The DM 220 is ideally suited for use by electrical and plumbing engineers for producing a variety of sized holes for cabling and pipework. The in-built electronic guidance and positioning system allows the user to easily choose and set a desired angle which they want to drill at and will simply then communicates to them by the LED crosshair on top of the motor casing any manual adjustments they need to make to the drill position. The incorporated dust port provides a simple and ideal means of connecting to a dust collector when dry drilling, although the drill can also be used with equal success for a wide range of wet drilling applications.
The motor features a Softstart® electronic current limiter which ensures a softer start and means that full speed is reached about two seconds after start, making holes easier to start being cored. It also includes Elgard™, where it uses pulsation to warn the operator of an impending overload. When making a hole or drilling through reinforcement, the operating rotational speed can be reduced by half by using the built-in Smart Start®.
