General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc- tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

ROTARY HAMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS

1. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

2. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

3. Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-faces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-ing or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

4. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recom-mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly padded gloves.

5. Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation.

6. Under normal operation, the tool is designed to produce vibration. The screws can come loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check tightness of screws carefully before operation.

7. In cold weather or when the tool has not been used for a long time, let the tool warm up for a while by operating it under no load. This will loosen up the lubrication. Without proper warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.

8. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
   Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.

9. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

10. Keep hands away from moving parts.

11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.

12. Do not point the tool at any one in the area when operating. The bit could fly out and injure someone seriously.

13. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

14. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or famil- iarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.

2| 180| 1,300
1| 150| 1,100

For model HR4013C, HR5212C 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 con-crete, blows per minute increase and get to the numbers as shown in the table. When tempera-ture is low and there is less fluidity in grease, the tool may not have this function even with the motor rotating.

CAUTION:

• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a long time, the motor may get over-loaded, resulting in tool malfunction.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer work.

Selecting the action mode

CAUTION

• Do not rotate the change lever when the tool is running. The tool will be damaged.
• To avoid rapid wear on the mode change mech-anism, be sure that the change lever is always positively located in one of the action mode positions.

Hammer drilling mode Fig.4: 1. Change lever 2. Pointer

For drilling in concrete, masonry, etc., rotate the change lever to the symbol. Use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.
Hammering mode (Switch trigger mode)
Fig.5: 1. Change lever 2. Pointer

For chipping, scaling or demolition operations, rotatethe change lever to thesymbol. Use a bull point, cold  chisel, scaling chisel, etc.

Hammering mode (Switch button mode) Fig.6: 1. Change lever 2. Pointer

For continuous chipping, scaling or demolition opera-tions, rotate the change lever to the symbol.
Fig.7: 1. Switch button

The switch button projects out and lights in red. Use a bull point, cold chisel, scaling chisel, etc.

NOTE:

• When using the tool in the symbol mode, the switch trigger does not work but only the switch button works.

Torque limiter

The torque limiter actuates when torque reaches a cer-tain level. The motor disengages from the output shaft. When this happens, the bit stops turning.

CAUTION:

• As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off the tool immediately. This helps to prevent premature wear of the tool.

Indicator lamp

Fig.8: 1. Power-ON indicator lamp (green)
Service indicator lamp (red)

The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the tool is plugged in. If the indicator lamp does not light up, the mains cord or the controller may be defective. When the indicator lamp lights up but the tool does not
start even the tool is switched on, the carbon brushes may be worn out, or the controller, the motor or the ON/OFF switch may be defective. If above symptoms occur, stop using the tool immedi-ately and ask your local service center. The red service indicator lamp lights up when the car- bon brushes are nearly worn out to indicate that the tool needs servicing. After some period of use, the motor automatically shuts off.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Side handle
Fig.9

CAUTION:

• Use the side handle only when chipping, scaling or demolishing. Do not use it when drilling in concrete, masonry, etc. The tool cannot be held properly with this side handle when drilling.

Fig.10: 1. Side handle 2. Clamp nut

The side handle can be swung 360° on the vertical and secured at any desired position. It also secures at eight different positions back and forth on the horizontal. Just loosen the clamp nut to swing the side handle to a
desired position. Then tighten the clamp nut securely.

Side grip

CAUTION

• Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety when drilling in concrete, masonry, etc.

Fig.11: 1. Side grip

The side grip swings around to either side, allowing easy handling of the tool in any position. Loosen the side grip by turning it counterclockwise, swing it to the desired position and then tighten it by turning clockwise.

NOTE:

• The depth gauge cannot be used at the position where the depth gauge strikes against the gear housing/motor housing.

OPERATION

CAUTION :

• Make sure the work material is secured and not unstable. Flown object may cause personal injury.
• Do not pull the tool out forcibly even the bit gets stuck. Loss of control may cause injury.

Hammer drilling operation
Fig.19

• Set the change lever to the symbol.
• Position the bit at the desired location for the hole, then pull the switch trigger.
• Do not force the tool. Light pressure gives best results.
• Keep the tool in position and prevent it from slipping away from the hole.
• Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes
• clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole.
• By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out and you can continue drilling operation.

CAUTION:

• There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break-through, when the hole becomes clogged with chips and particles, or when striking rein-forcing rods embedded in the concrete. Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool by both side grip and switch handle during operations, and maintain good balance and safe footing. Failure to do so may result
  in the loss of control of the tool and potentially severe injury.

Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)
