FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Switch action
Fig.1
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
•
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
Indicator lamp
Fig.2
The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the
tool is plugged to the mains. If the indicator lamp is lit
but the tool does not start even if the tool is switched
ON, the carbon brushes may be worn out, or the motor
or the switch may be defective. If the indicator lamp
does not light up, the mains cord or the indicator lamp
may be defective. When the mains cord is defective, the
tool neither starts nor lights the indicator lamp. When
the indicator lamp is defective, the tool starts without the
indicator lamp lighting up.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing side grip (auxiliary handle)
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the side grip is installed
•
securely before operation.
Fig.3
Screw the side grip on the tool barrel securely.
For work with a side grip at the other different angles,
another type of side grip (auxiliary handle) is available
as an optional accessory. Follow the installation
procedure below.
Installing or removing drill bit
Fig.4
To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will go.
Tighten the chuck by hand. Place the chuck key in each
of the three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure to
tighten all three chuck holes evenly.
To remove the bit, turn the chuck key counterclockwise
in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
After using the chuck key, be sure to return to the
original position.
Depth gauge
Fig.5
The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of
uniform depth.
Loosen the side grip and remove it. Fit the convex on
the stopper holder to the concave on the tool barrel.
Insert the side grip into the stopper holder and screw
the side grip.
Insert the depth gauge into the hole in the stopper
holder. Adjust the depth gauge to the desired depth and
then tighten the side grip firmly.
Fig.6
Side grip assembly (optional accessory)
Fig.7
Install the side grip assembly so that the teeth on the
grip fit in between the protrusions on the tool barrel.
Then tighten the grip by turning clockwise at the desired
position. It may be swung 360° so as to be secured at
any position.
NOTE:
The depth gauge cannot be used at the position
•
where the depth gauge strikes against the tool
body.

OPERATION

Holding tool
Fig.8
Fig.9
When drilling a large hole with a hole saw, etc., the side
grip (auxiliary handle) should be used as a brace to
maintain safe control of the tool.
Grasp the rear handle and the front grip firmly when
starting or stopping the tool, since there is an initial and
final reaction.
When drilling action is forward (clockwise), the tool
should be braced to prevent a counterclockwise
reaction if the bit should bind. When reversing, brace
the tool to prevent a clockwise reaction. If the bit must
be removed from a partially drilled hole, be sure the tool
is properly braced before reversing.
Drilling operation
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with
wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide
screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the
workpiece.
