1. Power down the hydrauic power source and disconnect from the tool.
2. Open the tool bit latch.
3. Insert a bit in to the tool. Ensure the bit slides into the hex bushing. Note: Never use a dull bit as they cause more vibration.
4. Lock the tool bit latch.
   Set Rotation Direction and Speed
5. The rotation lever starts in the neutral position (up). Turn to set rotation direction and speed.
   Note: Turn lever left for clockwise, right for counterclockwise. The bit will spin faster the farther to 90° the lever is turned.
6. Wipe hydraulic couplers clean and connect to the hydraulic power
   source. Ensure the couplers are tight and correctly engaged.
   Note: Ensure hydraulic oil is at or above 50° F before using the tool. Warm oil if necessary.
7. Power up the hydraulic power source.
8. Wrap hands around the tool handles. Hold the tool with a light, but safe grip, taking account of the required hand reaction forces. Place the bit on the surface to be drilled, at a 90° angle. Apply down pressure.
   WARNING
   Risk from vibration is greater when the holding the tool with higher gripping force. Hold with a light, safe grip.
   When using a rotary percussive drill to perform work-related activities, you may experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts of the body. Adopt a comfortable posture while maintaining secure footing and avoiding awkward or off-balance postures. Change posture often during extended tasks as this can help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
   High reaction torque can develop if tool stalls. Hold the tool correctly and be ready to counteract sudden movements. Hold the tool with both hands.
9. Push the trigger lock (CE models only).
10. Slowly squeeze the trigger to start drilling. Squeeze harder for fast speed operation. Guide the hammer drill using both hands on the handles. Keep the drill bit centered in the hole.
    Note: Collaring should be avoided where possible. However, if necessary, exposure should be kept to a minimum.
