Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes
clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an
idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole. By
repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out
and normal drilling may be resumed.
Set the action mode changing knob to the
CAUTION:
There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force

exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole
break-through, when the hole becomes clogged
with chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing
rods embedded in the concrete. Always use the
side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool
by both side grip and switch handle during
operations. Failure to do so may result in the loss of
control of the tool and potentially severe injury.
NOTE:
Eccentricity in the bit rotation may occur while operating the
tool with no load. The tool automatically centers itself during
operation. This does not affect the drilling precision.

to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool
performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

Diamond core drilling
When performing diamond core drilling operations,
always set the change lever to the
"rotation only" action.
CAUTION:
If performing diamond core drilling operations using

"rotation with hammering" action, the diamond core
bit may be damaged.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other
maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
