Lighting up the lamps
For Model HR1830F only
CAUTION:
• Do not look in the light or see the source of light
directly.
To turn on the lamp, pull the trigger. Release the trigger
to turn it off.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp.
Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may
lower the illumination.
Reversing switch action
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the
posi-
tion (A side) for clockwise rotation or the position (B
side) for counterclockwise rotation.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before opera-
tion.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes
to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rota-
tion before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• If the switch trigger can not be depressed, check to
see that the reversing switch is fully set to position
(A side) or (B side).
Selecting the action mode
This tool employs an action mode changing knob. Select
one of the two modes suitable for your work needs by
using this knob.
For rotation only, depress the lock button and turn the
knob so that the arrow on the knob points toward the
symbol on the tool body.
For rotation with hammering, depress the lock button and
turn the knob so that the arrow on the knob points toward
the
symbol on the tool body.
CAUTION:
• Always set the knob fully to your desired mode
symbol. If you operate the tool with the knob posi-
tioned halfway between the mode symbols, the tool
may be damaged.
• Use the knob after the tool comes to a complete
stop.
Torque limiter
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level
is reached. The motor will disengage from the output
shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.
CAUTION:
• As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off
the tool immediately. This will help prevent prema-
ture wear of the tool.
• Hole saws cannot be used with this tool. They tend
to pinch or catch easily in the hole. This will cause
the torque limiter to actuate too frequently.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
