WX338

OPERATION

NOTE: 

Before using the tool, read the instruction 

book carefully.

INTENDED USE

The machine is intended for hammer drilling in 
concrete, brick and stone as well as for light chiseling 
work. It is also suitable for drilling without impact in 
wood, metal, ceramic and plastic.

1. INSERTING AND REMOVING DRILL BIT IN SDS

Take care that the Dust Protection Cap (2) is not 

damaged when changing tools.

·   INSERTING (See Fig. A)

Clean and lightly oil the bit before inserting. Insert the 
dust-free bit into the bit holder with a twisting motion 
until it latches.
The bit locks itself. Check the locking by pulling on the 
tool.

·   REMOVING (See Fig. B)

Retract back the Bit Holder Locking Sleeve (3) and pull 
out the bit.

WARNING: Your new WORX Rotary Hammer 

Drill generates powerful forces to get your 

job done quickly and effectively. These forces 

may cause inferior quality SDS bits to break and 

jam in the chuck. We therefore recommend that 

only high quality SDS bits be used with this tool.

2. ON/OFF SWITCH WITH VARIABLE SPEED 

CONTROL (See Fig. C)

Depress to start and release to stop your tool. This tool 
has a Variable Speed Switch (5) that delivers higher 
speeds with increased trigger pressure - speed is 
controlled by varying the pressure applied to the switch.

3. SWITCH LOCK-ON BUTTON

Depress the On/off Switch (5) then the Lock On Button 
(4); release the on/off switch first and the lock-on button 
second. Your switch is now locked on for continuous 
use. To switch off your tool just depress and release the 
on/off switch.

4. AUXILIARY HANDLE

Slide the handle onto the hammer and rotate to the 
desired working position. To clamp the auxiliary handle 
rotates the handle clockwise. To loosen the auxiliary 
handle rotate the handle anti-clockwise (See Fig. D).
