Instruction & User Manual
1. Safety instructions for all operations
m
Wear ear protectors when impact
drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
m
Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Ensure that any tool bits or accessories
used with this power tool are genuine
good quality JCB branded items, or similar
equivalent quality. The use of low-grade
or modified items may result in failure and
possible operator injury.
Do not insert standard 25mm long
hex bits directly into the chuck as
they are unsuitable for use in impact
driver chucks. 25mm long hex bits can
instead be fitted into a suitable hex
bit tool holder.
NOTE
2. Safety instructions when using drill
bits
m
Never operate at higher speed than
the maximum speed rating of the
drill bit.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely
to bend if allowed to rotate freely without
contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
m
Use a detector to locate lines in walls
with concealed electric, water or gas
lines. Avoid touching live components
or conductors.
Inadvertant contact with
hidden items may cause serious injury or
damage to the tool.
m
Always start drilling at low speed
and with the bit tip in contact with
the workpiece.
At higher speeds, the bit
is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely
without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
m
Apply pressure only in direct line with
the bit and do not apply excessive
pressure.
Bits can bend causing breakage
or loss of control, resulting in personal
injury.
