OPERATION
Hammer drilling requires low operator pres-
sure.
An excess of pressure can cause the motor to be
unnecessarily overloaded.
MANUAL SIDE GRIP
The manual side grip can be rotated to either side of the
machine to ensure safe and comfortable operation for
both left and right-handed operators.
1. Loosen the grip by turning anti-clockwise.
2. Rotate the grip to the desired position.
3. Tighten the grip firmly.
CHANGING AND REMOVING DRILL BITS

Blunt drill bits should be re-sharpened or
replaced
1. Lightly lubricate the shaft of the drill bit before inser-
ting into the machine.
2. Place the shaft of the drill bit into the opening of the
drill chuck and twist until latched.
3. To release and remove the drill bit pull back the collar
of drill chuck .
ADJUSTING DEPTH STOP
1. Loosen the manual side grip.
2. Place the straight part of the depth stop through the
hole in the grip.
3. Adjust the stop to the desired bit depth.
4. Tighten the grip firmly.
INSTALLING DUST CATCHER

slowly or not at all
-Motor overloaded due to excessive pressure or dril-
ling depth
Reduce pressure or drilling depth,decrease force
-Motor damaged
Repair your machine by an expert.
-Main power supply voltage too low
Adjust main power supply voltage
-Worn out brushes
Replace carbon brushes
Overheating of gearbox surface
Overloading or blunt drill bit
Reduce load or sharpen drill bit
