What are the safety warnings for power tools?

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” refers to mains-operated (corded) or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.

---

What are the safety precautions for the work area when operating power tools?

Keep the work area clean and well lit because cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust because power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool as distractions can cause you to lose control.

---

What are the electrical safety precautions for using power tools?

Power tool plugs must match the outlet and never modify the plug. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions, as water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse the cord, and never use it for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts because damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use to reduce the risk of electric shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply, as this reduces the risk of electric shock.

---

What are the personal safety precautions when using power tools?

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Always use personal protective equipment and wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection will reduce personal injuries when used for appropriate conditions. Prevent unintentional starting by ensuring the switch is in the off position before connecting to the power source, battery pack, picking up, or carrying the tool. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on because a wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach and keep proper footing and balance at all times for better control of the power tool. Dress properly and do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used, as dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

---

What are the precautions for the proper use and care of power tools?

Do not force the power tool, and use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off because any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools to reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools by checking for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use because many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean because properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits in accordance with the instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

---

What are the service precautions for power tools?

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts to ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

---

What should you know about using an extension cord with the power tool?

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current the product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge, as the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

---

What are the safety warnings specific to rotary hammers?

Wear ear protectors because exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. Use auxiliary handles if supplied with the tool, because loss of control can cause personal injury. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessories contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses, and/or a face shield because ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recommended that you wear a dust mask and thickly padded gloves. Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation. 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. 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. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations. Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Keep hands away from moving parts. Do not leave the tool running, and operate the tool only when hand-held. Do not point the tool at anyone in the area when operating, because the bit could fly out and injure someone seriously. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit immediately after operation because they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. Some materials contain chemicals that may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact and follow material supplier safety data.

---

What should you not let comfort or familiarity do?

Do not let comfort or familiarity with a product replace strict adherence to safety rules for the product because misuse or failure to follow the safety rules stated in the instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.

---

For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger, push in the lock button, and then release the switch trigger. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it.

---

How do you turn on the lamp for Model HR2631F and HR2631FT?

To turn on the lamp, pull the trigger. Release the trigger to turn it off. Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of the lamp and be careful not to scratch the lens, or it may lower the illumination. Do not use thinner or gasoline to clean the lamp because such solvents may damage it.

---

What are the cautions for using the reversing switch?

Always check the direction of rotation before operation. Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool. If the switch trigger cannot be depressed, check to see that the reversing switch is fully set to position (A side) or (B side).

---

How do you use the reversing switch for models HR2631F, HR2631FT, HR2630, and HR2630T?

Move the reversing switch lever to the position (A side) for clockwise rotation or the position (B side) for counterclockwise rotation.

---

How do you use the reversing switch for model HR2641?

When you operate the tool in counterclockwise rotation, the switch trigger is pulled only halfway, and the tool runs at half speed. For counterclockwise rotation, you cannot push in the lock button. Move the reversing switch lever to the position (A side) for clockwise rotation or the position (B side) for counterclockwise rotation.

---

How do you remove the quick change chuck for SDS-plus for Models HR2631FT and HR2630T?

Before removing the quick change chuck for SDS-plus, always remove the bit. Grasp the change cover of the quick change chuck for SDS-plus and turn in the direction of the arrow until the change cover line moves from the symbol to the symbol. Pull forcefully in the direction of the arrow.

---

How do you attach the quick change drill chuck for Models HR2631FT and HR2630T?

Check the line of the quick change drill chuck shows the symbol. Grasp the change cover of the quick change drill chuck and set the line to the symbol. Place the quick change drill chuck on the spindle of the tool. Grasp the change cover of the quick change drill chuck and turn the change cover line to the symbol until a click can clearly be heard.

---

What should you not do when changing the action mode?

Do not rotate the action mode changing knob when the tool is running because the tool will be damaged. To avoid rapid wear on the mode change mechanism, be sure that the action mode changing knob is always positively located in one of the three action mode positions.

---

How do you select the action mode for rotation with hammering?

For drilling in concrete, masonry, etc., rotate the action mode changing knob to the symbol. Use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.

---

How do you select the action mode for rotation only?

For drilling in wood, metal, or plastic materials, rotate the action mode changing knob to the symbol. Use a twist drill bit or wood bit.

---

How do you select the action mode for hammering only?

For chipping, scaling, or demolition operations, rotate the action mode changing knob to the symbol. Use a bull point, cold chisel, scaling chisel, etc.

---

What should you do when the torque limiter actuates?

As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off the tool immediately because this will help prevent premature wear of the tool. Bits such as hole saws, which tend to pinch or catch easily in the hole, are not appropriate for this tool. This is because they will cause the torque limiter to actuate too frequently.

---

What happens when the torque limiter actuates?

The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level is reached. The motor will disengage from the output shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.

---

How do you use the hook for Model HR2641?

Never hook the tool at a high location or on a potentially unstable surface. The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily. To use the hook, simply lift up the hook until it snaps into the open position. When not in use, always lower the hook until it snaps into the closed position.

---

What should you always be sure of before carrying out any work on the tool?

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged.

---

How do you install the side grip (auxiliary handle)?

Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety. Install the side grip so that the protrusions on the grip fit in between the grooves on the tool barrel. Then tighten the grip by turning clockwise at the desired position. It may be swung 360 degrees so as to be secured at any position.

---

What should you apply to the bit shank head and why?

Coat the bit shank head beforehand with a small amount of bit grease (about 0.5 – 1 g). This chuck lubrication assures smooth action and longer service life.

---

How do you install or remove the bit?

Clean the bit shank and apply bit grease before installing the bit. Insert the bit into the tool. Turn the bit and push it in until it engages. After installing, always make sure that the bit is securely held in place by trying to pull it out. To remove the bit, pull the chuck cover down all the way and pull the bit out.

---

How do you change the bit angle when chipping, scaling, or demolishing?

The bit can be secured at the desired angle. To change the bit angle, rotate the action mode changing knob to the O symbol. Turn the bit to the desired angle. Rotate the action mode changing knob to the symbol. Then make sure that the bit is securely held in place by turning it slightly.

---

How do you use the depth gauge?

Press the lock button on the grip base in the direction of the arrow and with the lock button being pressed, insert the depth gauge into the hex hole in the grip base. The depth gauge needs to be inserted so that its toothed side is directed to the toothed side of the hex hole marking on the grip base. Adjust the depth gauge to the desired depth by moving it back and forth while pressing the lock button. After the adjustment, release the lock button to lock the depth gauge. Inserting the depth gauge with its toothed side not directed to the toothed side of the hex hole marking on the grip base does not allow the depth gauge to be locked.

---

How do you use the dust cup?

Use the dust cup to prevent dust from falling over the tool and on yourself when performing overhead drilling operations. Attach the dust cup to the bit.

What size of bits can the dust cups be attached to?

• Dust cup 5: 6 mm (1/4") – 14.5 mm (9/16")
• Dust cup 9: 12 mm (15/32") – 16 mm (5/8")

---

How do you install or remove the dust cup (optional accessory)?

Before installing the dust cup, remove the bit from the tool if installed on the tool. Install the dust cup on the tool so that the symbol on the dust cup is aligned with the grooves in the tool. To remove the dust cup, pull the chuck cover in the direction shown and with the chuck cover pulled, take the bit out of the tool. Then grab the attachment at the foot of the dust cup and take it out.

---

What should you do if the cap comes off of the dust cup?

Remove the bellows from the attachment and fit the cap from the side with its flat side facing upward so that the groove in the cap fits in the inside periphery of the attachment. Finally, mount the bellows that has been removed.

---

What should you do before connecting a vacuum cleaner to your hammer?

The dust cap needs to be removed from the dust cup before the connection.

---

What should you always use and firmly hold during operations?

Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool by both the side grip and switch handle during operations.

---

What are the cautions for hammer drilling operation?

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 reinforcing rods embedded in the concrete. Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool by both the side grip and switch handle during operations. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control of the tool and potentially severe injury.

---

How do you perform a hammer drilling operation?

Set the action mode changing knob 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 the 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 normal drilling may be resumed. Eccentricity in the bit rotation may occur while operating the tool with no load, but the tool automatically centers itself during operation, and this does not affect the drilling precision.

---

How do you use the blow-out bulb?

After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the dust out of the hole.

---

How do you perform chipping, scaling, and demolition?

Set the action mode changing knob to the symbol. 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 efficiency.

---

What are the cautions for drilling in wood or metal?

Never use “rotation with hammering” when the quick change drill chuck is installed on the tool because the quick change drill chuck may be damaged. Also, the drill chuck will come off when reversing the tool. Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling, and this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease tool performance, and shorten the service life of the tool. There is a tremendous twisting force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break-through. Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece. A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly. Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device.

---

How do you perform drilling in wood or metal for Models HR2631F, HR2641, and HR2630?

Set the action mode changing knob to the symbol. You can drill up to 13 mm in diameter in metal and up to 32 mm in diameter in wood. Use the drill chuck assembly. When installing it, refer to “Installing or removing the bit”. To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will go. Tighten the chuck by hand. Place the chuck key in each of the three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure to tighten all three chuck holes evenly. To remove the bit, turn the chuck key counterclockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.

---

How do you perform drilling in wood or metal for Models HR2631FT and HR2630T?

Use the quick change drill chuck as standard equipment. When installing it, refer to “changing the quick change chuck for SDS-plus”. Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck. To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise.

---

What is the caution for diamond core drilling?

If performing diamond core drilling operations using “rotation with hammering” action, the diamond core bit may be damaged. When performing diamond core drilling operations, always set the change lever to the position to use “rotation only” action.

---

How do you operate the tool when using the dust cup?

Operate the tool with the dust cup against the ceiling surface. The dust cup is intended only for drilling in ceramic workpieces such as concrete and mortar. Do not use the tool with the dust cup when drilling in metal or similar, as using the dust cup for drilling in metal may damage the dust cup due to the heat produced by small metal dust or similar. Empty the dust cup before removing a drill bit. When using the dust cup, make sure that the dust cap is mounted on it securely.

---

What should you always be sure of before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance?

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged.
