▪Use high speed drill bits

▪See drilling wood below

Drilling masonry

▪For maximum performance use carbide-tipped masonry impact bits when drilling holes in brick, tile, concrete etc.

▪Turn the mode selector to hammer mode, then rotate the torque collar to the drill position.

▪Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results in brick.

▪Apply additional pressure and high speed for hard materials such as concrete.

▪When drilling holes in tile, practice on a scrap piece to determine the best speed and pres- sure.

Drilling wood

▪For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood drilling.

▪Ensure that the mode selector is in normal drill- ing mode.

▪Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed as the drill bites into the material.

▪When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the work piece to prevent rag- ged or splintered edges on the back side of the hole.

WARNING. Never attempt to lock the trigger switch in the on position, do not lock the trigger on jobs where your hammer drill may need to be stopped suddenly.

All drilling operations

▪Mark off the centre of the hole using a centre punch or nail.

CHUCK REPLACEMENT

Chuck removal

Always wear eye protection.

Turn the torque adjustment collar/hammer selec- tion collar (2) to the “drill” position and low gear, on the gear selector (13). Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex key (not supplied) of 5 mm or greater size.

Using a wooden mallet or similar object, strike

the longer end in the clockwise direction. This will loosen the screw inside the chuck. 11

1.Open chuck jaws fully.

2.Insert a 5 mm hex key into front of chuck be- tween jaws to engage screw head. Remove screw by turning clockwise.

3.Place the hex key in chuck and tighten. Using a wooden mallet or similar object, strike key sharply in the anti-clockwise direction. This will loosen the chuck so that it can be unscrewed by hand.

Chuck installation

1.Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go and insert screw (LH thread).

2.Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of hex key (not supplied) strike the longer end in the clockwise direction with a wooden mallet. 12

3.Remove the hex key and open the jaws fully. Tighten the screw in the centre of the chuck firmly, with the hex key in an anti-clockwise di- rection.
