Tool Set up

Adjusting The Auxiliary Handle:

The Auxiliary Handle (107) can be 

1. 

placed in a variety of positions. 

(See Figure A.)

To rotate the Auxiliary Handle 

2. 

(107), turn the Auxiliary Handle 

counterclockwise to loosen the band 

and Foursquare Bolt (111).  Once 

loosened, turn the Auxiliary Handle 

to the desired position.  Then turn the 

Handle clockwise to secure in place. 

(See Figure A.)

using The depth gauge:

The Depth Gauge (106) can only be 

1. 

used if the Auxiliary Handle (107) is 

positioned on either side or the top of 

the Rotary Hammer.  The body of the 

Hammer will interfere with the Depth 

Gauge if the Handle is in the bottom 

position.  

(See Figure A.)

Loosen the Auxiliary Handle (107) by 

2. 

turning the Handle counterclockwise. 

(See Figure A.)

Once the Auxiliary Handle (107) is 

3. 

sufficiently loose, pull back on the 

Handle Holder (108) until the hole in 

the Handle is fully open. 

(See Figure A.)

Slide the Depth Gauge (106) in to the 

4. 

desired length.  The tip of the Depth 

Gauge on the front of the Hammer 

should be the desired depth of the 

hole to be drilled.  The depth is from 

the tip of the Drill Bit to the tip of the 

Depth Gauge.

For example; for a 2” deep hole, 

• 

measure 2” back from the tip of the 

Drill Bit.  Then position the front tip 

of the Depth Gauge at that spot. 

(See Figure A.)

After the Depth Gauge (106) is 

5. 

placed in the desired position, turn 

the Auxiliary Handle (107) clockwise 

until tight.  The Depth Gauge should 

be securely in position and should not 

move.  

(See Figure A.)

changing The Settings:

The Rotary Hammer has a Switching 

1. 

Knob (24) and a Selector (91) which 

must be adjusted before drilling, 

hammer drilling, or chiseling. 

(See Figure A.)
WARning!  

2. 

Move the Switching 

Knob (24) and Selector (91) 

only

 when the Motor is stopped.  

Attempting to move the Switching 

Knob or Selector while the Motor 

is engaged will result in abrupt Bit 

rotation and can cause serious 

personal injury and/or property 

damage. 

(See Figure A.)
cAuTiOn:  

3. 

When moving the 

Switching Knob (24) and Main 

Handle (91), make sure both actively 

“click” into the desired position.  If not 

actively engaged, the Knob or Handle 

could slip out of position resulting in 

unexpected tool performance. 

(See Figure A.)

The front Switching Knob (24) has on 

4. 

one side a symbol of a Hammer and 

a Drill.  On the other side is a symbol 

of just a Hammer.  

(See Figure A.)

The Main Handle (91) can be pointed 

5. 

either left or right.  There are symbols 

for a Hammer and a Drill on the left
