11. Don’t abuse cord

Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect it

cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep

handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

15. Disconnect tools

When not in use, before servicing, and when

changing accessories such as blades, bits and

cutters.

Do not operate tool when you are tired.

20. Check damaged parts

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other

part that is damaged should be carefully checked

to determine that it will operate properly and per-

form its intended function. Check for alignment of

moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that

may affect its operation. A guard or other part

that is damaged should be properly repaired or

replaced by an authorized service center unless

otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction

manual. Have defective switches replaced by

and authorized service center. Do not use tool if

switch does not turn it on and off.

other than recommended in this operating

instruction or the catalog may present a risk of

personal injury.

evant safety rules. Repairing of electric appliances

may be carried out only by experts otherwise it may

cause considerable danger for the user.

ENB002-1

1.

Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when

performing an operation where the cutting tool

may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-

tact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal

parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

Always be sure you have a firm footing.

Be sure no one is below when using the tool in

high locations.

3.

Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Always use

the side grip.

4.

Keep hands away from moving parts.

5.

Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

6.

Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immedi-

ately after operation; they may be extremely hot

and could burn your skin.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 1)

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before installing or removing the side grip.

Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety.

Install the side grip so that the teeth on the grip fit in

between the protrusions on the tool barrel. Then tighten

the grip by turning clockwise at the desired position. It

may be swung 360° so as to be secured at any position.

Installing or removing drill bit (Fig. 2 & 3)

unplugged before installing or removing the bit.

For HP2050, HP2050F

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. After using the chuck key,

be sure to return it to the original position.

For HP2051, HP2051F

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
