2. Anti-jamming Switch
The anti-jamming switch has two functions; one is to prevent jamming where the bit and rod cannot
be pulled out during the drilling. And the other is RP (Reverse Percussion), which is to pull out the rod
by using the drifter impact force when the rod cannot be pulled out during drilling.
Anti-Jamming Position
Tilt the switch to ON, and the safety device (anti-jamming) operates.
It automatically moves backward, if an abnormal condition is detected during drilling. If the following
troubles are detected while the anti-jamming works, the drifter moves backward automatically.
The flushing air pressure has dropped due to a trouble of the compressor.
Flushing airflow has dropped due to stuffing of bit tip, etc.
Rod rotation pressure has increased abnormally due to thrust up to the fracture zone or a solid
zone.
RP Position (If Equipped)
RP (Reverse Percussion) uses drifter impact force to pull out the rod when the rod cannot be pulled
out during drilling.
★ RP (Reverse Percussion) is installed as an option when the machine is delivered from the factory.

NOTICE
Continuous operation of the RP function not only
leads to increased oil temperature and degradation
of the drifter function, but also to machine
breakdown. Avoid the continuous use of the RP
function, as much as possible.
NOTICE
Too much high speed drilling in H mode greatly increases damage and wears to the
drifter rotary components, rod, and bit. Use the N mode for normal drilling. Do not drill
for more than 5 minutes in the H mode
