Electric Hammer Drill

The correct power tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
►
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
► Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
► Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
► Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may aff ect the power tool’s op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
► Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
► Keep handles and gripping surfaces
dry and clean and free of oil or grease.
Slippery handles and gripping surfaces im-
pede safe handling of the tool and prevent
reliable control in unexpected situations.
► The appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they are supervised
or instructed to use the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
►
Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be per-formed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Hammer Safety Warnings
► Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
►
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with
the tool. Loss of control can cause per-
sonal injury.
► Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the opera-
tor an electric shock.
►
Use suitable detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area
or call the local utility company for as-
sistance. Contact with electric lines can
lead to fi re and electric shock. Damaging a
gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating
a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
► When working with the machine, always
hold it fi rmly with both hands and pro-
vide for a secure stance.
The power tool
is guided more secure with both hands.
► Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a vice
is held more secure than by hand.
►
Always wait until the machine has
come to a complete stop before placing
it down. The tool insert can jam and lead
to loss of control over the power tool.
► Make sure the accessory can rotate
freely before turning on the power tool.
When turning on the power tool with a
jammed working tool, large reaction mo-
ments occur.
► Switch off the power tool if an accesso-
ry is jammed.
Eliminate the cause of the
attachment jam.
► For drilling without hammering in
wood, metal, ceramics and plastics, as
well as for screwdriving, use tools with-
out SDS-plus (for example drills with a
cylindrical shank). These tools require a
keyless chuck or toothed chuck.
► If the dust cap is damaged, it must be
replaced immediately. The dust cap pre-
vents dust generated during drilling from
entering the chuck. When installing the ac-
cessory, be careful not to damage the dust
cap.
