GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR POWER TOOLS
1. KNOW YOUR TOOL
Read and understand the owners manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its
application and limitations as well as its specific potential hazards.
2. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Make sure the floor is clean and not
slippery due to wax and sawdust build-up.
3. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.
Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work
area well lit and provide adequate surrounding work space.
4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
5. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF.
Use padlocks, master switches or remove starter keys.
6. USE PROPER SPEED.
A tool will do a better and safer job when operated at the proper speed.
7. USE RIGHT TOOL.
Don’t force the tool or the attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
8. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, watch) because they
could get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protec-
tive hair covering to contain long hair.Roll up long sleeves above the elbows.
9. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
Always wear safety glasses (ANSI Z87.1). Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty.
10. MAINTAIN TOOL WITH CARE.
Keep tools clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions if any for lubri-
cating and changing accessories.
11. DISCONNECT TOOLS.
Beforeservicing, when changing accessories or attachments.
12. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
Make surethe switch is in the ‘’OFF’’ position before plugging in.
13. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.
Beforefurther use of the tool, a guardor other parts that aredamaged should be care-
fully checked to ensure that they will operate properly and perform their intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other parts that are damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.
14. NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED.
Turn power ‘’OFF’’. Don’t leave any tool running until it comes to a complete stop.
Warning:The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood
by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Note: Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage.
Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.
VOLTAGE WARNING
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, ect.) be sure the voltage
supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. If one says 120V and
the other says 115V then there will be no complications. Never try to plug a 120V tool into
a240V outlet, or the other way around. The plug and outlet have completely different
shapes. This is because a power source with a voltage greater than that specified on the
tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user,as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt,
DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL.
EXTENSION CORDS
Your tool has a polarized, two-prong plug. Do not alter the plug in any way. Only use
rounded jacket extension cords listed by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Improper
use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of your tool which can result in
overheating. Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient current flow to the
motor.If you areusing the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (sig-
nified by “WA” on the jacket).
The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the tool
and the length of the extension cord. This size is determined by its AWG (American Wire
Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity.The amount of cords
used does not matter: Total length determines the minimum AWG rating. Every cord must
meet the AWG rating. Use the chart below to determine what AWG rating is required for
your situation. Cord length is rated in feet.

FIXING & CHANGING DRILL BIT
•Turn the Hammer Drill off first.
•Clean the shivers and any other foreign objects away from the bit and chuck, otherwise
the bit might not be tightened securely and thus will induce severepersonal injuries.
•Insert the bit into the chuck, make surethat the bit
is in as far as it will go.
•Place the chuck key in one of the 3 holes, then
tighten all three jaws of the chuck by rotating the
chuck key clockwise.
WARNING:More than 1/3 of the general length of
the drill bit must protrude out of the chuck jaws.
•When dismantling the drill bit, loosen the three jaws with the chuck key, then remove the
drill bit.
NOTE:Always remove chuck key before restarting drill.
SWITCH ACTION
WARNING:Beforepluging into power source, make surethe trigger switch can be
pressed down smoothly and will return to its “OFF” position when the switch button is
released. The drill is equipped with a “Lock-On” button which is convenient when
continuous drilling for extended periods of time is
required.
•Press down trigger switch to start work, and release to
stop work.
• To have continuous operation, press down the trigger
switch and push the “Lock-on” button located on the
side of the handle, then release the trigger.
•The drill will continue running after the release of the “Lock-on” button. Tostop
working, release the trigger switch.
•When “Lock-on” feature engaged during use and the drill becomes disconnected from
the power supply, disengage the “Lock-on” feature immediately.
OPERATION OPERATION
REVERSIBLE ROTATING DIRECTION
The rotating direction of the drill is controlled by a lever
located above the trigger.
•With the drill held in normal operating position, direction
of rotation lever should be positioned to the right of the
trigger for forward (F) drilling operation.
•Direction of rotation is in reverse (R) when the lever is to
the left of the trigger.
NOTE: The drill will not operate unless the rotation lever is pushed fully to the left or right.
SPEED CONTROL
The drill can be preset to match material requirements by
using speed control selector.
•Hold the drill in normal operation, and turn the variable
speed control selector clockwise to increase the speed
and torque of the drill. Turn counter-clockwise to
decrease the speed and torque.
NOTE: If the variable speed control selector is fully turned
in counter-clockwise direction (Zero Setting), Your drill may not run.
• To lock the switch on at a given speed, depress the trigger, push in and hold the
“Lock-on” button then release the trigger.Next, adjust the variable speed control
selector until the desired speed is reached.
•When you desirenot to use the variable speed control selector turn it in the fully
clockwise direction. This will allow the speed of the drill to be fully controlled by the
amount of trigger depression.
•Speed control guidelines:
1) Low speed - is ideal when minimum speed is required. e.g.: Making holes without
center punch, driving screws, mixing paint or drilling ceramics.
2) Medium speed - is suitable for drilling hardmetals, plastics and laminates.
3) High speed - Perfect for when maximum power is required. E.g.: Drilling in wood, soft
metals like aluminum, brass or copper.
WORKING MATERIALS
The working materials should be within: “wood, metal, resin boards, concrete”.
•When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch to mark the desired hole
location. This will prevent the drill from slipping offcenter as the hole is started.
•The working material should be secured in a device or with clamps to keep it from
moving as the drill bit rotates.
•When drilling concrete and masonry, move the function changeover device to “hammer
icon”. Toachieve the maximum impact when drilling into maconry.
