• Due to our continuing programme of research and

development, the specifications herein are subject to

change without notice.

• Note: Specifications may differ from country to country.

Power supply

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of

the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can

only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are

double-insulated in accordance with European Standard

and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without

earth wire.

Safety hints

For your own safety, please refer to enclosed safety

instructions.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses

and/or face shield. It is also highly recommended

that you wear a dust mask, ear protectors and

thickly padded gloves.

2. Be sure the bit is secured in place before opera-

tion.

3. Under normal operation, the tool is designed to

produce vibration. The screws can come loose

easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check

tightness of screws carefully before operation.

4. In cold weather or when the tool has not been

used for a long time, let the tool warm up for sev-

eral minutes by operating it under no load. This

will loosen up the lubrication. Without proper

warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.

5. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no

one is below when using the tool in high locations.

6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

7. Keep hands away from moving parts.

8. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

9. Do not point the tool at any one in the area when

operating. The bit could fly out and injure some-

one seriously.

10. When chipping into walls, floors or wherever “live”

electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT

TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold

the tool by the insulated grasping surfaces to pre-

vent electric shock if you chip into a “live” wire.

11. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit imme-

diately after operation; they may be extremely hot

and could burn your skin.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing or removing bit

Important:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before installing or removing the bit.

This tool accepts 3/4” Hexagonal and 21/32” round shank

bits. Clean the bit shank and apply the bit grease pro-

vided to it before installing the bit. (Fig. 1)

Pull the tool holder cover down all the way. (Fig. 2-1)

With the cut in the bit shank aligned with the notch in the

tool holder cap, insert the bit into the tool holder. (Fig. 2-2)

Release the tool holder cover. It will return automatically

to its original position to secure the bit. (Fig. 2-3)

After installing, always make sure that the bit is securely

held in place by trying to pull it out.

To remove the bit, pull the tool holder cover down all the

way and pull the bit out.

Bit angle (Fig. 3)

The bit can be secured at 12 different angles. To change

the bit angle, slide the change ring forward, then turn the

change ring to change the bit angle. At the desired angle,

slide the change ring back to the original position. Then

turn the change ring slightly so that the bit will be secured

in place with a little click.

Side handle (auxiliary handle)

The side handle can be swung 360° on the vertical and

secured at any desired position. It also secures at eight

different positions back and forth on the horizontal. Just

loosen the clamp nut to swing the side handle to a desired

position. Then tighten the clamp nut securely. (Fig. 4)

The side handle also can be mounted in the rear groove

as shown in Fig. 5. Loosen the clamp nut and widen the

side handle base. Slide the side handle back to the rear

groove and secure it with the clamp nut. (Fig. 5)
