ASSEMBLY

Connecting the Vacuum Hose

Attach the vacuum hose to the port. Twist to form

a tight ﬁ t.

Installing/Removing Nozzle Assembly

To install the nozzle assembly supplied with the

tool, or accessory nozzles:

1. With the nozzle assembly

pointing straight up, line

up the lugs of the nozzle

assembly with the lugs on

the front of the HAMMER-

VAC™. The unlock symbol

on the nozzle assembly

will line up with the mark on

the top of the HAMMER-

VAC™.

2. Turn the nozzle assembly

left or right to lock into place.

The lock symbol on the

nozzle assembly will line up

with the mark on the top of

the HAMMERVAC™.

3. To remove, reverse the pro-

cedure.

Installing/Removing Nozzle

Replace the nozzle:

• After drilling about 1500 holes,

• When the bit brush shows signs

of wear,

• When suction is reduced,

• When dust escapes through the

bit brush during use

To replace the nozzle (Cat. No.

49-90-2301), press in the release

button and pull out from the lower

nozzle assembly. Slide the new

nozzle into the lower nozzle as-

sembly until it snaps into place.

Attaching the HAMMERVAC™ to a Rotary

Hammer/Hammer Drill

The HAMMERVAC™ is provided with three clamp-

ing collar assemblies and one side handle grip.

Choose the correct clamping collar assembly for

the tool being used (see Speciﬁ cations). The side

handle grip should be unscrewed from one as-

sembly to be used on another.

1. Disconnect power from the tool.

2. Remove the tool side handle.

3. Partially screw side handle grip onto clamping

collar assembly

4. Slide the HAMMER-

VAC™ side handle

clamping collar assem-

bly over the chuck and

onto the neck of the tool.

The clamp lever must be

facing up (3).

5. Attach the side handle

clamping collar assem-

bly onto the HAMMER-

VAC™, first the upper

jaw, then lower jaw.

6. Press down the clamp

lever (3) to secure the clamping collar assembly

to the HAMMERVAC™.

7. Rotate the HAMMERVAC™ and side handle

grip to the desired position, and tighten securely.

Adjusting the Side Handle Position

1. Loosen the side handle clamping collar assembly

by unscrewing the side handle grip until the side

handle clamping collar assembly rotates freely.

2. Rotate the side handle grip to the desired posi-

tion.

3. Tighten the side handle grip securely.

Installing/Removing the Bit

Slide the bit through the nozzle and then install

into the tool according to the tool manufacturer's

instructions.

Fitting the HAMMERVAC™

to the Tool and Bit

For proper suction and depth

control, position the nozzle as-

sembly so the bit is ﬂ ush with

the forward face of the nozzle:

1. Slide the clamping collar

forward or backward to ac-

commodate the length of

the bit. Press the clamping

lever down to tighten se-

curely.

2. Press and hold the tool and

bit adjustment button.

3. Push in the nozzle assem-

bly until the bit is ﬂ ush with

the front face of the nozzle.

4. Release the tool and bit ad-

justment button.

NOTE: Fully extend the HAMMERVAC™ before

storing to preserve spring life.

Setting the Drilling Depth

1. Fit the HAMMERVAC™ to the Tool and Bit.

2. Press and hold the depth gauge button and

slide the depth gauge to the desired depth. The

drilling depth is the last visible measurement

shown when viewed from the top of the tool.

To ensure the HAMMERVAC™ is properly set

to the tool, bit, and desired depth, always drill

a test hole.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,

always use side handle provided with dust

extractor when using with a rotary hammer/

hammer drill. When dust extractor is removed

from the tool, always use side handle(s) sup-

plied with the tool. Loss of control can cause

personal injury.
