• Never use "rotation with hammering" when the drill
chuck assembly is installed on the tool. The drill
chuck assembly may be damaged.
Also, the drill chuck will come off when reversing

• Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up
the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only
serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the

tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough. Hold the
tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to
