[. . . ] f) Bring the tip of the drill bit into contact with the work surface at the position where the hole is to be drilled and press the control switch slowly. g) Press the control switch fully and continue drilling at full power. When drilling a through hole, reduce drilling speed shortly before the drill bit breaks through. Active Torque Control (only TE 76-ATC / TE 76P-ATC) The TE76-ATC / TE 76P-ATC is equipped with the Active Torque Control system in addition to the mechanical torque limiting clutch. This system offers additional protection while drilling by rapid shutdown upon uncontrolled rotation in the axis of the drill bit, e. when the drill bit jams due to hitting rebar or when the insert tool is tilted unintentionally. When the ATC system has become activated, the tool can be restarted by releasing the control switch and reengaging it after the the motor has stopped rotating ("click"-sound signals readiness for use). Always choose a working position in which the electric tool is free to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction (as seen by the operator). Drilling using the depth gauge (accessory) We recommend the use of the depth gauge for drilling holes to the exact depth required. The depth gauge rod is offset in order to reduce deviations caused by tilting the tool and to make it easier to adjust the drilling depth . Assembly : Position the depth gauge on the top side of the power tool so that the two positioning lugs engage in the depressions for the flange screws. Press the depth gauge on to the tool until the two rear retaining lugs engage in the tool casing. Insert the depth gauge rod into the depth gauge from the front, with the offset end towards the front of the tool. Adjusting drilling depth : Slide the depth gauge rod to the required drilling depth. Drilling without hammering action Drilling without hammering action is possible with insert tools with a special connection end. Insert tools of this kind are available in the Hilti insert tool programme. Wood drill bits or steel drill bits with smooth shanks can Drilling Operation Activating the tool (theft protection system) (Optional ­ not available with all versions. ) Further detailed information about activation and use of this optional feature can be found in the separate operating instructions for the theft protection system. The tool is activated as soon as the theft protection indicator lamp no longer lights. -NOTEIn the event of interruption of the electric supply to the tool, e. g. brief disconnection to move to a different workplace, the tool remains operational for approx. After a longer interruption, the tool must be reactivated by way of the activation key. b) Move the selector switch to the hammer drilling position ( ) until it engages . [. . . ] Don't operate the tool when parts are damaged or when the controls do not function faultlessly. The tool is equipped with a service indicator .
