APPLICATIONS
(Use only for the purposes listed below.)
1. Drilling wood, metal and resin boards.
2. Drilling concrete (impact drill only).
MOUNTING OF BIT (Fig. 1)
When mounting the masonry drill (17), insert the bit into chuck (1) as
far as it will go and tighten securely using the chuck key (6) provided.
There are three holes into which the chuck key should be inserted.
Tighten each one equally in turn.
The bit can be removed by following the above method in reverse.
SWITCH (Fig. 2)
This tool starts and stops by depressing and releasing the switch(2).
The speed can be adjusted from 0 through 3,000 min
-1
by regulating
the trigger-squeezing force.
For continuous operation, press the lock button(3) while switch is de-
pressed. Depress again to release the lock.
The speed control dial(7)allows setting a limit on the desired speed.
CHANGING DIRECTION (Fig. 2)
To reverse the direction of rotation, stop the drill by releasing the trig-
ger and push the reversing lever (4) to the right or left.
When the reversing switch is in the position marked “F”, the direction
of rotation will be clockwise when viewed from the handle end of the
drill. When the reversing switch is in the position marked “R” , the
direction of rotation will be counterclockwise.
OPERATION OF PERCUSSION GEAR (Fig. 3)
An impact shifting knob (5) has been provided on top of the gear
case.
DRILLING -
Shift the impact knob to the symbol indicating
“ ” for rotation without impact action.
IMPACT MODE -
Shift the impact knob to the symbol indicating
“ ” for impact drilling.
OPERATING (Fig. 4)
NEVER COVER AIR VENTS SINCE THEY MUST ALWAYS BE OPEN
FOR PROPER MOTOR COOLING.
DRILLING IN WOOD
To prevent ugly splits around the drillhole on the reverse side of the
workpiece, place a scrap piece of lumber beneath the material to be
drilled.
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 a
punch.
DRILLING IN CONCRETE
Rock and masonry are generally drilled in the impact mode.
When drilling 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 boreholes the drill bit should be pulled out occasionally in
order to remove the dust and chips from the hole.
AUX. HANDLE AND ADJUSTMENT STOPPER
Install the aux. handle (9) on the head of the housing and insert the
depth gauge (8) in the hole provided.
The aux. handle can swivel 360° for the most comfortable position and
easiest operation.
The stopper helps keep an accurate depth when drilling holes.
MAINTENANCE
After use, check the tool to make sure that it is in top condition.
It is recommended that you take this tool to a Ryobi Authorized Service
Center for a thorough cleaning and lubrication at least once a year.
DO NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS WHILE THE MOTOR IS IN
MOTION.
