Torque limiter
NOTICE:
As soon as the torque limiter actuates,
switch off the tool immediately. This will help pre-
vent premature wear of the tool.
NOTICE:
Drill bits such as hole saw, which tend
to pinch or catch easily in the hole, are not appro-
priate for this tool. This is because they will cause
the torque limiter to actuate too frequently.
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque
level is reached. The motor will disengage from the
output shaft. When this happens, the drill bit will stop
turning.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Side grip (auxiliary handle)
CAUTION:
Always use the side grip to ensure
safe operation.
CAUTION:
After installing or adjusting the
side grip, make sure that the side grip is firmly
secured.
Install the side grip so that the protrusions on the grip fit
in between the grooves on the tool barrel. Then tighten
the thumb screw clockwise to fix the grip at the desired
position.
The side grip can be swung 360° so as to be secured at
any position.

Grease
Coat the shank end of the drill bit/chisel beforehand with
a small amount of grease (about 0.5 - 1 g).
This chuck lubrication assures smooth action and lon-
ger service life.
Installing or removing drill bit/chisel
Clean the shank end of the drill bit/chisel and apply
grease before installing the drill bit/chisel.

Chisel angle (when chipping,
scaling or demolishing)
The chisel can be secured at the desired angle. To
change the chisel angle, rotate the action mode chang-
ing knob to the O symbol. Turn the chisel to the desired
angle.
► Fig.10: 1. Action mode changing knob
Rotate the action mode changing knob to the
bol. Then make sure that the chisel is securely held in
place by turning it slightly.
Depth gauge
The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of
uniform depth. Loosen the thumb screw and adjust
the depth gauge to the desired depth. After adjusting,
tighten the thumb screw firmly.

hole break-through, when the hole becomes clogged
with chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing
rods embedded in the concrete. Always use the side
grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool by
both side grip and switch handle during opera-
tions. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control
of the tool and potentially severe injury.
