OPERATION
SELECTING  HAMMER  MODE  OR  DRILLING 
MODE
See Figure 10.
To adjust for type of drilling, slide the selector on top of the 
motor housing to hammer mode or drilling mode. The ham-
mer mode symbol is on the right and the drill bit symbol is 
on the left.
NOTE: The hammer drill has not been designed for reverse 
hammering.
Use  carbide-tipped  bits  and  select  hammer  mode  when 
drilling in hard materials such as brick, tile, concrete, etc.
Select normal drill mode when drilling with twist drills, hole 
saws, etc., in soft materials.
ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM
See Figure 11.
The hammer drill is equipped with an anti-vibration system 
that absorbs impacts while drilling. When sharp impacts hap-
pen, the hammer drill body will flex, as shown in figure 11.

To adjust the auxiliary handle assembly: 
  Loosen the auxiliary handle assembly by turning the knob 
counterclockwise.
  Rotate  the  auxiliary  handle  assembly  to  the  desired 
location.
  Tighten the auxiliary handle assembly securely by turning 
the knob clockwise.
Be sure the handle assembly is securely tightened against 
the depth stop clamp. This secures the handle assembly.
NOTE: For convenience and ease of starting threads, the 
hex  nut  has  been  trapped  inside  the  molded  slot  in  the 
handle assembly.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH STOP ROD
See Figure 9.
Follow these steps to adjust the depth stop rod.
  Press the depth stop rod release button.
  Adjust  the  depth  stop  rod  so  that  the  drill  bit  extends 
beyond the end of the rod to the required drilling depth.
  Release the depth stop rod release button.
NOTE: When properly installed, the teeth on the depth stop 
rod should be aligned with the teeth indicator on the depth 
stop clamp.
Adjust the depth stop rod so that the drill bit extends beyond 
the end of the rod to the required drilling depth.
When drilling holes with the depth stop rod installed, the 
desired hole depth has been reached when the end of the 
rod comes in contact with the surface of the workpiece.
