included) for the purposes listed below:
1. Drilling in all types of wood products (lumber, plywood,
paneling, composition board and hard board)
2. Drilling in ceramics, plastics, fiberglass, and laminates
3. Drilling in metals

APPLICATIONS
The variable speed switch trigger (1) delivers higher speed
with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with
decreased trigger pressure.
A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch during
use is a normal part of the switch function.
NOTE: Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the tool to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the
tool by running it without a load and at full speed.
NOTE: The tool will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
・ To turn the tool ON , depress the switch trigger.
・
To turn the tool OFF , release the switch trigger.
SWITCH TRIGGER (Fig. 1)
For drilling in metal, wood, and plastic with non-SDS Plus
drill bits, a chuck adaptor may be used.
CHUCK ADAPTOR (Not Included)
Set the forward/reverse switch (2) in the
OFF
(center lock)
position to lock the switch trigger and help prevent
accidental starting when not in use.
Position the direction of rotation selector to the left of the
switch trigger for forward operation. Position the selector to
the right of the switch trigger to reverse the direction.
FORWARD/REVERSE SWITCH (Fig. 2, 3)
This tool is equipped with an SDS Plus bit system.
To install bits:
Remove the battery pack.
Clean the bit and grease it with machine grease before
installing it into the chuck.
1. Insert the bit (4) into the chuck (5).
2-3. Rotate the bit while pushing it until it is inserted as far
as possible into the chuck.
Pull on the bit to make sure it has locked into place.
To remove bits from the SDS Plus System:
1. Pull back the clamp collar (6)
2. Remove the bit.
NOTE: When hammer drilling, use only bits with hard metal
andSDS Plus shaft.
NOTE: Rotary hammer mode will damage the tool’s mechanism
when used for fastening or drilling with non-SDS Plus bits.
The mode selector (7) gives the operator two options.
Rotational Drilling Mode
Drill bit rotation only; no hammering action.
Use for drilling and other heavy duty applications.
Rotary Hammer Mode
Hammering action plus drill bit rotation.
Use for hammer drilling.
2-3. Press the depth gauge locking button (11), slide the depth
gauge (8) into the hex-shaped hole on top of the collar,
and set the desired depth for drilling, then release the
depth gauge locking button (11).

USING THE DEPTH GAUGE (Fig. 8)
To install battery pack (9), set the forward/reverse switch in
the OFF (center lock) position to lock the switch trigger and
help prevent accidental starting. Align the body with the
groove in the battery pack and push in the direction of the
arrow until the battery pack is secured on the tool.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, push the battery
clip (10) on and remove the battery pack in the direction of
the arrow.
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING BATTERY
PACK (Fig. 9)
For maximum performance, use carbide-tipped masonry
impact bits or designated hammer drill bits when drilling
holes in brick, tile, concrete, etc. Select hammer mode.
・
Apply light pressure at medium speed for best results in brick.
・ Apply additional pressure for hard materials such as concrete.
・ When drilling holes in tile, practice on a scrap piece to
determine the best speed and pressure. Begin drilling at
a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the
starting point.
