must be
pointing at a mode symbol at all times. There are no
operable positions in between. It may be necessary to briefly
run the motor after having changed from 'hammering only'
to 'rotary' modes in order to align the gears.
Performing an Application (Fig. A, K)
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:
Always wait until the motor has come to
a complete standstill before changing the direction
of rotation.
1. Choose and install the appropriate chuck, adapter, and/
or bit onto to the tool. Refer to

Recommendations for Tool Operation
• Large (5/16" to 1/2" [7.9 mm to 12.7 mm]) holes in steel
can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [4 mm
to 4.8 mm]) is drilled first.
• When drilling, always apply pressure in a straight line
with the bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the
motor or deflect the bit. A smooth even flow of material
indicates the proper drilling rate.
• If drilling thin material or material that is prone to
splinter, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage
to the work piece.
WARNING:
• Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily
combustible or explosive fluids (benzine,
alcohol, etc.).
• Do not mix or stir inflammable liquids
labelled accordingly.
