Adjusting the Side Handle Position
1. Loosen the side handle by unscrewing the side
handle grip until the side handle rotates freely.
2. Rotate the side handle to the desired position.
3. Tighten the side handle grip securely.
Setting the Depth Gauge
1. Press in the clamping lever.
2. Slide the depth gauge rod backward or forward
until it is set for the desired depth.
NOTE: The drilling depth is the distance between
the tip of the bit and the tip of the rod.
3. Release the clamping lever.
Installing Drill Bits and Chisels
Only use accessories with SDS or SDS Plus shanks.
Be sure that the shank of the bit is clean. Dirt par-
ticles may cause the bit to line up improperly. Do not
use bits larger than the maximum recommended
capacity of the drill because gear damage or mo-
tor overloading may result. For best performance,
be sure that the bit is properly sharpened and the
shank is lightly greased before use.
1. Insert the bit or chisel into the nose of the tool.
2. Rotate bit slowly until it aligns with the locking
mechanism.
3. Push bit into tool until it locks.
4. Check that the bit is locked properly; it should
be possible to pull the bit back and forth slightly
(about 1/4").
5. To remove bits and chisels,
pull bit holder release collar
toward the rear of tool and
remove bit.
NOTE: Use caution when
handling hot bits and chis-
els.
