WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

A

WARNING!
Read all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term
"power tool" in all of the warnings listed below
refers to the mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK

SAFETY

AREA

[]

[]

[] Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
[] Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
[] Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
[] Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
[] Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
[] Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
[] Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
[] When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
[] Use battery

[]

[]

not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position
before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
if devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.

[] Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
[] Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
[] Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
[] Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
[] Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
[] Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.

[]

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.

[]

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.

stop rod should be aligned with the teeth indicator on the
depth gauge clamp.

DEPTHSTOPROD

SCALE
TEETH

Adjust the depth stop rod so that the drill bit extends
beyond the end of the rod to the required drilling depth.
When drilling holes with the depth stop rod installed, the
desired hole depth has been reached when the end of the
rod comes in contact with the surface of the workpiece.

SELECTING A DRILLING
See Figure 14.

MODE

To adjust for type of drilling, slide the mode selector on
the side of the motor housing to hammer mode, screw
mode, or drilling mode.
Select screw mode for driving screws. Screw mode
operates with user adjusted torque. (See Adjustable
Torque Clutch.)
Drill mode is for full torque operations only and bypasses
the clutch setting. Select drill mode when drilling with
twist drills, hole saws, etc., in soft materials, or when the
application calls for full torque of the drill.
Select hammer mode for masonry, brick, tile, and
concrete. For maximum performance, use carbide-tipped
impact masonry bits.
To use the hammer mode:
[] Rotate the mode selector to the hammer mode.
[] Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results
in brick.
[] Apply additional pressure and high speed for hard
materials such as concrete.

Fig. 15

[] When drilling holes in tile, practice on a scrap piece to
determine the best speed and pressure.

DRILLING

NOTE: The hammer drill has not been designed for
reverse hammering.

Levels are located on the top and end of the motor
housing to help keep the drill bit level during use.
[] Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct

setting (forward or reverse).
Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.

[]

Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled.

[]

Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.

[]

Move the drill bit into the workpiece, 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.

_IL

WARNING:

Be prepared for binding at bit

breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill has
a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction
of rotation and could cause loss of control when
breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss
of control can result in possible serious injury.
[] When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center
punch to mark the desired hole location. This will
prevent the drill bit from slipping off-center as the hole
is started.

use high speed steel bits for

[] Select normal drilling mode.
[] Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit
from slipping off the starting point.
[] Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting
without overheating the bit. Applying too much
pressure will:
• Overheat the drill;
Wear the bearings;
Bend or burn bits; and
Produce off-center or irregular-shaped

holes.

[] When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit,
then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with
oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life.
MASONRY DRILLING
For maximum performance, use carbide-tipped masonry
impact bits when drilling holes in brick, tile, concrete, etc.
