the chuck and turn clockwise until tight.
Removing and refitting the chuck (fig. B)

by turning it clockwise using a screwdriver.
Tighten an Allen key into the chuck and strike it with
a hammer as shown.

Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Warning! Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings, check for
the location of wiring and pipes.
Selecting the direction of rotation (Applicable for TM505)
For drilling and for tightening screws, use forward (clockwise)
rotation. For loosening screws or removing a jammed drill bit,
use reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
To select forward rotation, push the forward/reverse
slider to the centre position.
To select reverse rotation, push the forward/reverse slider
to the left.
Warning! Never change the direction of rotation while the
motor is running.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings check for the
location of wiring and pipes.
Avoid touching the tip of a drill bit just after drilling, as it
may be hot.
Selecting the drilling mode
For drilling in masonry, set the drilling mode selector (3) to
the position.
For drilling in other materials and for screwdriving, set the
drilling mode selector to the position.
Switching on and off
To switch the tool on, press switch (1). For variable speed
units, the tool's speed depends on how far you press the switch.
As a general rule for variable speed units, use low speeds
for large diameter drill bits and high speeds for smaller
diameter drill bits.
For continuous operation, press the lock-on button (2) and
release the switch. This option is available
only at full speed. This option does not work in reverse
rotation.
To switch the tool off, release the switch. To switch the tool
off when in continuous operation, press the switch once
more and release it.
