Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to enclosed safety
instructions.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses
and/or face shield. It is also highly recommended
that you wear a dust mask, ear protectors and
thickly padded gloves.
2. Be sure the bit is secured in place before opera-
tion.
3. Under normal operation, the tool is designed to
produce vibration. The screws can come loose
easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check
tightness of screws carefully before operation.
4. In cold weather or when the tool has not been
used for a long time, let the tool warm up for sev-
eral minutes by operating it under no load. This
will loosen up the lubrication. Without proper
warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.
5. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no
one is below when using the tool in high locations.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Keep hands away from moving parts.
8. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
9. Do not point the tool at any one in the area when
operating. The bit could fly out and injure some-
one seriously.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing bit
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the bit.
This tool accepts 3/4" Hexagonal and 21/32" round shank
bits. Clean the bit shank and apply the bit grease pro-
vided to it before installing the bit. (Fig. 1)
Pull the tool holder cover down all the way. (Fig. 2-1)
With the cut in the bit shank aligned with the notch in the
tool holder cap, insert the bit into the tool holder. (Fig. 2-2)
Release the tool holder cover. It will return automatically
to its original position to secure the bit. (Fig. 2-3)
After installing, always make sure that the bit is securely
held in place by trying to pull it out.
To remove the bit, pull the tool holder cover down all the
way and pull the bit out.
Bit angle (Fig. 3)
The bit can be secured at 12 different angles. To change
the bit angle, slide the change ring forward, then turn the
change ring to change the bit angle. At the desired angle,
slide the change ring back to the original position. Then
turn the change ring slightly so that the bit will be secured
in place with a little click.
Side handle (auxiliary handle)
The side handle can be swung 360° on the vertical and
secured at any desired position. It also secures at eight
different positions back and forth on the horizontal. Just
loosen the clamp nut to swing the side handle to a desired
position. Then tighten the clamp nut securely. (Fig. 4)
The side handle also can be mounted in the rear groove
as shown in Fig. 5. Loosen the clamp nut and widen the
side handle base. Slide the side handle back to the rear
groove and secure it with the clamp nut. (Fig. 5)
