OPERATION
INSTALLING DEPTH GAGE ROD
See Figures 11 and 12.
A depth gage rod has been packed with your hammer drill to
assist you in controlling the depth of drilled holes.
When drilling holes with the depth gage rod installed, the
desired hole depth has been reached when the end of the
rod comes in contact with the surface of the material being
drilled.
Follow these steps to install and adjust the depth gage rod.
1. Loosen the auxiliary handle.
2. Insert the depth gage rod through hole on the auxiliary
handle.
3. Adjust the depth gage rod so that the drill bit extends
beyond the end of the rod to the required drilling
depth.
4. Tighten the auxiliary handle securely. This secures the
depth gage rod at the desired depth of cut. It also
secures the auxiliary handle.
