10. LUBRICATION MACHINE (See Fig. I)
The machine is grease-lubricated. A grease refill
is only required during hammer work efficiency
is low. Open the grease box lid at the top of the
hammer using the spanner provided. Then refill
approx 30g grease. The grease specification is
general purpose lithium based.
CAUTION:
Keep the container of grease
away from children.
I
11. SAFETY CLUTCH PROTECTION
This tool will generate high forces when is use.
Always hold the tool firmly with both hands and
provide for a secure body position.
If the drill bit or chisel becomes jammed in the
workpiece, the clutch will activate stopping the
tool spindle. This is normal. Switch the machine
off, loosen and remove the drill bit or chisel from
the work piece.
CAUTION
Switching the machine on with the drill bit
or chisel jammed in the work piece will generate
high reaction torque and can result in injury to
end user.
WORKING HINTS
FOR YOUR ROTARY
HAMMER
1. Reduce the pressure on the drill bit when it is
about to break through. This will prevent the drill
from jamming.
2. When drilling a large hole, first drill a pilot hole
using a smaller drill bit.
3. Always apply pressure to your drill bit in a
straight line, and if possible at right angles to the
workpiece.
4. Never change the operating mode whilst the
drill is running.
5. Do not apply excessive pressure to the tool
when chiseling. Excessive force does not speed
up the work.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean
with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool
in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots
clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
Occasionally you may see sparks through the
ventilation slots. This is normal and will not
damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If your power tool does not start, check the
plug on the power supply first.
2. If your hammer becomes too hot in use, set
the hammer switch to the drill mode and allow
your drill to operate at maximum speed without
load for 2 minutes.
3. If your hammer work efficiency is too low,
please add sufficient grease in the grease box.
4. If work efficiency is too low please check drill
bit or chisel and make sure it is not blunt or worn.
5. If a fault can not be rectified, return the tool to
an authorized dealer for repair.
