PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, which could cause
a serious accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed 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. Mounting the drill bit (Fig. 1)
(1) To attach a drill bit (SDS-plus shank), fully pull the
grip in the direction of the arrow as shown in Fig.
1 and insert the drill bit as far as it will go while
manually turning.
(2) By releasing the grip, the drill bit will be secured.
(3) To remove the drill bit, fully pull the grip in the
direction of the arrow and pull out the drill bit.
5. Installation of dust cup or dust collector (B)
(Optional accessories) (Fig. 2, Fig. 3)
When using a rotary hammer for upward drilling
operations attach a dust cup or dust collector (B)
to collect dust or particles for easy operation.
⅜ Installing the dust cup
Use the dust cup by attaching to the drill bit as
shown in Fig. 2.
When using a bit which has big diameter, enlarge
the center hole of the dust cup with this rotary
hammer.
⅜ Installing dust collector (B)
When using dust collector (B), insert dust collector
(B) from the tip of the bit by aligning it to the
groove on the grip. (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
⅜ The dust cup and dust collector (B) are for exclusive
use of concrete drilling work. Do not use them for
wood or metal drilling work.
⅜ Insert dust collector (B) completely into the chuck
part of the main unit.
⅜ When turning the rotary hammer on while dust
collector (B) is detached from a concrete surface,
dust collector (B) will rotate together with the drill
bit. Make sure to turn on the switch after pressing
the dust cup on the concrete surface. (When using
dust collector (B) attached to a drill bit that has
more than 190 mm of overall length, dust collector
(B) cannot touch the concrete surface but rotates.
Therefore please use dust collector (B) by attaching
to drill bits which have 166 mm, 160 mm, and 110
mm overall length.)
⅜ Dump particles after every two or three holes when
drilling.
⅜ Please replace the drill bit after removing dust
collector (B).
6. Selecting the driver bit
Screw heads or bits will be damaged should an
inappropriate bit for the screw diameter be employed
to drive in the screws.
7. Confirm the direction of bit rotation (Fig. 4)
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear
side) by pushing the R-side of the reversing switch
lever. The L-side of the lever is pushed to turn the
bit counterclockwise.
HOW TO USE
CAUTION:
To prevent accidents, make sure to turn the switch off
and disconnect the plug from the receptacle when the
drill pits and other various parts are installed or
removed. The power switch should also be turned off
during a work break and after work.
1. Switch operation
The rotation speed of the drill bit can be controlled
steplessly by varying the amount that the trigger
switch is pulled. Speed is low when the trigger
switch is pulled slightly and increases as the switch
is pulled more. Continuous operation may be
attained by pulling the trigger switch and depressing
the stopper. To turn the switch OFF, pull the trigger
switch again to disengage the stopper, and release
the trigger switch to its original position.
2. Rotation + striking
This rotary hammer can be set to rotation and
striking mode by pressing the push button and
turning the change lever to the
mark. (Fig. 5)
(1) Mount the drill bit.
(2) Pull the trigger switch after applying the drill bit
tip to the drilling position. (Fig. 6)
(3) Pushing the rotary hammer forcibly is not necessary
at all. Pushing slightly so that drill dust comes out
gradually is sufficient.
CAUTION:
When the drill bit touches construction iron bar, the
bit will stop immediately and the rotary hammer
will react to revolve. Therefore grip the side handle
and handle tightly as shown in Fig. 6.
3. Rotation only
This rotary hammer can be set to rotation only
mode by pussing the push button and turning the
change lever to the
mark. (Fig. 7)
To drill wood or metal material using the drill chuck
and chuck adapter (optional accessories), proceed
as follows.
Installing drill chuck and chuck adapter: (Fig. 8)
(1) Mount the drill chuck to the chuck adapter.
(2) The part of the SDS-plus shank is the same as the
drill bit. Therefore, refer to the item of “Mounting
the drill bit” for attaching it.
