Setup

1. Attaching the Auxiliary Handle:

   Loosen the auxiliary handle by rotating its grip counter-clockwise. Slide the handle onto the front of the drill body, positioning it to your comfort. Tighten the handle by rotating its grip clockwise until it is secure.

2. Inserting the Depth Gauge:

   The depth gauge slides through the hole in the auxiliary handle. Insert the graduated end of the depth gauge into the handle. Adjust its position to set the desired drilling depth. The depth gauge will stop the drill when the set depth is reached.

3. Installing a Drill Bit:

   Ensure the drill is unplugged. Twist the front collar of the 1/2-inch keyless chuck counter-clockwise to open the jaws. Insert the drill bit fully into the chuck. Twist the collar clockwise to tighten the jaws securely around the bit. Ensure the bit is centered and firmly gripped before operation.

Operating Instructions

1. Selecting Drill Mode:

   Locate the sliding mode switch on the top of the drill. Slide it to the drill icon for standard drilling in wood, metal, or plastic. Slide it to the hammer icon for hammer drilling in masonry, brick, or concrete.

2. Variable Speed Control:

   The drill features a variable-speed trigger. Press the trigger lightly for lower speeds and press it further for higher speeds. This allows for precise control over drilling speed depending on the material and application.

3. Using the Lock-on Button:

   For continuous operation, press the variable-speed trigger fully, then press the lock-on button located on the side of the handle. Release the trigger, and the drill will continue to run. To disengage, press the trigger fully again and release it.

4. Drilling:

   Position the drill bit on the desired drilling point. Start the drill at a low speed to prevent the bit from wandering, then gradually increase speed as the bit engages the material. Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the drill.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your hammer drill.

• Cleaning:

  After each use, unplug the drill and clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Clear any dust or debris from the ventilation slots to prevent overheating.

• Cord Inspection:

  Periodically inspect the power cord for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. If damaged, have it repaired by a qualified service technician.

• Storage:

  Store the drill in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children. Protect it from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
