2. Nga Tohutohu Haumaru Whanui

WHAKATŪPATO: Panuitia nga whakatupato haumaru katoa, nga tohutohu, nga whakaahua, me nga korero e whakaratohia ana me tenei taputapu hiko. Ki te kore e whai i nga tohutohu katoa kua whakarārangihia i raro ake nei ka puta pea he ru hiko, he ahi, he whara kino/ranei.

2.1 Haumaru Wāhi Mahi

• Kia ma te waahi mahi me te whakamarama pai. Ko nga waahi pouri, nga waahi pouri ranei ka pa mai nga aitua.
• Kaua e whakahaere i nga taputapu hiko i roto i nga hau puhipuhi, penei i te waahi o te wai mura, hau, puehu ranei. Ka hangaia e nga taputapu hiko nga korakora e mura ai te puehu me te kohu.
• Tiakina nga tamariki me nga tangata e tu ana i te wa e whakahaere ana i te taputapu hiko. Ka taea e nga whakararu ka ngaro koe i te mana whakahaere.

2.2 Haumaru Hiko

• Me rite nga mono taputapu hiko ki te putanga. Kaua rawa e whakarereketia te mono i tetahi huarahi. Kaua e whakamahi i nga mono urutau me nga taputapu hiko kua oti te whakamaarama. Ko nga mono kare i whakarereketia me nga putanga orite ka whakaiti i te tupono o te ru hiko.
• A ape i te pa atu ki te tinana ki nga papa whenua, ki te whenua ranei, penei i nga paipa, nga radiators, nga awhe, me nga pouaka whakamatao. Ka nui ake te mate o te wiri hiko mena ka noho to tinana ki te whenua ranei.
• Kaua e tukuna nga taputapu hiko ki te ua, te makuku ranei. Ko te wai ka uru ki roto i te taputapu hiko ka nui ake te tupono o te ru hiko.

2.3 Haumaru Whaiaro

• Mau tonu te whakamarumaru kanohi. Whakamahia he mohiti haumaru, he mohiti, he parepare kanohi ranei.
• Ka mau i te parenga whakarongo ina whakahaere ana i te taputapu mo te wa roa.
• Kia tika te kakahu. Kaua e kakahuria nga kakahu taratara me nga whakapaipai. Tiakina o makawe me o kakahu mai i nga waahanga neke.
• Kia mataara, kia mataara i taau e mahi ana, me te whakamahi i te whakaaro mohio i te wa e whakahaere ana koe i te taputapu hiko.

2.4 Whakamahi Utauta me te Tiaki

• Kaua e kaha te taputapu hiko. Whakamahia te taputapu hiko tika mo to tono.
• Momotuhia te putea pākahiko mai i te taputapu hiko i mua i te whakarereketanga, te whakarereke i nga taputapu, te penapena taputapu hiko ranei.
• Whakaorangia nga taputapu hiko mangere kia kore e taea e nga tamariki, kaua hoki e tukua te hunga tauhou ki te taputapu hiko, ki enei tohutohu ranei ki te whakahaere i te taputapu hiko.
• Kia mau ki nga taputapu hiko me nga taputapu. Tirohia mo te hee, te here ranei o nga waahanga neke, te pakaru o nga waahanga, me etahi atu ahuatanga ka pa ki te mahi o te taputapu hiko.

2.5 Te Whakamahi me te Tiaki Taputapu Pūhiko

• Whakaorangia anake me te riihi kua tohua e te kaihanga. Ko te rihi e tika ana mo tetahi momo kete pākahiko ka puta he morearea ki te ahi ina whakamahia me tetahi atu kete pākahiko.
• Whakamahia nga taputapu hiko me nga kete pākahiko kua tohua. Ko te whakamahi i etahi atu putea pākahiko ka tupono pea te whara me te ahi.
• Ki te kore e whakamahia te kete pākahiko, kia matara atu i etahi atu mea whakarewa, penei i nga pepa pepa, moni, ki, whao, wiri me etahi atu mea whakarewa iti, ka taea te hono mai i tetahi tauranga ki tetahi atu. Ko te whakapoto i nga pito o te pākahiko ka puta he weranga, he ahi ranei.
• I raro i nga tikanga kino, ka puta te wai mai i te pākahiko; karo whakapā. Mēnā ka tūpono te whakapā, horoia ki te wai. Mena ka pa te wai ki nga kanohi, me rapu awhina hauora. Ko te wai ka puta mai i te pākahiko ka whakapataritari, ka wera ranei.

• Kaiwhiri Whakamua/Whakamuri: Located above the trigger, push the selector left for forward rotation (drilling/driving) and right for reverse rotation (removing screws). Center position locks the trigger for safety.

5.2 Gear Selection (2-Speed)

The drill features a 2-speed gearbox for optimal performance across various applications.

• Gear 1 (Low Speed, High Torque): Slide the gear selector switch to position '1'. Ideal for driving screws, drilling large holes, or applications requiring maximum torque.
• Gear 2 (High Speed, Lower Torque): Slide the gear selector switch to position '2'. Suitable for fast drilling of smaller holes in wood or metal.

NOTE: Always ensure the drill is stopped before changing gear settings to prevent damage to the gearbox.

5.3 Mode Selection (Drill, Drive, Hammer Drill)

Rotate the collar behind the chuck to select the desired operating mode:

• Aratau Drill (Ata Drill): For drilling holes in wood, metal, and plastics.
• Aratau Puku (Ata Tīwiri): For driving screws. The clutch settings (numbered ring) allow you to adjust the torque to prevent over-driving screws or damaging materials.
• Aratau Hammer Drill (Icon Hammer): For drilling into masonry, brick, and concrete. This mode combines rotary action with a hammering motion.

5.4 Aratau Turbo

The Turbo Mode button, located on top of the drill, provides an immediate increase in speed for faster results when needed.

• Pehia te TURBO button during operation to engage maximum speed.
• Release the button to return to the previously selected speed setting.
