6. On the top of the Hammer Drill, push
the Gear Setting Control to select
plain drilling or hammer drilling.
A symbol for a drill bit indicates plain
drilling is selected. If a hammer is
shown, it is set for hammer drilling.
See Figure F.
Note: While using the Hammer Drill, al-
ways use both hands.
Press (and hold) the trigger Switch
7.
(24) to turn the drill on.
This Switch varies the speed depend-
ing on how far in it is pressed.
Optionally, after pressing in the trig-
8.
ger Switch, you can press the Switch
On Locking Button to keep the drill
running without keeping your finger
on the trigger Switch (24).
Use this function when drilling soft
materials only. Press the trigger
Switch again to turn it off.
CAutION! Do not drill or hammer hard,
brittle materials such as steel or
concrete with the Switch On Locking
Button pressed in (ON). If the drill
bit catches on the material, the high
torque of the drill will cause the tool
body to twist around without stopping.
This violent action could cause injury
to your hands and arms. It could also
damage the Hammer Drill.
To prevent accidents, turn off the tool 9.
and disconnect its power supply after
use. Clean, then store the tool in-
doors out of children’s reach.
