Setting the Electronic Speed and Impact Control Dial (Fig. 1, 3)

Turn the dial (G) to the desired level. Turn the dial upwards for higher speed and 

downwards for lower speed. The required setting is a matter of experience. E.g.:
  –  when chiselling or drilling in soft, brittle materials or when minimum break-out is 

required, set the dial to a low setting;

  –  when breaking or drilling in harder materials, set the dial to a high setting.

Setting the Torque Control Switch (Fig. 3)

   

NOTICE:

 Always turn the tool off before changing torque control settings or 

damage to the tool may result.

Move the torque control lever (T) to setting 40 Nm or 80 Nm as needed for 

application.
     Clutch Setting 40 Nm (U) is designed for most drilling applications and is 

designed to easily clutch out when the drill bit encounters re-bar or other foreign 

substances.

     Clutch Setting 80 Nm (V) is designed for higher torque applications such as 

core-bits and deep hole drilling and is designed to clutch out at a higher torque 

threshold.

NOTE:

 Allow the motor housing to rotate a little while changing torque.

Each time the tool is plugged in, it will automatically default to clutch setting 1 into 

clutch setting 40 Nm (U), the most sensitive setting.

Indexing the Chisel Position (Fig. 5) 

FIG. 5

F

The chisel can be indexed and locked into 

18 different positions.
  1. Rotate the mode selector switch (F) until 

it points towards the   position.

  2. Rotate the chisel in the desired position.
  3. Set the mode selector switch (F) to the 

“hammering only” position.

  4. Twist the chisel until it locks in position.

OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious 

personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect 

tool from power source before making 

any adjustments or removing/installing 

attachments or accessories.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is 

anchored or clamped firmly.

 If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to 

prevent damage to the material.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS operate the tool with 

the side handle properly installed and securely tightened.

 Failure to do so may 

result in the side handle slipping during tool operation and subsequent loss of control.
