Pro Tips

Use the CENTROTEC chuck for fast accessory changes and the keyless chuck when using standard round-shank drill bits.
For repetitive screwdriving, set the torque properly to avoid overdriving screws into soft timber or board materials.
Use the lower gear for controlled screwdriving and the higher gear for faster drilling applications.
Pair the drill with a Festool Li-HighPower Compact battery for a lighter, better balanced setup.

Fit a compatible Festool 18V battery pack to the drill.
Select the correct chuck or attachment for the task.
Use the CENTROTEC chuck for quick drilling, countersinking and screwdriving accessory changes.
Use the keyless chuck when fitting standard drill bits or accessories from 1.5 mm to 13 mm.
Select the correct gear for the task: lower speed for screwdriving and higher speed for drilling.
Adjust the torque setting for screwdriving applications.
Hold the drill firmly, allow the motor to reach speed and work with controlled pressure.
