APPLICATIONS

Boring holes in hard surfaces (concrete, marble, granite, tiles, etc.)
By ROTATIONAL action:

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements
specified on the product nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle
while the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately
and can cause serious injury.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of
sufficient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
4. Check the receptacle
If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact
a licensed electrician to make appropriate repairs.
If such a faulty receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious
hazard.
5. Check your work environment
Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to
prescribed precautions.
6. Side handle attachment
Attach the side handle to the mounting part.
Rotate the side handle grip in a clockwise direction to secure it.
Set the side handle to a position that is suited to the operation and then securely tighten
the side handle grip.
