OPERATION
Hammer drilling operation
CAUTION:
There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force
exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break-through,
when the hole becomes clogged with chips and
particles, or when striking reinforcing rods embedded in
the concrete. Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle)
and firmly hold the tool by both side grip and switch
handle during operations. Failure to do so may result in
the loss of control of the tool and potentially severe
injury.
When drilling in concrete, granite, tile, etc., move the action
mode changing lever to the position of symbol to use
rotation with hammering action.
Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.
Position the bit at the desired location for the hole, then pull
the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light pressure gives
best results. Keep the tool in position and prevent it from slip-
ping away from the hole.
Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes clogged
with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an idle, then
remove the bit partially from the hole. By repeating this sev-
eral times, the hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling
may be resumed.
Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the dust
out of the hole.
Drilling operation
When drilling in wood, metal or plastic materials, move the
action mode changing lever to the position of symbol to
use rotation only action.
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with
wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw
makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece.
