The operating modes are
controlled by changing the
positions of the side and rear
mode dials.
Note:
To adjust the side mode
dial, press the locking button
while rotating the mode dial to
the desired setting.
Drilling
Use this setting when you
want the accessory to
rotate
without hammer action. Ideal
for drilling into timber or
steel
when correct accessories
for such materials are used.
Rotate the side mode selector
to the hammer/drill icon and
the rear mode lever to the drill icon.
Hammer Drilling
Use this setting when
drilling
holes in concrete and other
masonry products. The
hammer action will be in
operation
while the drill bit
rotates.
Rotate the side mode selector
to the hammer/drill icon and
the rear mode lever to the hammer drill icon.
Chiselling
Use this when you want the
hammer action without the
drill action
which is ideal for
“chiselling or chipping” away
at masonry products. Pick or
chisel accessory bits should
be used.
Rotate the mode selector to the
chisel icon and the rear mode lever to the hammer drill icon.
On/Off Trigger
1 To start the tool, squeeze the on/off
trigger.
Note:
The further you press the on/off
trigger, the fast the tool will operate.
2 To stop the tool, release the on/off trigger.
Adjusting The Speed
1 Rotate the speed setting dial
to the desired speed.
Using The Hammer Drill
Before starting to drill or chisel, perform a few simple checks.
1 Depress and release the trigger to ensure it is not locked on.
2 Ensure the workpiece is clamped and
secured where possible.
3 Hold the drill firmly in the position you want to drill
4 Start the tool and move the
tool into the workpiece.
Note:
Do not force the drill or
apply side pressure. Let the
tool do all the work.
5. To drill to a pre-determined
depth, adjust the depth rod
so that the drill bit protrudes
past by the depth of the hole
required.
Then drill as normal until
the depth rod touches the
surface of the workpiece.
