INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for hammer drilling
in concrete, brick and stone as well as for light
chiseling work. It is also suitable for drilling
without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and
plastic.
1. INSERTING AND REMOVING DRILL BIT
(See Fig. A)
• INSERTING
Clean the bit shank and apply grease before
installing the bit. Hold the rotary grip, pull back
the locking sleeve and insert the bits into the
bit holder. Turn the bit and push it in until a
resistance is felt, the shaft drops completely into
bit holder. Once you are satisfied it has seated,
release the black locking sleeve. This should lock
the bits into position.
After installing always make sure that the tool is
securely held in bit holder by trying to pull it out.
If the bit is not located well, repeat the installation
operation again.
• REMOVING
To remove the bit, pull back the locking sleeve,
hold and pull the bit out.
