when the hole is deep enough to drill without the bit skipping out.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
When drilling in masonry, use carbide tipped bits rated for masonry drilling. Be certain
that the bit is sharp. Ensure that the hammer mode is selected. Use a constant and
firm force on the tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates
the proper drilling rate.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
CAUTION: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the
non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials
used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt
and grease may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft
non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaning solutions.
Lubrication
Your tool was properly lubricated before leaving the factory. In from two to six
months, depending upon use, take or send your tool to an authorized service
center for a complete cleaning, inspection and lubrication. Tools used constantly on
production jobs will need relubrication more often. Also, tools “out of service” for
long periods should be relubricated before being put back to work.
