OPERATION

Hammer drilling operation

Set the change lever to theufl symbol. Position the bit at the location for the hole, then pull the trigger.

Do not force the tool. Light pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position and prevent it from slipping away from the hole. Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an idle, the remove from the hole. By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out.

CAUTION:

When the bit begins to break through concrete or if the bit strikes reinforcing rods em- bedded in concrete, the tool may react dangerously. Maintain good balance and safe foot- ing while holding the tool firmly with both hands to prevent dangerous reaction.

Torque limiter

The torque limiter will actuatewhen a certain torque level is reached. The motor will disen- gage from the output shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.

CAUTION:

As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off the tool immediately. This will help pre- vent prematureweak of the tool.

Chipping/Scaling/Demolition

Set the change lever to the symbol. Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and apply slight pressureon the tool so that the tool will not bounce around, uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on the tool will not increase the efficiency.
