slide the change ring back to the original position. The bit
will be secured in place.
Hook (Fig. 8)
When connecting the power supply cord to an extension
cord, use the hook so that the plug of power supply cord
cannot be disconnected from the connector of extension
cord. Set it on the extension cord 10 cm - 20 cm away
from the connector of the extension cord.
OPERATION (Fig. 9)
Position the bit at the location to be chipped, then pull the
switch trigger. Apply slight pressure on the tool so that the
tool will not bounce around, uncontrolled.
Pressing very hard on the tool will not increase the
efficiency. (Fig. 10)
NOTE:
• When removing tiles with a scaling chisel, apply the
chisel to the bottom of tiles as shown in the figure. If
you operate the tool with the chisel applied to the top
surface of tiles, the service life of the chisel will be
shortened.
