OPERATION
NOTICE: Rotate the chuck body in the
direction of the arrow marked OPEN to
close the chuck jaws. Do not use a
wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck
jaws.
3. Remove the drill bit.
GENERAL DRILLING (FIG. 9)
1. Check the direction of rotation selector
for the correct setting (forward or
reverse).
2. Secure the material to be drilled in a vise
or with clamps to keep it from turning as
the drill bit rotates.
3. Hold the hammer drill firmly and place
the bit at the point to be drilled.
4. Depress the trigger switch to start the
hammer drill.
5. Move the drill bit to contact the work-
piece, applying only enough pressure
to keep the bit cutting. Do not force the
drill or apply side pressure to elongate a
hole. Let the tool do the work.
6. When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use
a center punch to mark the desired
location of the hole. This will prevent the
drill bit from slipping off-center as the
hole is started.
7. When drilling metals, use light oil on
the drill bit to keep it from overheating.
The oil will prolong the life of the bit and
increase the drilling action.
8. If the bit jams in the workpiece or if
the hammer drill stalls, stop the tool
immediately. Remove the bit from the
workpiece and determine the reason for
jamming.
NOTICE: This hammer drill is equipped
with an electric brake. When the brake is
functioning properly, sparks may be
visible through the vent slots in the
housing. This is normal and is the action
of the brake.
DRILLING MODE OPERATION
1. Select the desired speed to match the
planned operation.
2. For wood drilling, use twist bits, spade
bits, power auger bits or hole saws.
Begin drilling at a very low speed to
prevent the bit from slipping off of the
starting point and increase the speed
as the drill bit bites into the material.
When drilling “through” holes, place a
block of wood behind the workpiece to
prevent ragged or splintered edges on
the back side of the hole.
3. For metal drilling, use high speed steel
twist drill bits. Begin drilling at a very low
speed to prevent the bit from slipping
off of the starting point. Maintain a
speed and pressure which allows
cutting without overheating the bit. Use
light oil on the drill bit to keep it from
overheating; the oil will prolong the life
of the bit and increase the drilling action.
4. If the hammer drill stalls, it is usually
because it is being overloaded.
Release the trigger switch immediately,
remove the drill bit from work, and
determine the cause of stalling.
