Mode Selector (Fig. 4)
CAUTION: Do not change to drill or hammerdrill mode with a chisel
bit in the chuck. Personal injury and damage to tool mayresult.
CAUTION: Never change the mode while the unit isrunning.
For straight drilling, rotate the mode
selector (D) until the arrow points to the drill
bit symbol (J). For rotary hammer mode,
align the arrow with the rotary hammer
symbol (K). For chipping mode, align arrow
with the chipping symbol (L).
NOTE: The mode selector (D) must be
in drill, hammer or chipping mode at all
times. There are no operable positions
inbetween.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. 2, 5)
A forward/reverse control button (C) determines the direction of bit
rotation and also serves as a lock-offbutton.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch (B) and depress
the forward/reverse control button on the right side of thetool.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control button on the
left side of thetool.
The center position of the control button locks the tool in the
off position. When changing the position of the control button, be
sure the trigger isreleased.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction of
rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not
indicate aproblem.
