ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect it from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Side Handle (Fig. 2)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS
operate the tool with the side handle properly installed and securely
tightened. Failure to do so may result in the side handle slipping
during tool operation and subsequent loss of control. Hold tool with
both hands to maximize control.
A side handle comes assembled with this
rotary hammer. The side handle (C) can be
fitted to suit both right-hand and left-hand
users.
TO ADJUST THE SIDE HANDLE
1. Loosen the side handle (C) by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Rotate the side handle to the desired
position.
3. Tighten the side handle by turning it
clockwise.
TO CHANGE SIDES
For right-hand users: slide the side
handle clamp over the chuck, handle at
the left.
For left-hand users: slide the side handle
clamp over the chuck, handle at the right.
Trigger Switch (Fig. 1)
To start the rotary hammer, depress the trigger switch (A). To stop
rotary hammer, release the switch.
NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a centerpunch,
drilling in metal, plastics or ceramics, or driving screws. Higher speeds
are better for drilling in masonry for maximum efficiency.
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed trigger switch (A) permits speed control. The farther
the trigger switch is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.
LOCK-ON BUTTON (D25012, D25013 ONLY)
WARNING: Be sure to release the locking mechanism before
FIG. 2
disconnecting the plug from the power supply. Failure to do so will
cause the hammerdrill to start immediately the next time it is plugged
in. Damage or personal injury could result.
The lock-on button (I) is for use only when the rotary hammer is
stationary, mounted in a drill press stand or for chipping applications.
Before using the tool each time, be sure that the lock-on button
release mechanism is working freely.
J
For continuous operation, press and hold the trigger switch (A); press
the lock-on button (I); release the trigger switch and then release the
lock-on button. The tool will continue to run.
To stop the tool in continuous operation, quickly press and release the
trigger switch.
C
Reversing Lever (Fig. 1)
The reversing lever (H) is used to reverse the rotary hammer for
backing out fasteners or jammed bits in drill-only mode.
CAUTION: When reversing to clear jammed bits, be ready for
strong reactive torque.
