HOW TO USE THE ROTARY HAMMER
1. How to drill holes (Fig. 4)
(1) Pull the switch trigger after applying the drill bit
tip to the drilling position.
(2) It is unnecessary to forcibly press the rotary hammer
main body. It is sufficient to slightly press the rotary
hammer to an extent that shavings are freely
discharged.
CAUTION:
Although this machine is equipped with a safety
clutch, if the drill bit becomes bound in concrete
or other material, the resultant stoppage of the drill
bit could cause the machine body to turn in reaction.
Ensure that the main handle and side handle are
gripped firmly during operation.
2. How to chisel or crush (Fig. 5)
By applying the drill bit tip to the chiseling or
crushing position, operate the rotary hammer by
utilizing its empty weight.
Forcible pressing or thrusting is unnecessary.
3. When drilling at “rotation + hammering”:
CAUTION:
If you switch the selector lever during motor rotation,
the tool can start to rotate abruptly, resulting in
unexpected accidents. Be sure to switch the selector
lever when the motor is at a complete stop.
(1) Switching to “rotation + hammering”
(a) Push the button, release lock and turn the selector
lever clockwise.
(b) Align of the selector lever and
of the lever
holder as illustrated in Fig. 6.

(2) To attach the tool (SDS max shank), insert it into
the hole until it contacts the innermost end of the
hole as illustrated in Fig. 2.
If you continue to turn the tool with slight pressure,
you can feel a spot where there is a hitch. At that
spot, pull the grip to the direction of an arrow mark
and insert the tool all the way until it hits the
innermost end.
Releasing the grip reverts the grip and secures the
tool in place.
(3) Pull the tool to make sure it is locked completely.
(4) To remove the tool, fully pull the grip in the direction
of the arrow and pull out the tool.
5. Regulating the number of rotations and hammering
(Fig. 3)
This Rotary Hammer is equipped with a built-in
electronic control circuit that can adjust and regulate
the number of rotations and times of hammering.
This Rotary Hammer can be used by adjusting the
dial, depending upon the contents of operation,
such as boring holes into fragile materials, chipping,
centering, etc.
The scale ‘1’ of the dial is designed for a minimum
speed with the number of 120 rotations per minute
and 1250 times of blow per minute. The scale ‘6’
is designed for a maximum speed with the number
of 240 rotations per minute and 2500 times of blow
per minute.
CAUTION:
Do not adjust the dial during operation. Doing so
can result in injury because the Rotary Hammer
must be held by only one hand, disabling the steady
control of the Rotary Hammer.
6. RCD
The use of a residual current device with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less at all times is
recommended.
