Installing the dust cup set
NOTICE:
If you purchase the dust cup set as
optional accessory, the standard side grip cannot
be used with the dust cup set being installed on
the tool. When the dust cup set is installed on the
tool, remove the grip from the standard side grip, and
then attach it to the optional grip base set.

NOTICE:
Do not use the dust cup set when drill-
ing in metal or similar. It may damage the dust cup
set due to the heat produced by small metal dust or
similar. Do not install or remove the dust cup set with
the drill bit installed in the tool. It may damage the
dust cup set and cause dust leak.
Before installing the dust cup set, remove the bit from
the tool if installed.
1. Install the spacer so that the grooves on the
spacer fit in the protrusions on the tool barrel while wid-
ening it. Be careful for the spring not to come off from
the slit of spacer.

2. Install the side grip (optional grip base set and
the grip removed from standard side grip) so that the
groove on the grip fit in the protrusion on the spacer.
Turn the grip clockwise to secure it.

3. Install the dust cup set so that the claws of the
dust cup fit in in the slits on the spacer.

NOTE: If it is difficult to remove the dust cup set,
remove the claws of the dust cup one by one by
swinging and pulling the root of the dust cup.
NOTE: If the cap comes off from the dust cup, attach
it with its printed side facing up so that groove on the
cap fits in the inside periphery of the attachment.

Hook
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Always remove the battery when
hanging the tool with the hook.
CAUTION:
Never hook the tool at high location
or on potentially unstable surface.
► Fig.24: 1. Groove 2. Hook 3. Screw
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw.
To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always use the side grip (auxiliary
handle) and firmly hold the tool by both side grip
and switch handle during operations.
CAUTION:
Always make sure that the work-
piece is secured before operation.
NOTE: If the battery cartridge is in low temperature,
the tool's capability may not be fully obtained. In this
case, warm up the battery cartridge by using the
tool with no load for a while to fully obtain the tool's
capability.

Hammer drilling operation
CAUTION:
There is tremendous and sudden
twisting force exerted on the tool/drill bit at the time of
hole break-through, when the hole becomes clogged
with chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing
rods embedded in the concrete. Always use the side
grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool by
both side grip and switch handle during opera-
tions. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control
of the tool and potentially severe injury.
