OPERATION
Auxiliary Handle
•
The auxiliary handle (13) should always be
used when drilling.
The auxiliary handle (13) can be rotated
•
360° around the drill head, enabling safe
and comfortable operation for both left
and right-handed users.
To adjust the auxiliary handle:
1.

Operating the Chuck
•
This rotary hammer has a chuck designed
for SDS Plus drill bits.
•
The SDS Plus system allows bits to be
inserted with a simple push-fit action.
•
Always grease the tail end of SDS bits.
Bits should be freshly greased and free
from dirt and dust before use.
Inserting a Drill Bit
1.
Pull back the chuck collar (15) and hold.
2.
Insert SDS Plus drill bit (17) fully into the
chuck (16). Use a twisting motion to line
up the grooves in the accessory.
3.

4.
The bit should now be locked into the
machine. Check by pulling the bit; if the bit
can be removed, repeat the above
procedure until secure.
•
To remove a bit from the chuck, pull the
chuck collar back, and pull firmly on the
drill bit.
WARNING: Never fit any attachment with a
maximum speed lower than the no load speed
of the machine.
Hammer Selection
•
The rotary hammer can be used in either
hammer drill mode (for masonry work), or
conventional rotary drill mode (for wood,
metal, plastics etc.) with the optional pur-
chase of a standard chuck to SDS Plus
adaptor.

controlled by the pressure applied to the
trigger switch (8). The further the trigger is
depressed the higher the speed.
Gear Selection
•
Select gear 1 on the gear switch (3) for the
low speed, high torque gear. Suitable for
low speed drilling and driving screws and
fasteners.
•
Select gear 2 on the gear switch for the
high speed, low torque gear. Suitable only
for high speed drilling.
Note: Always read the documentation
provided with drill bits and accessories for the
recommended or maximum speed setting and
use the most appropriate gear. See 'Technical
Data' for the maximum no load speed of each
gear.
Drilling Concrete
•
Using hammer drill mode, apply pressure
to the rear of the rotary hammer, in line
with the drill bit.
•
For efficient drilling, it is advisable to use
TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) drill bits.
Ensure that drill bit size is within the
maximum capacity of the rotary hammer
(see 'Technical Data').
•
Do not apply too much pressure if debris
blocks the drill hole. Run the rotary
hammer slowly, and remove the bit from
the hole. Repeat until hole is cleared.
ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories with an allowable speed
matching at least the highest no-load speed of
the tool.
