ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Side Handle (Fig. 2)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
ALWAYS operate the tool with the side handle properly
installed and securely tightened. Failure to do so may
result in the side handle slipping during tool operation
and subsequent loss of control. Hold tool with both
hands to maximize control.
A side handle comes assembled with this rotary
hammer. The side handle (C) can be fitted to suit both
right-hand and left-hand users.
TO ADJUST THE SIDE HANDLE
1. Loosen the side handle (C) by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Rotate the side handle to the desired position.
3. Tighten the side handle by turning it clockwise
until you are sure the side handle won't slip.
TO CHANGE SIDES
For right-hand users: slide the side handle clamp
over the chuck, handle at the left.

over the chuck, handle at the right.
Trigger Switch (Fig. 1)
To start the rotary hammer, depress the trigger switch (A). To stop rotary hammer,

NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a centerpunch, drilling in metal,
plastics or ceramics, or driving screws. Higher speeds are better for drilling in
masonry for maximum efficiency.

The variable speed trigger switch (A) permits speed control. The farther the trigger
switch is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.

The reversing lever (G) is used to reverse the rotary
hammer for backing out fasteners or jammed bits in
