Chipping/Scaling/Demolition

014415

Set the action mode changing knob to the symbol.

Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on

and apply slight pressure on the tool so that the tool will

not bounce around, uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on

the tool will not increase the efficiency.

Drilling in wood or metal

014411

014416

Use the optional drill chuck assembly. When installing it,

refer to "Installing or removing the bit" described on the

previous page.

Set the action mode changing knob so that the pointer

points to the

symbol.

CAUTION:

• Never use "rotation with hammering" when the drill

chuck assembly is installed on the tool. The drill

chuck assembly may be damaged. Also, the drill

chuck will come off when reversing the tool.

•

Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the

drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve

to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool

performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

• There is a tremendous twisting force exerted on

the tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough. Hold

the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins

to break through the workpiece.

• A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the

reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to

back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly

if you do not hold it firmly.

• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or

similar hold-down device.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before attempting to

perform inspection or maintenance.

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or

the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may

result.

Replacing carbon brushes

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.

Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep

the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.

Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same

time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.

Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones

and secure the brush holder caps.

014412

Remount the holder cap covers on the tool.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

any other maintenance or adjustment should be
