Side Handle
CAUTION: Always hold rotary hammer with both hands. A side
handle is supplied with this rotary hammer. It clamps to the front of
the gear case as shown in Figure 1 and can be rotated 360˚ to permit
right or left hand use. The side handle can be tightened by rotating
the black plastic portion of the side handle clockwise and loosened by
rotating it counterclockwise.
Switch
To start rotary hammer, depress the trigger switch (Figure 2). To
stop rotary hammer, release the switch. To lock the trigger switch in
the ON position for continuous operation, depress the trigger switch
and push in the locking button. The tool will continue to run. To turn
the tool OFF, from a locked ON condition, squeeze and release the
trigger once. Before using the tool (each time), be sure that the
locking button release mechanism is working freely. Do not lock the
switch in the "ON" position when driling by hand so that you can
instantly release the trigger whitch if the bit binds in the hole.
Do not lock the switch ON when drilling by hand so that you can
instantly release the trigger switch if the bit binds in the hole. The
locking button is for use only when the rotary hammer is mounted in
a drill press stand or other wise held stationary. Be sure to release
the locking mechanism before disconnecting the plug from the power
supply. Failure to do so will cause the rotary hammer to start

immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage or injury could
result.
The variable speed trigger switch permits speed control. The
farther the trigger switch is depressed, the higher the speed of the
hammerdrill.
NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a centerpunch,
drilling in metal, plastics or ceramics, or driving screws. Higher
speeds are better for drilling in wood and composition board and for
using abrasive and polishing accessories.
The reversing lever is used to reverse the rotary hammer for
backing out screws or jammed bits. It is located above the trigger,
shown in Figure 2. To reverse the rotary hammer, turn it OFF and
push the reversing lever to the left (when viewed from the chuck end).
To position the lever for forward operation, turn the rotary hammer
OFF and push the lever to the right.
CAUTION: When reversing to clear jammed bits, be ready for
strong reactive torque.
Hammer/Drill Selector (DW567)
To switch tool from the drill only mode to the rotary hammer or
hammer only mode rotate the dial on the applicable symbol shown in
Figure 3.
NOTE: The selector must be in either drill, rotary hammer or hammer
mode at all times. There are no operable positions between the
positions.
SDS Chuck
To insert bit, insert shank of bit about 3/4" into chuck. Push and
rotate bit until it locks in place. The bit will be securely held.
To release bit, pull the collar back and remove the bit.
