(3) Pushing the rotary hammer forcibly is not necessary
at all. Pushing slightly so that drill dust comes out
gradually is just sufficient.
CAUTION
When the drill bit touches construction iron bar, the
bit will stop immediately and the rotary hammer
will react to revolve. Therefore please grip the side
handle and handle tightly as shown in Fig. 7.
3. Rotation only
Align the "
" mark with the "
the change lever to set the "Rotation only" mode.
(Fig. 10)
To drill a wood or metal material using the optional
drill chuck and chuck adapter, proceed as follows.
Installing drill chuck and chuck adapter: (Fig. 12)
(1) Attach the drill chuck to the chuck adaptor.
(2) The part of the SDS-plus shank is the same as the
drill bit. Therefore, refer to the item of "Mounting
the drill bit" for attaching it.
CAUTIONS
Application of force more than necessary will
not only expedite work at all, but will deteriorate
the tip edge of the drill bit and reduce the
service life of the rotary hammer in addition.
Drill bit may snap off while withdrawing the
rotary hammer from the drilled hole. For
withdrawing, it is important to use a pushing
motion.
Do not attempt to use the rotary hammer in the
rotation and striking mode with the drill chuck
and chuck adapter attached. This would seriously
shorten the service life of every component of
the machine.
4. When driving wood screws (Fig. 14)
(1) Selecting a suitable driver bit
Employ plus-head screws, if possible, since the
driver bit easily slips off the heads of slotted-head
screws.
(2) Tightening wood screws
Prior to tightening wood screws, make pilot holes
suitable for them in the wooden board. Apply the
bit to the screw head grooves and gently drive the
screws in the holes.
CAUTION
Exercise care in preparing a pilot hole suitable for
the wood screw taking the hardness of the wood
into consideration. Should the hole be excessively
small or shallow, requiring much power to drive
the screw into it, the thread of the wood screw may
sometimes be damaged.
5. Using depth gauge (Fig. 13)
(1) Loosen the knob on the side handle, and insert the
depth gauge into the mounting hole on the side
handle.
(2) Adjust the depth gauge position according to the
depth of the hole and tighten the knob bolt securely.
6. How to use the drill bit (taper shank) and the taper
shank adapter
(1) Mount the taper shank adapter to the rotary hammer.
(Fig. 15)
(2) Mount the drill bit (taper shank) to the taper shank
adapter. (Fig. 15)
(3) Turn the switch ON, and drill a hole to prescribed
depth.
(4) To remove the drill bit (taper shank), insert the

LUBRICATION
Low viscosity grease is applied to this rotary hammer so
that it can be used for a long period without replacing the
grease. Please contact the nearest service center for
" mark by rotating
grease replacement when any grease is leaking form
loosened screw.
Further use of the rotary hammer despite the grease
shortage causes damage to reduce the service life.
CAUTION
A specific grease (FG-6A) is used with this machine,
therefore, the normal performance of the machine may
be badly affected by use of different grease. Please be
sure to let one of our service centers to undertake
replacement of the grease.

cotter into the slot of the taper shank adapter and
strike the head of the cotter with a hammer
supporting on the rest. (Fig. 16)
Since use of a dull tool will degrade efficiency and
cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or
replace the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft
dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water.
Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner,
as they melt plastics.
Store the power tool in a place in which the
temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of
children.
