OPERATION
To Adjust:
■ To adjust, loosen the auxiliary handle assembly by
turning the handle counterclockwise.
■ Rotate auxiliary handle assembly to desired operating
position.
■ Securely tighten by turning the auxiliary handle
clockwise.
USING DEPTH GAGE ROD
See Figure 7.
Note: When installing depth gage rod, align teeth on
depth gage rod with the teeth indicator on the depth
gage clamp.
A depth gage rod has been packed with your hammer
drill to assist you in controlling the depth of drilled holes.
■ Install depth gage rod thru depth gage clamp as
shown in figure 7.
■ 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 against depth gage
clamp. This secures depth gage rod at desired depth
of cut. It also secures auxiliary handle.
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 8.
To adjust for type of drilling, slide adjustment button on
top of motor housing hammer mode or drilling mode.
For your convenience a hammer symbol and drill bit
symbol have been molded into adjustment button.
A WARNING: Your hammer drill has not been
designed for reverse hammering.
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.
