Stanley Black & Decker HD01 BIT Installation, Drill Operation, Side Handle, Modes of Operation

OPERATION

SIDE HANDLE

The side handle assembly, including the depth gauge, fits over the front housing of the hammer drill to assist the operator in maneuvering the tool.

To adjust the side handle to a comfortable position, twist the hand grip in a counterclockwise direction and reposi- tion the handle assembly. Once in position, tighten the handle assembly by twisting the hand grip in a clockwise direction.

Do not clamp the side handle to the front nose collar. Clamp the handle only to the housing, against the body shoulder. The side handle should be securely attached to the hammer drill during op­eration.

BIT INSTALLATION

Bits with SDS Plus shanks are mounted directly into the tool holder of the hammer drill. It is a good practice to slightly grease or oil the bit shanks before inserting them.

To install SDS Plus shanked bits or the bull-point chis- el bit, insert the bit shank into the tool holder/locking sleeve. Then push the bit down and turn it slightly until it fits into the slots. Pull on the bit to check if it is properly locked. To remove the bit, push down on the tool holder/ locking sleeve (F) (See figure 3) and pull out the bit.

Figure 4. Hammer Drill Accessories

To install twin-groove shank, ratio thread shank, taper shank, or through-hole shank bits, install the Drill Holder Adapter as described above. Then simply screw the ap- propriate bit holder onto the drill holder adapter. Figure 4 illustrates these adapters and bit holders.

To install the Geared Chuck for use with standard drill

bits and screwdriver bits in non-percussion drill mode, install the Drill Chuck/Screwdriver Bit Adapter as de- scribed above. Then install the appropriate bit into the Geared Chuck and tighten with the chuck key. Figure 3 illustrates the adapter, Geared Chuck, and various stan- dard bits.

DRILL OPERATION

Operate the HD01 Hammer Drill as follows:

1.Observe all safety precautions.

2.Install the appropriate adapters and/or bits into the hammer drill. Refer to the BIT INSTALLATION for details.

3.Set the hammer drill controls, side handle, and depth gauge. Refer to the CONTROLS section for details.

IMPORTANT

When operating the hammer drill in hammer mode, always use drill bits and accessories designed for impact type applications. DO NOT USE STANDARD DRILL BITS OR ACCESSORIES. THESE CAN CRACK OR FRACTURE DURING OPERATION.

4.Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the ON position.

5.Squeeze the trigger to activate the drill.

6.Release the trigger to stop the drill.

MODES OF OPERATION

The hammer drill can operate in either drill only mode (without percussion), hammer drill mode (drill with per- cussion) or hammer only mode (with percussion).

In drill only mode, the hammer drill can be used for pe- riodic light duty drilling. For extended use or heavy duty drilling use the Stanley DLO7 Hydraulic Drill.

The following sections provide operational guidelines­ for drilling, hammer drilling or chiselling.

DRILLING (NON-PERCUSSION)

Use the Drill Chuck/Screwdriver Bit Adapter and the Geared Chuck for periodic, light-duty drilling applica- tions.

With the Geared Chuck mounted on the tool, loosen the chuck first with the chuck key, and then turn the chuck sleeve counterclockwise (looking at the chuck end of the tool) by hand. Loosen until the bit shank fits into the hole for the shank. Insert the appropriate bit shank into the chuck and tighten the chuck sleeve clockwise by hand.
