LOCK-ON BUTTON
The “Lock-On” button (2-fIG 1) is located in the handle of your tool beside the trigger switch. It allows you to
continuously operate the drill at a preset RPM without holding down the trigger switch.
To Lock the Trigger “ON”
, pull the trigger switch back fully, depress the “Lock-On” button and release the
trigger.
To Unlock the Trigger,
squeeze the trigger back completely then release it without depressing the “Lock-On”
button.
FORWARD/REVERSE SELECTOR
Located above the trigger is the forward/reverse selector (3-fIG 1). This selector is designed to allow you to
select the direction the drill chuck rotates. for drilling, hammer drilling and driving screws, the drill is run in the
forward or clockwise direction. Reverse or counter-clockwise rotation, is generally used to help back out a drill
bit from a hole and screw removal.
For Forward Rotation
, push the selector to the left.
For Reverse Rotation,
push the selector to the right.
WArNING:
Do not change the direction of rotation until the tool comes to a
complete stop. Moving the “forward/reverse” lever while the drill chuck is rotating can
cause damage to the tool.
WArNING:
Always check the direction of rotation before tool operation.
WArNING:
This drill is not designed for hammering in the reverse or counter-
clockwise direction. Failure to comply with this caution may cause property damage.
MODE SELECTOR
The mode selector (4-fIG 1) gives you the ability to operate this tool in two different modes. One setting provides
rotation only for driving screws and drilling holes in wood, metal, plastic and other non-concrete material. The
rotation only mode is also used for stirring paint, sanding, wire brushing, etc. The second mode provides rotation
and hammering action. Rotation with hammering action gives you the ability to bore holes in concrete, asphalt,
tile, brick or other similar hard materials.
To Select the Drill Only Mode
, move the selector completely to the right, toward the drill symbol
.
To Select Hammering Action or Hammer Drill Mode
, move the selector completely to the left, toward the
hammer symbol
.
NOTE:
To engage the hammering mechanism, apply and maintain pressure on the bit. When pressure on the
bit is released, the hammering action will stop and the rotation will continue until the tool is switched off.
NOTE:
When using the hammer drill mode for drilling into hard material like concrete, we recommend that
you use carbide-tipped percussion drill bits.
WArNING:
Do not change the operating mode until the tool has come to
a complete stop. Moving the mode selector while the drill is operating can cause
damage to the tool.
INSTALLING BITS
Inspect the drill bit shank and the drill’s chuck jaws for dirt or foreign matter and clean them if necessary. Dirt
on the drill bit shank or on the chuck jaws can cause misalignment or bit slippage during use. Drill bits larger
than the hammer drill’s maximum rated capacity may cause the motor to overload and/or gear damage.
WArNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before
adjusting, adding accessories, or checking a function on the tool. Failure to unplug the
tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury.
To Install a Drill Bit:
• unplug the hammer drill.
• Open the chuck jaws so the opening is slightly wider than the drill bit being installed.
• Position the drill so the chuck is pointing upward then insert the drill bit, allowing the bit to rest on the bottom
of the chuck. for small bits, insert the drill bit so that the bottoms of its flutes are even with the top of the
chuck jaws.
