FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Switch action

CAUTION:

•Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released.

Speed change (Fig. 3)

The revolutions and blows per minute can be adjusted just by turning the adjusting dial. The dial is marked 1 (lowest speed) to 5 (full speed).

Refer to the table below for the relationship between the number settings on the adjusting dial and the revolutions/ blows per minute.

NOTE:

•Blows at no load per minute becomes smaller than those on load in order to reduce vibration under no load, but this does not show trouble. Once operation starts with a bit against concrete, blows per minute increase and get to the numbers as shown in the table. When temperature is low and there is less fluidity in grease, the tool may not have this function even with the motor rotating.

CAUTION:

•If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a long time, the motor may get overloaded, resulting in tool malfunction.

•The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer work.

Selecting the action mode

CAUTION:

•Do not rotate the change lever when the tool is running. The tool will be damaged.

•To avoid rapid wear on the mode change mechanism, be sure that the change lever is always positively located in one of the action mode positions.

Hammer drilling mode (Fig. 4)

For drilling in concrete, masonry, etc., rotate the change

lever to the symbol. Use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.

Hammering mode (Switch trigger mode) (Fig. 5)

For chipping, scaling or demolition operations, rotate the change lever to the symbol. Use a bull point, cold chisel, scaling chisel, etc.

Hammering mode (Switch button mode)

For continuous chipping, scaling or demolition operations, rotate the change lever to the symbol.

(Fig. 6)

The switch button projects out and lights in red.

Use a bull point, cold chisel, scaling chisel, etc. (Fig. 7)

NOTE:

•When using the tool in the symbol mode, the switch trigger does not work but only the switch button works.

Torque limiter

The torque limiter actuates when torque reaches a certain level. The motor disengages from the output shaft. When this happens, the bit stops turning.

CAUTION:

•As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off the tool immediately. This helps to prevent premature wear of the tool.
