Proper Hand Position (fi g. 8)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the
side handle (h), with the other hand on the main
handle (b).
Switching On and Off (fig. 1)
1. To run the tool, press the variable speed switch
(a). The pressure exerted on the variable speed
switch determines the tool speed.
2. To stop the tool, release the switch.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
WARNING: Be sure to release
the locking mechanism before
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 (o) 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.
For continuous operation, press and hold the trigger
switch (a); press the lock-on button (o); 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.
Hammerdrilling (fig. 1)
DRILLING WITH A SOLID BIT
1. Hold down the mode selector button (e)
then set the mode selector switch (d) to the
hammerdrilling position.
2. Insert the appropriate drill bit.
NOTE: For best results use high quality carbide-
tipped bits.
3. Adjust the side handle (h) as required.
4. If necessary, set the drilling depth.
5. Mark the spot where the hole is to be drilled.
6. Place the drill bit on the spot and switch on the
tool.
7. Always switch off the tool when work is finished
and before unplugging.
DRILLING WITH A CORE BIT
1. Hold down the mode selector button (e)
then set the mode selector switch (d) to the
hammerdrilling position.
2. Adjust the side handle (h) as required.
3. Insert the appropriate core bit.
4. Assemble the centerdrill into the core bit.
5. Place the centerdrill on the spot and press the
on/off switch (a). Drill until the core penetrates
into the concrete approx. 1 cm.
6. Stop drilling and remove the centerdrill. Place
the core bit back into the hole and continue
drilling.
7. When drilling through a structure thicker than
the depth of the core bit, break away the round
cylinder of concrete or core inside the bit at
regular intervals. To avoid unwanted breaking
away of concrete around the hole, first drill a
hole the diameter of the center drill completely
through the structure. Then drill the cored hole
halfway from each side.
8. Always switch off the tool when work is finished
and before unplugging.
