How to Power a Hammer Drill

Hi! My name is Matthew Christian from Tampa, Florida and on behalf of Expert Village, we are going to talk about the proper use of a hammer drill. As I mentioned earlier, some impact or some hammer drills rather, are cordless and some are battery operated. Battery operated obviously gives you the flexibility to take the drill wherever you may need it. It also allows you to drill in places where there is no power or no house current available for you to use a drill. But there may be instances where you are going to be using the drill for prolonged period of time. You may have to drill many many holes. In that case, the battery operated drill may not be effective for you since you will be going through batteries left and right. As a result, I would recommend using the cord drill. When using any corded or electric power tool, it is very important to use a proper gage extension cord. If you are just using a 25 foot extension cord, the typical extension cord would be sufficient but when you are going longer than 25 feet, say 50, 75 or 100 feet more, you would want to go with a heavier gaged cord but for all practical purposes, we have a 25 foot cord here and this will be just fine. When you go to plug it in, it would be wise to make sure that the drill is not on. This particular model has a locking feature where you can lock the drill on so prior to plugging it in, I am going to make sure the drill is not on the locked on position. To help prevent our cord from coming undone later, we are going to make a knot in our cord and then we will plug it in.
