CHANGING BETWEEN DRILLING AND IMPACT
DRILLING MODE
See Figure 5.
The drilling mode shift knob (6) for changing between
the drilling mode and impact drilling mode is positioned
on the top of the tool.
DRILLING MODE: Shift the knob to the "
" and
showing "
" symbol for drilling.
IMPACT DRILLING MODE: Shift the knob to the "
"
and showing "
" symbol for impact drilling.
OPERATING
NEVER COVER THE AIR VENTS (9) SINCE THEY MUST
ALWAYS BE OPEN FOR PROPER MOTOR COOLING.
DRILLING IN WOOD
To prevent ugly splits around the drill hole on the reverse
side of the workpiece, put a piece of scrap timber under
the work piece.
DRILLING IN METAL
Metals such as steel, brass, aluminum sheets, stainless
steel, and pipe may also be drilled. Mark the point to be
drilled with a nail or punch.
Do not use impact drilling mode on these materials.
DRILLING IN CONCRETE
Stone and masonry are generally drilled in the impact
drilling mode.
When drilling in delicate materials such as wall tiles,
it is essential to start with ordinary drilling and, once the
tile is pierced, to continue with impact drilling.
In deep bore holes the drill bit should be pulled out
occasionally in order to remove the debris from the
drill and hole.
AUXILIARY HANDLE
See Figure 6.
Auxiliary handle
The auxiliary handle (7) can be rotated 360º.
