Adjustable depth rod

006759
The adjustable depth rod is used to drill holes of uniform
depth. Loosen the clamp screw, set to desired position,
then tighten the clamp screw.
Hook
3
006727
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
Hammer drilling operation
CAUTION:
There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force
•
exerted on the tool/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
operations. Failure to do so may result in the loss of
control of the tool and potentially severe injury.
First, slide the action mode change lever so that it points
to the marking. The adjusting ring can be aligned in
any torque levels for this operation.
Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.
Position the bit at the desired location for the hole, then
pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light
pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position and
prevent it from slipping away from the hole.
Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes
clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an

idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole. By
repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out
and normal drilling may be resumed.
Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)
002449
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the
dust out of the hole.
Screwdriving operation
006756
First, slide the action mode change lever so that it points
to the marking. Adjust the adjusting ring to the proper
torque level for your work. Then proceed as follows.
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and
apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then
increase the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger
as soon as the clutch cuts in.
NOTE:
Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in
•
the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be
damaged.
When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to
•
make driving easier and to prevent splitting of the
workpiece. See the chart.
