ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

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

battery cartridge is removed before carrying out

any work on the tool.

Installing or removing the driver bit or drill bit

011497

Turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws.

Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go. Turn the

sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck.

To remove the bit, turn the sleeve counterclockwise.

Installing the hook

011498

The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.

This can be installed on either side of the tool.

To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool

housing on either side and then secure it with a screw. To

remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.

Installing the bit holder (Optional accessory)

007470

Fit the bit holder into the protrusion at the tool foot on

either right or left side and secure it with a screw.

When not using the driver bit, keep it in the bit holders.

Bits 45 mm (1-3/4") long can be kept there.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it

locks in place. If you can see the red part on the

upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.

Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not,

it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury

to you or someone around you.

Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip and the

other hand on the bottom of the battery cartridge to

control the twisting action.

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.

First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the

arrow on the tool body points to the

marking. The

adjusting ring can be aligned in any torque levels for this

operation.

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 slipping 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 several times, the hole will be cleaned out

and normal drilling may be resumed.

Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)

002449

After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the

dust out of the hole.
