To switch on the display (14), turn the on/off switch (13) to position .
  • Press the button (30) to switch on the lighting unit (22).
    "Light" appears on the display (14).

A laser cross shows you the exact drilling point.

  • To switch on the display (14), turn the on/off switch (13) to position .
  • Press the button (31) to switch on the laser unit (22).
    "Laser" appears on the display (14).
  • Position your mark on the workpiece on the laser cross.

To ensure maximum safety while working, the workpiece must always be firmly clamped. Do not saw workpieces that are too small to clamp firmly.

The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have something placed underneath it or be supported.

Note: To clamp small workpieces, use a machine vice (e.g. Bosch MS 80).

  • Position the workpiece by referring to the laser cross.
  • Release the quick-clamping lever (2) on the quick-action clamp (3).
  • Allow the quick-action clamp to rest on the workpiece. Turn the quick-clamping lever (2) clockwise until the workpiece is tightly clamped.
  • After drilling, release the quick-clamping lever (2) by turning it anticlockwise.
  • Turn the quick-action clamp (3) to the side and remove the workpiece.

The parallel guide (19) is used to prevent large workpieces from twisting.

  • Loosen the wing bolts (20) on the parallel guide (19) and insert the parallel guide into the grooves of the base plate (1).
  • Retighten the wing bolts.
  • Secure the workpiece using the quick-action clamp (3).

  • Do not adjust the height of the drive unit during operation. Only operate the clamping lever (7) when the hand wheel is in its initial position. This precautionary measure prevents potential injuries from occurring.

The height of the drive unit (12) can be adjusted depending on the length of the application tool and the size of the workpiece.

Note: After adjusting the height of the drive unit, the position of the workpiece must be checked again using the laser cross. You may need to reposition the workpiece.

A brake prevents the drive unit (12) from falling accidentally when the clamping lever(7) is open. Check the clamping force of the brake from time to time and adjust it if necessary.

  • Make sure that the rotary knob (11) is in the initial position.
  • Hold onto the (11) with one hand, and in the other, release the clamping lever (7) by turning it anticlockwise.
  • Using the rotary knob, adjust the height of the drive unit (12) according to the application tool used and the workpiece height.
  • Retighten the clamping lever (7) clockwise.

Note: The clamping lever (7) freewheels so that it can be turned into a comfortable or space-saving position.
With the clamping lever tightened, pull the handle away from the drive unit, turn it to the required position and then release it.
