Setting The Depth Gauge
Mounted in your hammer drill auxiliary handle is a rod called the depth gauge. Setting the depth
gauge gives you the ability to repeatedly drill holes to the same depth.
To set the depth gauge:
• unplug the hammer drill.
• Turn the auxiliary handle and push the hex head of bolt off its socket to release the depth gauge
rod.
• Measure backwards from the tip of drill bit the desired depth of holes, and then move the depth
gauge so the tip of the gauge is aligned with the desired drilling depth.
• Tighten the auxiliary handle and lock the depth gauge by turning the handle clockwise.

tool. The tool must be set for forward or clockwise rotation only. Failure to obey
this caution may cause property damage.

WARnIng:
or kick back exerted by the tool. The tendency for the drill to grab or kick
back in the opposite direction is caused by hole breakthrough, the hole
becoming clogged with chips or concrete/masonry dust, or by striking hidden
reinforcing bar embedded in the concrete. Always maintain a firm grip on
both the auxiliary handle and switch handle during drilling and hammer drilling
operations. Failure to be prepared may result in loss of tool control and
possible serious injury.
Drilling in concrete and masonry products
• unplug the drill from the power source
• Install the desired size drill bit and tighten the chuck.
(Important Note: Be sure to use percussion type carbide tipped drill bit)
• Select the "hammer drill" mode.
• Move the forward/reverse lever to the forward position.
• Set the depth gauge if needed and position the auxiliary handle.
• Tighten the wing nut on the auxiliary handle.
• Secure the work piece in a vise, with clamps or other means if necessary to keep the work piece
from spinning as the drill bit rotates.
• Mark the location(s) on work piece where the holes are to be drilled.
• Be sure you are wearing appropriate eye protection, hearing protection, and respiratory protection.
you may want to wear gloves with padded palms to minimize vibration to hands and arms.
• Before plugging the hammer drill into a power source, make sure it is not in the "locked-on"
position and the switch trigger operates properly.
• Plug the hammer drill into a power source.
• Position the drill bit at the desired location for the hole.
• Hold the drill firmly, apply moderate downward pressure and slowly pull the switch trigger.
• Keep the tool in position, preventing the drill bit from wandering. (If the hammer drill bounces or
"dances" on the work piece, increase the downward pressure on the drill.)
