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 operations. Failure to do so may result in
the loss of control of the tool and potentially severe injury.
Set the action mode changing knob to the
Position the drill 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
drill bit partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, the
hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling may be resumed.
NOTE: Eccentricity in the drill bit rotation may occur
while operating the tool with no load. The tool auto-
matically centers itself during operation. This does not
affect the drilling precision.
Chipping/Scaling/Demolition
Set the action mode changing knob to the
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on
and apply slight pressure on the tool so that the tool will
not bounce around, uncontrolled.
Pressing very hard on the tool will not increase the efficiency.
