Failure to comply with this caution may cause property damage. MODE SELECTOR SWITCH The mode selector switch gives you the ability to operate this tool in two different modes. One setting provides rotation only for driving screws and drilling holes in wood, metal, plastic and other non-concrete material. The rotation only mode is also used for stirring paint, sanding, wire brushing, etc. The second mode provides rotation and hammering action. Rotation with hammering action gives you the ability to bore holes in concrete, asphalt, tile, brick or other similar hard materials. To select the rotation only or drill mode, move the selector switch completely to the right, toward the drill symbol . To select the rotation with hammering action or hammer drill mode, move the selector switch completely to the left, toward the hammer symbol . 1⁄2” 6 Amp Dual Purpose Hammer Drill Operator’s Manual GHD1260...

- Page 9 • When hole is drilled to the desired depth, withdraw the bit from the hole, and turn the drill off by releasing the switch trigger. • After drilling is completed, you may find the hole partially filled with dust. use a “blow-out bulb” or compressed air to clean the dust from the hole. (Note: use a mask or respirator to prevent inhalation of the dust created by drilling or clearing holes in concrete or similar materials.) Drilling in wood, composite materials and plastics Although most “twist” drill bits are designed for drilling into metal, they are the most common bit used for boring holes in wood, wood composites and plastics. There are many types of drill bits available that may be more appropriate or designed specifically for boring the type of hole you desire. Additional drill bits to choose from include: spade bits, brad bits, self-feed bits, hole saws, circle cutters, multispur bits and forstner bits, to name just a few! Woodworking publications and tool supply store personnel are good sources to help you select the drill bit that best satisfies your needs. With the tool unplugged from its power source: • Install the appropriate bit into the chuck and tighten the chuck. • Slide the mode selector switch to the drill (rotation only) mode. • Place the forward/reverse lever in the forward position. 1⁄2” 6 Amp Dual Purpose Hammer Drill Operator’s Manual GHD1260...
