OPERATION To adjust the auxiliary handle assembly:  Loosen the auxiliary handle assembly by turning the knob counterclockwise.  Rotate the auxiliary handle assembly to the desired location.  Tighten the auxiliary handle assembly securely by turning the knob clockwise. Be sure the handle assembly is securely tightened against the depth stop clamp. This secures the handle assembly. NOTE: For convenience and ease of starting threads, the hex nut has been trapped inside the molded slot in the handle assembly. ADJUSTING THE DEPTH STOP ROD See Figure 9. Follow these steps to adjust the depth stop rod.  Press the depth stop rod release button.  Adjust the depth stop rod so that the drill bit extends beyond the end of the rod to the required drilling depth.  Release the depth stop rod release button. NOTE: When properly installed, the teeth on the depth stop rod should be aligned with the teeth indicator on the depth stop clamp. Adjust the depth stop rod so that the drill bit extends beyond the end of the rod to the required drilling depth. When drilling holes with the depth stop rod installed, the desired hole depth has been reached when the end of the rod comes in contact with the surface of the workpiece. SELECTING HAMMER MODE OR DRILLING MODE See Figure 10. To adjust for type of drilling, slide the selector on top of the motor housing to hammer mode or drilling mode. The hammer mode symbol is on the right and the drill bit symbol is on the left. NOTE: The hammer drill has not been designed for reverse hammering. Use carbide-tipped bits and select hammer mode when drilling in hard materials such as brick, tile, concrete, etc. Select normal drill mode when drilling with twist drills, hole saws, etc., in soft materials. ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM See Figure 11. The hammer drill is equipped with an anti-vibration system that absorbs impacts while drilling. When sharp impacts happen, the hammer drill body will flex, as shown in figure 11.
