Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations. n Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. n Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents. n Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WORK AREA n Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. n 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. n Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. TOOL USE AND CARE n Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. n Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. n Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. n Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. n Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. n When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire. n Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. n Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. n Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool. n Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic. ELECTRICAL SAFETY n A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery. n Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire. n Use battery only with charger listed. MODEL BATTERY PACK CHARGER R8411501 130254003, 130252004 140276002 n Do not abuse the cord.

When not in use, the bit provided with this drill can be placed in the storage area located on the rear of the drill. DRILLING See Figure 15. When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the low speed feature allows starting holes without center punching if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate the drill at a low speed until the hole is started. The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates. Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start tool. Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Fig. 14 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 metals, use a 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. If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drill stalls, release switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming. Fig. 15 16 OPERATION TO ADJUST DRILLING OR HAMMER MODE HAMMER OPERATION See Figure 16. To adjust hammer drill to drilling or hammer operation, rotate mode selector in the direction of arrows as shown in Figure 16. For your convenience a hammer symbol and drill bit symbol have been molded into the selector. DRILLING OPERATION ADJUSTING RING WARNING: Your hammer drill has not been designed for reverse hammering. Reverse hammering may damage your drill. We recommend that you use carbide-tipped bits and select hammer mode when drilling in hard materials such as brick, tile, concrete, etc. Fig. 16 We recommend that you select normal drilling mode when drilling with twist drills, hole saws, etc. in steel and soft materials. MASONRY DRILLING n For maximum performance use carbide-tipped masonry impact bits when drilling holes in brick, tile, concrete, etc. WOOD DRILLING �n For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood drilling. n Turn mode selector on hammer drill to hammer mode. n Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results in brick. �n Turn mode selector ring on hammer drill to normal drilling action. n Apply additional pressure and high speed for hard materials such as concrete. �n Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material. n When drilling holes in tile, practice on a scrap piece to determine the best speed and pressure. �n 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. �n Do not lock the trigger on for jobs where your hammer drill may need to be stopped suddenly. METAL DRILLING n For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for metal or steel drilling. n Turn mode selector on hammer drill to normal drilling action. n Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. n 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. n When drilling large holes in metal, we recommend that you drill with a small bit at first, then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life. 17 MAINTENANCE MALLET WARNING: CHUCK JAWS When servicing use only identical RIDGID replacement parts.
