Installing side grip (auxiliary handle)

The side grip is an important means of maintaining good control of this hammer drill during use in the even bit or accessory jams, causing the tool twist from your hand with the potential t o cause injury. Loosen the wing nut on the side grip and install the side grip on the tool. The side grip swings around to either side, allowing easy handling of the tool in any position. Swing the side grip t o the desired position and then tighten the wing nut to secure the side grip.

Installing or removing drill bit

CAUTION :

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the bit.

To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will go. Tighten the chuck by hand. Place the chuck key in each of the three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure to tighten all three chuck holes evenly.

To remove the bit, turn the chuck key counterclockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.

After using the chuck key, be sure to return it to the original position.

Depth gauge

The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of uniform depth. Loosen the wing bolt and adjust the depth gauge to the de- sired depth. After adjusting, tighten the wing bolt to secure the depth gauge.
