be used for inserting and removing screws. It can also be
used in impact drilling mode for drilling masonry and similar
materials.
Do not use the percussion drill/driver in any way other than
those stated for intended use.

DRILL AND SCREWDRIVER SAFETY WARNINGS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Ŷ
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
Ŷ
Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause

Ŷ
Brace the tool properly before use. This tool
produces a high output torque and without properly
bracing the tool during operation, loss of control may

Ŷ
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutting accessory or fasteners
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING LONG DRILL
BITS
Ŷ
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

Ŷ
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

Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do
not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing

damage.
Ŷ
Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying
particles and splinters.

electrical wiring and gas or water pipes.
Ŷ
The product will restart automatically if stalled. Switch
off the product immediately if it stalls. Do not switch on
the product again while it is still stalled, as doing so
could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
Determine why the product stalled and rectify this,
paying heed to the safety instructions.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:
Ŷ
Risk of electrocution if electric cables are drilled into
– Always grasp the tool by designated handles, do
not touch the drill bits.
Ŷ
Damage to the respiratory system
– Wear respiratory protection masks containing filters
appropriate to the materials being worked. Ensure
adequate workplace ventilation. Do not eat, drink or
smoke in the work area.
Ŷ
Damage to hearing
– Always wear effective hearing protection and limit
exposure to noise.
Ŷ
Damage to eyes from flying dust and debris particles
– Always wear suitable eye protection.
Ŷ ,QMXU\FDXVHGE\YLEUDWLRQ
– Hold the tool by designated handles and limit
exposure to vibration. See “RISK REDUCTION”.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
QXPEQHVV DQG EODQFKLQJ RI WKH ¿QJHUV XVXDOO\ DSSDUHQW
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
Ŷ
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm.
