WARNING! Use this function ONLY 11.
when drilling soft materials. Do not
drill or hammer drill hard, brittle
materials such as steel or concrete
with Lock Button pressed (ON). If drill
bit catches on material, the high torque
will cause the tool to twist around without
stopping. This violent action could cause
injury to your hands and arms. It could
also damage the Hammer Drill.
To prevent accidents, turn off the tool 12.
and disconnect its power supply after
use. Clean, then store the tool indoors
out of children’s reach.
Metal Drilling Tips
Use high speed steel, carbide or 1.
specialty bits for metal drilling.
Secure work piece to keep it from 2.
moving during the drilling operation.
Use a punch (not included) to create a 3.
dimple for the bit to start.
Start by drilling slowly to keep bit from 4.
wandering away from your starting point.
As hole is established, increase speed. 5.
Do not use so much pressure that bit
heats up. This can damage bit and
create irregular hole. For hard metal, use
cutting oil to keep bit cool.

Wood Drilling Tips
Use high speed bits or bits specially 1.
designed for wood drilling, such as brad
point, spade bits, forstner bits, etc.
Secure work piece to keep it from 2.
moving during the drilling operation.
Start by drilling slowly to keep bit from 3.
wandering away from starting point.
Increase speed as hole is established.
To prevent or reduce “break out” when 4.
bit penetrates work piece, clamp a piece
of scrap material to back of work piece.
Do not lock Trigger in the ON position, as 5.
the bit can easily jam in wood and motor
must be stopped quickly.
Concrete Drilling Tips
Use carbide or specialty bits for concrete 1.
drilling.
Rock and masonry are generally drilled 2.
in the hammer (impact) drilling mode.
When drilling in walls, start with regular 3.
drilling and, once tile is pierced, continue
with hammer mode.
NOTE: In deep bore holes, occasionally pull
the drill bit out to remove dust and chips.
