For keyless chuck (Fig. 2)
(1) Open the chuck jaws, and insert the bit into the chuck.
To open the chuck jaws, hold the ring while turning the
sleeve in the counterclockwise direction (viewed from
the front side).
(2) Firmly grasp the ring and turn the sleeve in the clockwise
direction. Tighten securely.
(3) To remove the bit, fi rmly grasp the ring and turn the
sleeve in the counterclockwise direction.
(4) When the sleeve does not become loose any further, fi x
the side handle to retaining ring, hold side handle fi rmly,
then turn the sleeve to loosen by hand. (Fig. 3)
6. Check the rotational direction (Fig. 4) (DV13VSS,
DV16VSS only)
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) by
turning the rotational change lever to R-mark.
The rotational change lever is returned to the L-mark to
turn the bit counterclockwise.
(The
and
marks are provided on the body.)
CAUTION
Always use the impact drill with clockwise rotation,
when using it as an impact drill.
7. Fixing the side handle (Fig. 5)
Attach the side handle to the mounting part.
Rotate the side handle grip in a clockwise direction to
secure it.
Set the side handle to a position that is suited to the
operation and then securely tighten the side handle
grip.
To attach a depth gauge on the side handle, insert the
gauge into the U-shaped groove on the side handle,
adjust the position of the depth gauge in accordance
with the desired depth of the hole, and fi rmly tighten the
side handle grip. (Fig. 6)
8. IMPACT to ROTATION changeover (Fig. 7)
Shift the change lever between the right and left
positions to switch easily between IMPACT (rotation and
impact) and ROTATION (rotation only), respectively.
To bore holes in hard materials such as concrete,
stone and tiles, shift the change lever to the right-hand
position (as indicated by the
The drill bit operates by the combined actions of impact
and rotation.
To bore holes in metal, wood and plastic, shift the
change lever to the left-hand position (as indicated by
the
mark). The drill bit operates by rotational action
only, as in the case of a conventional electric drill.
CAUTION
○ Do not use the Impact Drill in the IMPACT function if the
material can be bored by rotation only. Such action will
not only reduce drill effi ciency, but may also damage
the drill tip.
○ Operating the Impact Drill with the change lever in
mid-position may result in damage. When switching,
make sure that you shift the change lever to the correct
position.
HOW TO USE
1. Switch operation (Fig. 8)
○ When the trigger is depressed, the tool rotates. When
the trigger is released, the tool stops.
○ Pulling the trigger and pushing the stopper, it keeps
the switched-on condition which is convenient for
continuous running. When switching off , the stopper
can be disconnected by pulling the trigger again.
<DV13VSS, DV16VSS only>
○ The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled by
varying the amount that the trigger switch is pulled.

mark).
Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly
and increases as the trigger switch is pulled more.
2. When using as a Drill or an Impact Drill
(1) Pressing force of the drill
You cannot drill holes more quickly even if you press
the drill with a stronger force than necessary. It not only
damages tip of drill bit and decreases the effi ciency of
operation, but also shortens the life of the drill tip.
(2) In case of penetrating holes
Drill bits can be broken when the material being drilled
is penetrated. It is important to decrease pressing force
just before penetrating.
CAUTION
In continuous operation, conduct no-load operation for
fi ve seconds after completing a drilling job.
(3) When a thick drill bit is used
Your arm is subjected to larger reaction force when a
thicker drill bit is used. Be careful not to be moved by
the reaction force. For this, establish a foothold, hold
the unit tightly with both hands perpendicularly to the
material being drilled.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the drill bits
Since use of an abraded drill bits will cause motor
malfunctioning and degraded effi ciency, replace the
drill bits with a new one or resharpening without delay
when abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
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.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes
For your continued safety and electrical shock
protection, carbon brush inspection and replacement
on this tool should ONLY be performed by a metabo HPT
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
