Overload clutch
In case of jamming of a drill bit, the drive to the drill spindle
is interrupted. Because of the resulting forces, always hold
the tool with both hands and take a
fi rm stance.
Brake mechanism
When the variable speed switch is released, the spindle
will stop rotating instantly.
Active vibration control
The active vibration control neutralises rebound vibration
from the hammer mechanism.
Lowering hand and arm vibration, it allows more
comfortable use for longer periods of time and extends
the life of the unit.
In operation, a spring loaded mechanism counterbalances
the vibration forces. This can be sensed by the cushioning
effect when pressure is applied to the tool. Make sure
the spring is engaged but not too
fi rmly. The mechanism
should be allowed to ‘ fl oat’.
Intended use
Your cordless rotary hammer drill has been designed for
professional drilling, hammer drilling and screwdriving
applications.
DO NOT use under humid conditions or in presence of
fl ammable liquids or gases.
These drills are professional power tools. DO NOT let
children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is
required when inexperienced operators use this tool.
Electrical safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
