and save these instructions.
For safe operations:
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment. Do not expose
power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well lit.
Do not use power tools where there is risk to cause
fire or explosion.
3. Guard against electric shock. Avoid body contact
with earthed or grounded surfaces. (e.g. pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerators).
4. Keep children away. Do not let visitors touch the
tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept
away from work area.
5. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be
stored in a dry, high or locked up place, out of reach
of children.
6. Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was intended.
7. Use the right tool. Do not force small tools or
attachments to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do
not use tools for purposes not intended; for example,
do not use circular saw to cut tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery, they can be caught in moving parts.
Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protecting hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use eye protection. Also use face or dust mask if
the cutting operation is dusty.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities ensure these are
connected and properly used.
11. Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the tool by the
cord or yank it to disconnect it from the receptacle.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work.
It is safer than using your hand and it frees both
hands to operate tool.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubrication and changing
accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if
damaged, have it repaired by authorized service
center. Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace, if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
15. Disconnect tools. When not in use, before servicing,
and when changing accessories such as blades, bits
and cutters.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool before turning
it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry a pluggedin tool with a finger on the switch. Ensure switch is
off when plugging in.
18. Use outdoor extension leads. When tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for
outdoor use.
19. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
20. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check

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, inviting 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. Selecting the appropriate drill bit:
䡬 When boring metal or plastic
Use ordinary metalworking drill bits.
䡬 When boring wood
Use ordinary woodworking drill bits.
However, when drilling 6.5 mm or smaller holes, use
a metalworking drill bit.
5. Mounting and dismounting of the bit (Fig. 1)
(1) Open the chuck jaws, and insert the bit into the chuck.
To open the chuck jaws, hold the ring while turning
the sleeve in the counterclockwise direction (viewed
from the front side).
(2) Firmly grasp the ring and turn the sleeve in the
clockwise direction. Tighten securely.
(3) To remove the bit, firmly grasp the ring and turn the
sleeve in the counterclockwise direction.
6. Side handle attachment (Fig. 2)
Attach the side handle to the mounting part.
Rotate the side handle grip in a clockwise direction to
secure it.
Set the side handle to a position that is suited to the
operation and then securely tighten the side handle
grip.
7. Check the rotational direction (Fig. 3)
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side)
by pushing the R-side of the push button.
The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the bit
counterclockwise.
(The
and marks are provided on the body.)
8. Install the stopper (Fig. 4)
(1) Loosen the side handle and insert the straight portion
of the stopper into the handle bolt hole.
(2) Move the stopper to the specified position and rotate
the grip of the side handle clockwise to fix the stopper.
9. Installing the hook (optional accessory) (Fig. 5)
(1) Insert the hook into the hole of Section A on the main
body and turn it clockwise.
When the nut reaches the washer surface of the handle
cover, tighten it with a wrench.
(2) It is also possible to install the hook on the opposite
side. To do so, follow the same procedures mentioned
above.
(3) It is possible to hang the hook on a waist belt or a
pipe up to maximum 28 mm in diameter, and so on.
CAUTION:
When the power tool is used with a hook fixed to it, pay
attention to the following points:
䡬 Before hanging the main unit from the waist belt,
make sure that the drill has come to a complete stop.
While it is suspended from the waist belt, the power
plug must be disconnected from the power source.
䡬 Do not walk about with the power tool hanging from
the waist belt.
䡬 In the case of operation in a high place, it is
dangerous to drop the tool accidentally. If the hook
is deformed or hung from the wrong position, there
is danger that the hook will slip off and the tool will
fall.
Be careful to avoid danger.
䡬 In making a through hole, the power tool sometimes
shakes violently when the workpiece is pierced, from
example. Be careful you are not hurt by the hook
even if such situation happens.

HOW TO USE
1. Switch operation
䡬 When the trigger is depressed, the tool rotates.
When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
䡬 Pulling the trigger and pushing the stopper, it keeps
the switched-on condition which is convenient for
continuous running. When switching off, the stopper
can be disconnected by pulling the trigger again.
2. Drilling
䡬 Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit.
Use enough pressure to keep drilling, but do not push
hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
䡬 To minimize stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the
last part of the hole.
䡬 If the drill stalls, release the trigger immediately,
remove the bit from the work and start again. Do not
click the trigger on and off in an attempt to start a
stalled drill. This can damage the drill.
䡬 The larger the drill bit diameter, the larger the reactive
force on your arm.
Be careful not to lose control of the drill because of
this reactive force.
To maintain firm control, establish a good foothold,
use side handle, hold the drill tightly with both hands,
and ensure that the drill is vertical to the material being
drilled.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the drill bits
Since use of an abraded drill bits will cause motor
malfunctioning and degraded efficiency, replace the
drill bits with a new one or resharpening without delay
when abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do
so could result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the
power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding
does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or
water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig.6)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush could result in motor trouble, replace a carbon
brush with a new one which has the same brush No.
shown in the figure when it becomes worn to or near
the ‘wear limit’. In addition, always keep carbon
brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within
the brush holders.
5. Replacing a carbon brush (Fig.7)
<Disassembly>
(1) Loosen four machine screws and remove the handle
cover.
(2) Pull out the brush holder together with the carbon
brushes. Exercise adequate care not to excessively
strain the lead wire or damage it.
(3) Remove the carbon brushes from the brush holder.
<Assembly>
(1) Insert new carbon brushes in the brush holder .
(2) Insert the brush holder together with carbon brushes
into the brush holder chamber in the housing.
(3) Carefully ascertain that the internal wiring and so on
are located at their regular positions, and that there
is no possibility of the rotray part (armature) being
contacted by the internal wiring or other items.
(4) Reinstall the handle cover while exercising adequate
care not to allow the internal wiring and so on to
become caught in the housing, then tighten the handle
cover with four machine screws.
CAUTIONS
䡬 When reassembling after replacing the carbon
brushes, be sure to follow this assembling procedure.
䡬 When replacing the carbon brushes, do not tamper
with parts other than those necessary for replacing.
