SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
REFERENCE
WEAR A DUST MASK THAT
IS DESIGNED TO BE USED
WHEN OPERATING A
POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY
ENVIRONMENT.
WARNING: Dust that
is created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities may
contain chemicals that are known
to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other genetic abnormalities. These
chemicals include:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks,
cement, and other masonry
products.
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber.
The level of risk from exposure to
these chemicals varies, according
to how often this type of work is
performed. In order to reduce
exposure to these chemicals, work
in a well-ventilated area, and use
approved safety equipment, such
as a dust mask that is specically
designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: To avoid electrical
hazards, re hazards or damage
to the tool, use proper circuit
protection.

3
This tool is wired at the factory
for 120V AC operation. It must
be connected to a 120V AC, 15 A
circuit that is protected by a time-
delayed fuse or circuit breaker. To
avoid shock or re, replace power
cord immediately if it is worn, cut or
damaged in any way.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNING: Read all safety
warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of
a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) reduces the risk of electric
shock.

4
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes,hardhat,orhearingprotection
used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to
power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal
injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust- related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions

5
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check
for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working
conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Hold power tools by insulated
gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live“ wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live“
and shock the operator.
Use auxiliary handles supplied
with the tool. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by
a qualied repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
WARNING: Know your drill.
Do not plug in the drill until
you have read and understand
this Instruction Manual. Learn
the tool’s applications and
limitations, as well as the specic
potential hazards related to this
tool. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, re, or
serious injury.
Always wear eye protection.
Any power tool can throw
foreign objects into your
eyes and cause permanent eye
damage. ALWAYS wear safety
goggles (not glasses) that comply
with ANSI safety standard Z87.1.
Everyday glasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They ARE NOT
safety glasses.
WARNING: Glasses or goggles
not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1
could cause serious injury when
they break.
WARNING: Always use a

6
safety shield, hearing protection
and dust mask when drilling
concrete. Do not drill material too
small to be securely held.
Always keep hands out of the path
of the drill bit. Avoid awkward hand
positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to move into the
path of the drill bit.
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps
or a vice to hold the workpiece. It
is safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
Make sure there are no nails or
foreign objects in the part of the
workpiece to be drilled.
To avoid injury from accidental
starting, always remove the plug
from the power source before
installing or removing a drill bit.
Do not install or use any drill bit
that exceeds 7” (17.5 cm) in length
or extends more than 6” (15 cm)
beyond the chuck jaws. They can
bend or break suddenly.
Before starting the operation, jog
the drill switch to make sure the drill
bit does not wobble or vibrate.
Do not use y cutters or multiple-
part hole cutters, because they can
come apart or become unbalanced
during use.
Make sure the spindle has come to
a complete stop before touching the
chuck or attempting to change the
drill bit.
Always make sure the chuck is tight
and the drill bit rmly tightened in
the chuck before starting drill.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION
CORDS
WARNING: Keep the extension
cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so it will not get
caught on the workpiece, tools or
any other obstructions while you are
working with the power tool.
Make sure your extension cord is
the proper size. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current
the tool will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and
overheating. T
he table shows the correct size to
use according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number the
heavier the cord.

7
Be sure your extension cord is
properly wired and in good condition.
Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by
a qualied electrician before using
it. Protect your extension cord from
sharp objects, excessive heat and
damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit
for your power tools. This circuit
must not be less than 14 gauge
wire and should be protected with
either a 15AMP time delay fuse or
circuit breaker. Before connecting
the power tool to the power source,
make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the power source
is the same as indicated on the
nameplate. Running at lower voltage
will damage the motor.

WARNING
For safety reasons, the operator
must read the sections of
this Owner’s Manual entitled
“GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS”,
“POWER TOOL SAFETY”,
“SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES”,
“GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION
CORDS” and “SYMBOLS” before
using this drill.
Verify the following every time
the hammer drill is used:
1. Safety glasses, safety goggles,
or face shield is being worn.
2. Hearing protection and dust
mask are being worn when
drilling in concrete.
3. The chuck has not worked
loose on the spindle.
4. The bit is in good condition,
and is properly tightened into the
chuck.
Failure to observe these safety
rules will signicantly increase
the risk of injury.
DRILLING
Fig.9
When drilling into smooth, hard
surfaces such as metal, use a
center punch to mark the desired
hole location. This will prevent the
drill bit from slipping off center as the
hole is started.

13
The workpiece to be drilled should
be secured in a vice or with clamps
to keep it from turning as the drill bit
rotates (Fig. 7).
1. Check the drill bit to make sure it
is rmly locked into the drill chuck,
and verify that the forward/reverse
switch is in the forward position.
2. Hold the drill rmly with both
hands whenever possible. Use one
hand to grasp the handle and switch.
NOTE: Make sure the hand placed
on the body of the drill does not
cover the air vents. Covering these
air vents will reduce motor cooling,
and possibly lead to overheating the
motor.
3. While holding the drill rmly, place
the point of the drill bit at the point
to be drilled. Squeeze the switch
trigger to start the drill.
NOTE: Always use a higher drill
speed when drilling small holes. Use
a slower drill speed when drilling
large holes.
4. Move the drill bit into the workpiece
applying only enough pressure to
keep the bit cutting. Do not force the
drill bit or apply sideways pressure
to elongate the hole.
WARNING: Be prepared for
binding and bit breakthrough.
When these situations occur,
the drill bit has a tendency to
grab the workpiece. This action
will kick the drill opposite to the
direction of the drill bit rotation,
and could cause loss of control
when breaking through material
as you complete drilling the hole.
If you are not prepared, this loss
of control can result in serious
injury.
When drilling metals, use light oil on
thedrillbittokeepitfromoverheating.
The oil will prolong the life of the drill
bit and improve the cutting action.
If the bit jams in the workpiece, or
if the drill stalls, release the trigger
switch immediately. Remove the bit
from the workpiece and determine
the reason for jamming.
REMOVING THE CHUCK
Fig.8

14
Fig.9
Fig.10
To remove the chuck:
1. Remove the drill plug from the
power source.
2. Insert a 5/16” (8 mm) or larger hex
key (1) into the chuck (2) and tighten
the chuck jaws securely (Fig. 10).
Make sure each of the chuck jaws
(3) is seated on the at surfaces of
the hex key.
3. Tap the hex key sharply with a
mallet (4) in a clockwise direction.
This action will loosen the screw in
the chuck for easy removal.
4.Open the chuck jaws and remove
the hex key.
5. Open the chuck jaws as far as
possible.
6. Remove the chuck screw using a
#2 screwdriver (Fig. 11).
NOTE: Turn the screw CLOCKWISE
to remove it. This screw has a left-
handed thread.
7. Insert the hex key into the chuck
and tighten jaws of chuck securely
(Fig.12). Tap the hex key sharply
with a mallet in a COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE direction. This will
loosen the chuck on the spindle.
The chuck can now be unscrewed
and removed from the spindle by
hand.
RETIGHTENING A LOOSE CHUCK
Fig.11
After installing a chuck that has
previously been removed, the chuck
may become loose on the spindle
and develop a wobble. Also, the

15
chuck screw may become loose,
causing the chuck jaws to bind and
prevent them from closing. To tighten
the chuck, follow these steps:
1. Insert the hex key into the chuck
and tighten the chuck securely.
2. Tap the hex key sharply with a
mallet in a CLOCKWISE direction
(Fig. 11). This will tighten the chuck
on the spindle.
3. Open the chuck jaws and remove
the hex key.
4. Tighten the chuck screw using a
#2 screwdriver.
NOTE: Turn the screw COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to tighten it. This
