TOOL TIPS
Following a few simple tips will reduce wear
on the tool and the chance of injury to the
operator.
NOTE: The high efficiency available from
the rotary hammers can only be obtained if
sharp and undamaged accessories are used.
The "cost" to maintain sharp and undamaged
accessories is more than offset by the "time
saved" in operating the tool with sharp
accessories.
All hammers require a short period of time to
warm up. Depending on the room
temperature, this time may vary from
approximately 15 seconds (90°F) to 2
minutes (32°F). A new hammer requires a
break-in period before full performance is
realized. This period may require up to 5
hours of operation.
Carbide tipped bits: Used for drilling stone,
concrete, cement, brick, cinder block and
other unusually hard non-metals. The Rotary
Hammer is designed for "SDS" Carbide
Tipped Bits up to 3/4 inch diameter.
3 JAW CHUCK
The 3 Jaw Chuck with SDS Shank Adaptor
accessory can convert your tool for use with
straight shank bits.
You will extend the life of your bits and do
neater work if you always put the bit in contact
with the workpiece BEFORE pulling the
trigger. During operation, hold the drill firmly
and exert moderate, steady pressure. Too
much pressure at low speed will stall the
hammer. Too little pressure will keep the bit
from cutting and cause excess friction by
sliding over the surface. This can be
damaging to the drill and bit.
Shanks of all drill bits should be wiped clean
prior to using and immediately after removing.
Recall these instructions for safe operation:
1. Some materials require slow drilling
speeds; whereas, others require higher speed
to produce the best results.
2. All work must be supported or secured
before drilling and steady, even pressure
applied in line with the drill bit.
3. As the drill bit cuts through the opposite
side, reduce the pressure and continue
running the drill as the bit is withdrawn.
Materials such as glass, porcelain, ceramics,
tiles, plastics, etc., should be drilled at low
speeds with specially designed drill bits and
lubricants.
DRILLING WOOD OR PLASTIC
If backing block is not used, ease up on the
pressure just before the bit breaks through
the wood to avoid splintering. Complete the
hole from the opposite side immediately after
the point breaks through. If bit binds, reverse
the drilling operation to help remove the bit
from the work.
DRILLING METAL
There are two rules for drilling hard materials.
First, the harder the material, the greater the
pressure you need to apply to the tool. Second,
the harder the material, the slower the speed.
Here are a couple of tips for drilling in metal.
Make a center punch in the material for
easier starting. Lubricate the tip of the bit
occasionally with cutting oil except when drilling
soft metals such as aluminum, copper or cast
iron. If the hole to be drilled is fairly large, drill a
smaller hole first, then enlarge to the required
size, it's often faster in the long run. Maintain
enough pressure to assure that the bit does not
just spin in the hole. This will dull the bit and
greatly shorten its life.
DRILLING MASONRY
Use carbide-tipped masonry bit for cinder
block, mortar, common brick, soft stone and
other materials. The amount of pressure to
be used is dependent upon the type of
material being drilled. Soft materials require
less pressure while the hard materials need
more pressure to prevent the drill bit from
spinning.
