FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Switch action
Fig.1
CAUTION:
•
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
•
Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of
operator comfort during extended use. Apply
caution when locking tool in "ON" position and
maintain firm grasp on tool.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is
increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation,
pull the switch trigger, push in the lock button and then
release the switch trigger. To stop the tool from the locked
position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it.
Reversing switch action
Fig.2
CAUTION:
•
Always check the direction of rotation before
operation.
•
Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes
to a complete stop. Changing the direction of
rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.
•
If the switch trigger can not be depressed, check
to see that the reversing switch is fully set to
position
(A side) or
(B side).
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to
the
position (A side) for clockwise rotation or
the
position (B side) for counterclockwise rotation.
Selecting the action mode
Fig.3
This tool employs an action mode changing knob.
Select one of the two modes suitable for your work
needs by using this knob.
For rotation only, turn the knob so that the arrow on the
knob points toward the
symbol on the tool body.
For rotation with hammering, turn the knob so that the arrow
on the knob points toward the
symbol on the tool body.
CAUTION:
•
Always set the knob fully to your desired mode
symbol. If you operate the tool with the knob
positioned halfway between the mode symbols,
the tool may be damaged.
•
Use the knob after the tool comes to a complete
stop.
Torque limiter
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque
level is reached. The motor will disengage from the
output shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.
CAUTION:
•
As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off
the tool immediately. This will help prevent
premature wear of the tool.
•
Bits such as hole saw, which tend to pinch or
catch easily in the hole, are not appropriate for this
tool. This is because they will cause the torque
limiter to actuate too frequently.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
Side grip (auxiliary handle)
Fig.4
CAUTION:
•
Always use the side grip to ensure operating
safety.
Install the side grip so that the protrusions on the grip fit
in between the grooves on the tool barrel. Then tighten
the thumb screw to fix the grip at the desired position. It
may be swung 360° so as to be secured at any position.
Bit grease
Coat the bit shank head beforehand with a small
amount of bit grease (about 0.5 - 1 g).
This chuck lubrication assures smooth action and longer
service life.
Installing or removing the bit
Fig.5
Clean the bit shank and apply bit grease before
installing the bit.
Fig.6
Insert the bit into the tool. Turn the bit and push it in until
it engages.
After installing, always make sure that the bit is securely
held in place by trying to pull it out.
Fig.7
To remove the bit, pull the chuck cover down all the way
and pull the bit out.
Depth gauge
Fig.8
The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of
uniform depth. Loosen the thumb screw and adjust the
depth gauge to the desired depth. After adjusting,
tighten the thumb screw firmly.
