001693 

The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of 
uniform depth. Loosen the side grip and insert the depth 
gauge into the hole in the grip base. Adjust the depth 
gauge to the desired depth and tighten the side grip. 

 

NOTE: 

The depth gauge cannot be used at the position where 
the depth gauge strikes against the gear housing. 

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

001694 

CAUTION: 

• 

Before plugging in the tool, always check to see 
that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns 
to the "OFF" position when released. 

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed 
is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. 
Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous 
operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the 
lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull 
the switch trigger fully, then release it. 

Reversing switch action 

1

A

B

 

 

001695 

 

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of 
rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the 

 

position (A side) for clockwise rotation or to the 

 

position (B side) for counterclockwise rotation. 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Always check the direction of rotation before 
operation. 

• 

Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes 
to a complete stop. Changing the direction of 
rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool. 

Selecting the action mode 

1

 

 

001696 

This tool has an action mode change lever. For rotation 
with hammering, slide the action mode change lever to 
the right (

 symbol). For rotation only, slide the action 

mode change lever to the left (  symbol). 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Always slide the action mode change lever all the 
way to your desired mode position. If you operate 
the tool with the lever positioned halfway between 
the mode symbols, the tool may be damaged. 

OPERATION 

Hammer drilling operation 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

There is tremendous and sudden twisting force 
exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole 
break-through, when the hole becomes clogged 
with chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing 
rods embedded in the concrete. Always use the 
side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool 
by both side grip and switch handle during 
operations. Failure to do so may result in the loss of 
control of the toll and potentially serve injury. 

When drilling in concrete, granite, tile, etc., slide the 
action mode change lever to the position of 

 symbol 

to use "rotation with hammering" action. Be sure to use a 
tungsten-carbide tipped bit. Do not apply more pressure 
when the hole becomes clogged with chips or particles. 
Instead, run the tool at an idle, then remove the bit 
partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, 
the hole will be cleaned out.
