unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the

Switch action (Fig. 1)

switch lever actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
To start the tool, simply squeeze the switch lever. Release
the switch lever to stop.
For model HM1812 only
NOTE:
• Blows at no load per minute becomes smaller than
those on load in order to reduce vibration under no load,
but this does not show trouble. Once operation starts
with a bit against concrete, blows per minute increase.
When temperature is low and there is less fluidity in
grease, the tool may not have this function even with
the motor rotating.
Indicator lamps (Fig. 2)
The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when
the tool is plugged. The indicator lamp is lit but the tool
does not start even if the tool is switched on, the carbon
brushes may be worn out, or the controller, the motor or
the ON/OFF switch may be malfunction.
The red service indicator lamp flickers up when the
carbon brushes are nearly worn out to indicate that the
tool needs servicing. After some period of use, motor will
automatically be shut off.

CAUTION:
• Keep well-balanced posture when holding the heavy
tool before / during / after operation to avoid personal
injuries.
• Secure debris in case of breaking it into smaller pieces.
• Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on
and apply slight pressure on the tool so that the tool will
not bounce around, uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on
the tool will not increase the efficiency.

hold the tool by both side grip and switch handle during
operations.
