Operating Instructions
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
RIGGER SWITCH
our tool is equipped with a variable speed
Y
rigger switch. The tool speed can be
t
T
controlled from the minimum to the maximum
nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to
the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase
the speed and release pressure to decrease
speed. This accurate speed control enables
you to drill without center punching. It also
permits you to use as a power screwdriver.
Bits are available for driving screws as well as
running bolts and nuts.
REVERSING SWITCH BUTTON
The reversing switch button is located above
the trigger switch and is used to reverse
rotation of the bit.
For forward rotation, (with the chuck pointed
away from you) move button to the far left. For
reverse rotation move the button to the far
right. (Fig. 2)
CAUTION
!
Do not change direction of
rotation until the tool comes to
a complete stop. Shifting during rotation of the
chuck can cause damage to the tool.
FIG. 2
REVERSING
SWITCH
BUTTON
SLIP CLUTCH
The tool has an internal preset clutch. The
clutch is set such that sufficient force is
transmitted to the bit for most drilling conditions
but it will slip when bit binds in the hole or the
tool is overloaded. Be aware that due to
required clutch setting, you may experience a
torque reaction an instant before the clutch
slips. This torque reaction will twist the body of
the rotary hammer in the opposite direction as
the bit rotates, i.e., counterclockwise. As clutch
is slipping, the bit will most likely stop rotating.
When the binding force on the bit is removed
the clutch automatically resets. If you

INSTALLING & REMOVING ACCESSORIES
The 3 Jaw Chuck with SDS Shank can convert
your tool for use with straight shank bits.
For small bits, open jaws enough to insert the
bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert the bit
as far as it will go. Center the bit as you close
the jaws by hand. This positions the bit
properly, giving maximum contact between the
chuck jaws and the bit shank (Fig. 8).
To tighten chuck, insert key into each of the
three key holes in succession and tighten
clockwise firmly.
The chuck can be released by using one hole
only.

Note: The 3-Jaw Chuck is for use only in “Dril

on the tool and the chance of injury to the
operator.
NOTE: The high efficiency available from the
rotary hammers can only be obtained if sharp
and undamaged accessories are used. The
“cost” to maintain sharp and undamaged
accessories is more than offset by the “time
saved” in operating the tool with sharp
accessories.
All hammers require a short period of time to
warm up. Depending on the room
temperature, this time may vary from
approximately 15 seconds (90˚F) to 2 minutes
(32˚F). A new hammer requires a break-in
period before full performance is realized. This
period may require up to 5 hours of operation.
Carbide tipped bits: Used for drilling stone,
concrete, cement, brick, cinder block and
other unusually hard non-metals. The Rotary
Hammer is designed for “SDS” Carbide
Tipped Bits up to 3/4 inch diameter.

BM 1619P00836 12-06 1/5/07 9:43 AM Page 10
You will extend the life of your bits and do
neater work if you always put the bit in contact
with the workpiece BEFORE pulling the
rigger. During operation, hold the drill firmly
t
nd exert moderate, steady pressure. Too
a
uch pressure at low speed will stall the
m
hammer. Too little pressure will keep the bit
from cutting and cause excess friction by
sliding over the surface. This can be
damaging to the drill and bit.
Shanks of all drill bits should be wiped clean
prior to using and immediately after removing.
Recall these instructions for safe
operation:
1. Some materials require slow drilling
speeds; whereas, others require higher speed
to produce the best results.
2. All work must be supported or secured
before drilling and steady, even pressure
applied in line with the drill bit.
3. As the drill bit cuts through the opposite
side, reduce the pressure and continue
running the drill as the bit is withdrawn.
Materials such as glass, porcelain, ceramics,
tiles, plastics, etc., should be drilled at low
speeds with specially designed drill bits and
lubricants.
DRILLING WOOD OR PLASTIC
If backing block is not used, ease up on the
pressure just before the bit breaks through
he wood to avoid splintering. Complete the
t
ole from the opposite side immediately after
h
he point breaks through. If bit binds, reverse
t
the drilling operation to help remove the bit
from the work.
Make a center punch in the material for
easier starting. Use enough pressure to keep
the bit cutting. If the bit is allowed to merely
spin in the hole, it will become dull within a
short time. When drilling a larger hole, it is
faster and easier on your power pack to first
make a smaller hole and enlarge it to the
required size. Lubricate the tip of the bit
occasionally with CUTTING OIL for easier
metal drilling. If bit binds, reverse the drilling
to help remove the bit from the work.
Use carbide-tipped masonry bit for cinder
block, mortar, common brick, soft stone and
other materials. The amount of pressure to
be used is dependent upon the type of
material being drilled. Soft materials require
less pressure while the hard materials need
more pressure to prevent the drill bit from
spinning.
