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

and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses

are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recom-

mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly

padded gloves.

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

tion.

6. 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.

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

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

while by operating it under no load. This will

loosen up the lubrication. Without proper warm-

up, hammering operation is difficult.

8. Always be sure you have a firm footing.

Be sure no one is below when using the tool in

high locations.

9. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

10. Keep hands away from moving parts.

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

only when hand-held.

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

operating. The bit could fly out and injure some-

one seriously.

13. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit

immediately after operation; they may be

extremely hot and could burn your skin.

14. Some material contains chemicals which may be

toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation

and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety

data.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in

this instruction manual may cause serious personal

injury.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of

the battery cartridge.

• To remove the battery cartridge, pull out the set plate

on the tool and grasp both sides of the cartridge while

withdrawing it from the tool.

• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the

battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip

it into place. Snap the set plate back into place. Be sure

to close the set plate fully before using the tool to pre-

vent the battery cartridge from accidentally falling out of

the tool.

Installing or removing drill bit (Fig. 2, 3, 4)

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery cartridge is removed before installing or removing

the bit.

Clean the bit shank and apply the bit grease provided to

it before installing the bit.

Insert the bit into the tool. Turn the bit and push it in until

it engages.

If the bit cannot be pushed in, remove the bit. Pull the

chuck cover down a couple of times. Then insert the bit

again. 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.

To remove the bit, pull the chuck cover down all the way

and pull the bit out.

Depth gauge (Fig. 5)

The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of uni-

form depth. Insert the depth gauge into the hole in the

grip base. Adjust the depth gauge to the desired depth

and then tighten the clamp screw to secure the depth

gauge.

NOTE:

The depth gauge cannot be used at the position where

the depth gauge strikes against the gear housing.

Switch action (Fig. 6)

CAUTION:

Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always

check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and

returns to the “OFF” position when released.

To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Tool speed is

increased by increasing pressure on the trigger. Release

the trigger to stop.

Reversing switch action

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of

rotation. Move the lever to the n position for clockwise

rotation or the o position for counterclockwise rotation.

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.

• Do not pull the switch trigger when the reversing switch

lever is in the neutral position. If you pull the trigger

forcibly, the switch may be damaged.

Selecting the action mode (Fig. 7)

This tool employs an action mode changing knob. Select

one of three 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 mark on the tool

body. For hammering only, turn the knob so that the

arrow on the knob points toward the mark on the tool

body. For rotation with hammering, turn the knob so that

the arrow on the knob points toward the mark on the

tool body.

CAUTION:

• The action mode changing knob may not be turned to

your desired mode mark when the tool is not running.

In this case, pull the switch trigger half-way and turn the

knob while the tool is running under no load at low

speed.

• Always set the knob fully to your desired mode mark. If

you operate the tool with the knob positioned half-way

between the mode marks, the tool may be damaged.
