Hammer drilling operation
CAUTION:
There is tremendous and sudden
twisting force exerted on the tool/drill 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 opera-
tions. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control
of the tool and potentially severe injury.
Set the action mode changing knob to the
Position the drill bit at the desired location for the hole,
then pull the switch trigger.
Apply feed force to the switch handle (main handle) for
working accuracy and efficiency, and hold the side grip
(auxiliary handle) to keep balance of the tool.
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 drill bit partially from the hole.
By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned
out and normal drilling may be resumed.
NOTE: Eccentricity in the drill bit rotation may occur
while operating the tool with no load. The tool auto-
matically centers itself during operation. This does not
affect the drilling precision.
Chipping/Scaling/Demolition
Set the action mode changing knob to the
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on.
Apply feed force to the switch handle (main handle) for
working accuracy and efficiency, and hold the side grip
(auxiliary handle) to keep balance of the tool.
Pressing very hard on the tool will not increase the efficiency.

Drilling in wood or metal
CAUTION:
Hold the tool firmly and exert care
when the drill bit begins to break through the
workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on
the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through.
CAUTION:
A stuck drill bit can be removed
simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse
rotation in order to back out. However, the tool
may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.
CAUTION:
Always secure workpieces in a
vise or similar hold-down device.
NOTICE:
Never use "rotation with hammering"
when the drill chuck is installed on the tool. The
drill chuck may be damaged.
Also, the drill chuck will come off when reversing the tool.
NOTICE:
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 drill
bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the
service life of the tool.
Set the action mode changing knob to the
For HR001G/HR003G
Optional accessory
Attach the chuck adapter to a keyless drill chuck to
which 1/2"-20 size screw can be installed, and then
install them to the tool. When installing it, refer to the
section "Installing or removing drill bit".

Use the quick change drill chuck as standard equip-
ment. When installing it, refer to "changing the quick
change chuck for SDS-plus".
Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to
open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as
it will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clock-
wise to tighten the chuck.

To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve
counterclockwise.
Diamond core drilling
NOTICE:

action, the diamond core bit may be damaged.
When performing diamond core drilling opera-
tions, always set the action mode changing knob to

CAUTION:

dust collection system. Doing so may cause dust
inhalation.
CAUTION:
turning the dial on the dust case. Turning the dial
while the tool is running may result in the loss of
control of the tool.
By beating the dust on the filter inside the dust case,
you can keep the vacuum efficiency and also reduce
the number of times to dispose of the dust.
