Ryobi HD501 specifications Using Depth Gage ROD, To Adjust Drilling Mode, Drill BIT

OPERATION

USING DEPTH GAGE ROD

See Figure 6.

A depth gage rod has been installed on your hammer drill to assist you in controlling the depth of drilled holes.

■Adjust depth gage rod so that the drill bit extends beyond the end of the rod to the required drilling depth.

■Securely tighten auxiliary handle. This secures depth gage rod at desired depth of cut. It also secures auxiliary handle assembly.

When drilling holes with the depth gage rod installed, the desired hole depth has been reached when the end of the rod comes in contact with the surface of the material being drilled.

TO ADJUST DRILLING MODE

See Figure 7.

To adjust for type of drilling, slide mode selector on top of motor housing left to hammer mode or right to drilling mode. For your convenience a hammer symbol and drill bit symbol have been molded into motor housing.

CAUTION:

Your hammer drill has not been designed for reverse hammering. Failure to obey this warning may result in property damage.

We recommend that you use carbide-tipped bits and select hammer mode when drilling in hard materials such as brick, tile, concrete, etc.

We recommend that you select normal drill mode when drilling with twist drills, hole saws, etc. in soft materials.
