Mode Selector Switch
The mode selector switch gives you the ability to operate this tool in two different modes. One setting
provides rotation only for driving screws and drilling holes in wood, metal, plastic and other non-
concrete material. The rotation only mode is also used for stirring paint, sanding, wire brushing, etc.
The second mode provides rotation and hammering action. Rotation with hammering action gives you
the ability to bore holes in concrete, asphalt, tile, brick or other similar hard materials.
To select the rotation only or drill mode, move the selector switch completely to the right, toward the
drill symbol .
To select the rotation with hammering action or hammer drill mode, move the selector switch
completely to the left, toward the hammer symbol .
nOTE:
( To engage the hammering mechanism, apply and maintain pressure on the bit. When
pressure on the bit is released, the hammering action will stop and the rotation will continue
until the tool is switched off.)
When using the hammer drill mode for drilling into hard material like concrete, we recommend that you

the bottom of the chuck. for small bits, insert the drill bit so that the bottoms of its flutes are even
with the top of the chuck jaws.
• Center the bit in the jaws and hand tighten the jaws by rotating the chuck collar clockwise, being
sure the bit is properly aligned in the chuck jaws.
• Insert the chuck key into one of three holes in the chuck, turning the chuck key clockwise to
securely tighten the chuck. Do not use a wrench, pliers, or means other than the chuck key to
tighten or loosen the chuck.
To remove the drill bit:
• unplug the hammer drill.
