This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counterclockwise rotation. When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position, the switch trigger cannot be pulled. CAUTION: • Always check the direction of rotation before operation. • Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool. • When not operating the tool, always set the reversing switch lever to the neutral position.

Action mode changing knob For chipping, scaling or demolition operations, depress the lock button and rotate the action mode changing knob to the symbol. Use a bull point, cold chisel, scaling chisel, etc. CAUTION: • Do not rotate the action mode changing knob when the tool is running. The tool will be damaged. • To avoid rapid wear on the mode change mechanism, be sure that the action mode changing knob is always positively located in one of the three action mode positions. Torque limiter The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level is reached. The motor will disengage from the output shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning. CAUTION: • As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off the tool immediately. This will help prevent premature wear of the tool. • Hole saws cannot be used with this tool. They tend to pinch or catch easily in the hole. This will cause the torque limiter to actuate too frequently. 3 009122 For drilling in concrete, masonry, etc., depress the lock button and rotate the action mode changing knob to the symbol.

Bit grease Coat the bit shank head beforehand with a small amount of bit grease (about 0.5 -1 g; 0.02 - 0.04 oz.). This chuck lubrication assures smooth action and longer service life. 6
