C. Precautions on usage

(1) Operating the switch

1) Pull the trigger and push the switch stopper to continuously activate the switch, even if you release

your finger from the trigger. This is convenient for continuous operation. To turn off the switch, pull the

trigger again and release your finger from the trigger. The switch stopper is then cancelled.

2) The speed varies depending on the extent to which the trigger is pulled on the Models DV 13VSS and

DV 16VSS. When determining the center of a drilling hole, slightly pull the trigger and start operation

slowly.

(2) Selecting the direction of rotation (Models DV 13VSS and DV 16VSS)

When the forward/reverse changeover lever is moved to the " " side, the drill bit turns clockwise

(forward) when viewed from behind. When the lever is moved to the " " side, the drill bit turns

counterclockwise (reverse). " " and " " are indicated on the enclosure as shown in the figure below.

Note that it is impossible to change the forward/reverse changeover lever position during operation. Be

sure to turn off the switch and wait until the motor stops completely before changing the position of the

forward/reverse changeover lever.

(3) Selecting between rotation only mode and rotation and impacting mode

The " " mark and " " mark are found on the top of the inner cover. The " " mark indicates drill

(rotation only) mode and the " " indicates impact drill (rotation and impacting) mode. Slide the change

lever to the left so that the " " mark can be seen. The tool then enters drill (rotation only) mode. Slide

the change lever to the right so that the " " mark can be seen. The tool then enters impact drill

(rotation and impacting) mode. Be sure to wait until the motor stops completely before changing the

position of the change lever.
