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 cutting
accessory or may contact hidden
wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
2. Safety instructions when using long
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.
3. Safety instructions when using
hammer mode
m

short as possible. When carrying
out work, always hold the hammer
