ADDITIONAL HANDLE AND DEPTH GAUGE
CAUTION: Make sure that the power tool is
OFF and unplugged before making any adjust-
ment. Turn the auxiliar handle counter clock-
wise to loosen the collar and allow the depth
gauge passes over the chuck, set the proper
position for the work to be performed.
Set the depth gauge if required and adjust the
handle to secure in its place.
The side handle can
be rotated 360 de-
grees to find a posi-
tion that offers better
comfort and eases the
operation. The depth
gauge helps to set the
cor-
rect depth if you need to measure a drilled
hole. To change the position of depth gauge,
turn the handle clockwise until the depth
gauge is loose enough to slide through the
hole. Set the depth, check it with a metal rule
for a more accurate measurement, and then
readjust the grip of the handle to set the depth
guide into position.
