OPERATION
TURNING ON/OFF THE HAMMER DRILL
See Figure 10.
Follow these steps to turn on/off the hammer drill.
■ Turn on the hammer drill: Depress the trigger switch.
■ Turn off the hammer drill: Release the trigger switch.
VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 10.
Your drill has a variable speed feature in the switch. The
switch delivers higher speed and torque with increased
trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the amount of
switch trigger depression.
SWITCH LOCK
See Figure 10.
The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position. This
feature helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting
when not in use. To lock the switch trigger, place the direction
of rotation selector in the center position.
REVERSIBLE
See Figure 10.
This tool is reversible. The direction of rotation is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the drill
held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation
selector should be positioned to the left of the switch for
drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector is
to the right of the switch. When the selector is in center
position, the switch trigger is locked.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow chuck to come to
a complete stop before changing the speed or the
direction of rotation.
To stop, release switch trigger and allow the chuck to come
to a complete stop.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore,
switch should always be locked when not in use or when
carrying at your side.
