Installing/removing SDS accessories or Keyed Chuck
See Fig. I
Note: The SDS Plus system allows the bit to move slightly within the chuck when inserted correctly.
• This tool is equipped with an SDS Plus attachment system. SDS Plus accessories have slotted
shanks to align and locate with the tabs within the SDS Plus Chuck (1)
• To attach an accessory:
1. Hold the tool securely and slide the Chuck Collar (2) towards the tool
2. Insert the accessory into the Chuck until resistance is felt against the accessory
3. Release the Chuck Collar to lock the accessory in place.
4. Check the accessory cannot be removed before attempting to use the tool. If removal is possible,
repeat the installation procedure
• To remove an accessory:
1. Pull the Chuck Collar towards the tool and remove the fitted accessory
Adjusting the Keyed Chuck
See Fig. II
WARNING
: The Keyed Chuck is not to be used for hammer drilling or chiselling applications
WARNING
: Always ensure the Chuck Key is removed from the Chuck before using the tool
• This drill comes with a Keyed Chuck (20) accessory that is more suited to drilling wood or steel
than the SDS Plus Chuck alone
• To adjust the Keyed Chuck:
1. Attach the Keyed Chuck to the SDS Plus Chuck (see ‘Installing/removing SDS accessories or Keyed
Chuck’)
2. Loosen or tighten the Keyed Chuck by inserting the Chuck Key (11) into the holes on the side of
the Keyed Chuck and rotating the Key; clockwise to tighten, anticlockwise to loosen
Installing the Auxiliary Handle
See Fig. III
1. Loosen the hand grip of the Auxiliary Handle (9) by rotating anticlockwise
2. Slide the Handle onto the drill
3. Tighten the Auxiliary Handle by rotating the hand grip clockwise
IMPORTANT
: Ensure the Auxiliary Handle is not tightened onto any moving parts of the tool
before use
Operation
WARNING
: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well
as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
Note
: The Dust Guard (15) should be fitted to the drill or chisel bit to prevent debris and dust
entering the chuck (Fig. IV). This is especially important when the drill is used at a raised angle when
working on walls or ceilings. For larger drill bits the Dust Guard may need to be fitted before the bit
is fitted in the chuck.
WARNING
: As the drill bit penetrates the workpiece, it may 'catch' or 'snag'. This can cause the
tool to suddenly 'kick'. Prevent any possibility of injury by always holding the drill securely, using
the Auxiliary (9) and Main Handle (22), and using sharp drill bits
WARNING
: Always ensure workpiece is secure. If appropriate use a vice or clamp to hold the
workpiece, and always keep two hands on the drill
Variable speed selection
See Fig. V
• The Variable Speed Control (7) is used to adjust the speed of the tool. Increasing the number
indicated on the Control will increase the speed of the tool operation, decreasing slows the speed
