The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.

housing on either side and then secure it with a screw.

OPERATION
014702
Hammer drilling operation
CAUTION:
There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force
•
exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break-
through, when the hole becomes clogged with
chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing
rods embedded in the concrete. Always use the
side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool
by both side grip and switch handle during
operations. Failure to do so may result in the loss
of control of the tool and potentially severe injury.
First, slide the action mode change lever so that it
points to the marking. The adjusting ring can be
aligned in any torque levels for this operation.
Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.
Position the bit at the desired location for the hole, then
pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light
pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position
and prevent it from slipping away from the hole.
Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes
clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at
an idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole. By
repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out
and normal drilling may be resumed.
