OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Side handle (Fig. 1)

The side handle swings around 360° on the vertical as
well as back and forth on the horizontal. Turn the clamp
nut clockwise to secure the handle in the desired posi-
tion.

Side grip (Fig. 2)

The side grip is convenient for downward drilling or chip-
ping operations. Screw the side grip on the tool securely.
The side grip can be installed on either side of the tool for
right or left hand operation.

Installing or removing drill bit or other bits (bull
point, etc.) (Fig. 3)

Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the bit.

Insert the bit into the tool holder as far as it will go. Pull
out and turn the tool retainer 180 degrees. Then release
it to secure the bit.

CAUTION:
Never use A-type shank bits. They can cause damage to
the tool.

To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.

Selecting action mode (Fig. 4)

Rotation with hammering:
For drilling in concrete, masonry, etc., rotate the change
lever to the

position.

Hammering only:
For chipping, scaling or demolition operations, rotate the
change lever to the

position.

CAUTION:
• Do not rotate the change lever when the tool is running

under load. The tool will be damaged.

• To avoid rapid wear on the mode change mechanism,

be sure that the change lever is always positively
located in one of the two action mode positions.

Switch action (Fig. 5)

CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that

the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the

“OFF”

position when released.

• Do not tape, tie or otherwise secure the trigger in the

“ON”

position.

To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trig-
ger to stop.

Hammer drilling operation

Position the bit at the location for the hole, then pull the
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 from the hole. By repeating
this several times, the hole will be cleaned out.

CAUTION:
When the bit begins to break through concrete or if the
bit strikes reinforcing rods embedded in concrete, the tool
may react dangerously. Maintain good balance and safe
footing while holding the tool firmly with both hands to
prevent dangerous reaction.

Chipping / Scaling / Demolition

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.

Core bit (optional accessory)

When using the center bit

Screw the core bit on the adapter. Install the adapter with
the core bit in the tool in the same manner as a drill bit.
(Fig. 6)

Install the center bit. (Fig. 7)

Rest the core bit on the concrete and turn the tool on.
Once the core bit has cut a shallow groove into the con-
crete, remove the center bit. Then resume drilling.

To remove the core bit, follow the procedures (1) or (2).
(1) Rotate the change lever to the

position. Then rest

the core bit on the concrete and turn the tool on. The
core bit will come loose from the hammering action.
(Fig. 8)

(2) Hold the adapter with the wrench, insert the rod

(optional accessory) into the hole in the core bit and
tap with a hammer to unscrew. (Fig. 9)

When not using the center bit

Screw the core bit on the adapter. Install the adapter with
the core bit in the tool in the same manner as a drill bit.
(Fig. 6)

Rotate the change lever to the

position. Rest the core

bit on the concrete and turn the tool on. Once the core bit
has cut a shallow groove into the concrete, rotate the
change lever to the

position and resume drilling.

NOTE:
No problem is caused even if the core bit unscrews
slightly during brief use since the core bit rotates in the
tightening direction.
