Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
6. Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of
injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create
a risk of electric shock or injury.
3. Specific safety rules and symbols
Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when per-
forming an operation where the cutting tool may con-
tact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live”
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended
periods.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can
cause hearing loss.
Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must wear
suitable eye protection, a safety helmet, ear protection
and protective gloves. They must also wear breathing
protection if no dust removal system is used.

4. Functional description
The tool is an electrically powered rotary hammer drill
and breaker with a pneumatic hammering mechanism.
The ATC function TE 46-ATC/TE 56-ATC (active torque
control) provides additional safety for the user when
drilling. The tool is intended for professional use.
The tool is equipped with electronic overload protection.
This reduces motor speed or, if necessary, stops the
motor when the tool is subjected to sustained overload.
The motor provides full power again as soon as the con-
trol switch is released and then pressed again. When
restarting, care should thus be taken to ensure that the
tool is held securely with both hands.
Correct use
The tool is designed for drilling in concrete and mason-
ry. The tool may also be used for light to medium-duty
chiseling work.
The working environment may be on a construction site
or in a workshop and may consist of renovation, con-
version or new building work.
