in the OFF position, and the drill has come to a
complete stop. To change speed, depress the shift
lock and slide it in the appropriate direction, as
indicated by the arrow in Fig. 1. The numeral "1"
engraved in the drill body denotes low speed, the
numeral "2" denotes high speed.
7. IMPACT to ROTATION changeover: (Fig. 2)
The Impact Drill can be switched from IMPACT
(impact plus rotation) to ROTATION (rotation only)
by simply turning the change ring.
When boring concrete, stone, tile or similar hard
materials, turn the change ring fully clockwise when
viewed from the drill chuck side. The drill head
impacts against the material while continuing to
rotate.
When boring metal, wood or plastic, turn the change
ring fully counterclockwise. The drill simply rotates
as an ordinary electric drill.
CAUTION
Do not use the Impact Drill in the IMPACT function
if the material can be bored by rotation only. Such
