Protect yourself from vibration
Hand held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause
•
disease. Gloves to keep the operator warm may help to maintain good
blood circulation in the fingers. Hand held tools should not be used for
long periods without a break.
Maintain your power tool
Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times. Overheating and
•
fire may otherwise result.
Always disconnect
Before changing fittings or accessories, always ensure that your tool is
•
disconnected from the power source.
Switch off before connecting
Ensure that the power tool is switched off before connecting to the power
•
source. If the power tool stops unexpectedly, turn the power switch to off.
Do not abuse the power cord
Be sure your cable or extension cable is in good condition. Always have
•
a damaged cable or extension cable replaced at an authorised service
centre before using it. Never yank or pull the cable to disconnect it from
the power socket. Never carry your tool by its cable. Keep the cable away
from damp, heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges.
Don’t leave the tool running unattended
Always wait until your tool has completely stopped functioning, and has
•
been unplugged, before leaving it.
SDS Drill Safety
Only use this tool with SDS+ fitting drill accessories. Do not force other
•
types of accessory to fit. If using an adaptor chuck, DO NOT engage
hammer action. Misuse of this tool could cause permanent damage, and
may invalidate your warranty.
Be aware of the effects of vibration when using hammer action. By
•
nature of their design SDS type drills will produce greater vibration than
conventional hammer drills.
Be aware that both ends of drill bits may be hot after use. Wear gloves.
•
Unpacking and Assembling Your
Drill
Carefully unpack your drill. Ensure all packaging materials are removed
•
and fully familiarise yourself with all features of the product.
If any parts are damaged or missing, have these parts repaired or
•
replaced before use.
Using Your SDS Hammer Drill
WARNING: Always disconnect the machine from the mains power supply
before making adjustments or changing accessories.
Side handle
The side handle (3) should always be used when drilling.
•
The side handle can be adjusted to best suit the work to be performed.
•
To adjust the side handle, rotate anticlockwise. This will loosen the
•
handle assembly. Move the side handle to the required position, and
secure by rotating clockwise.
Operating the chuck
The SDS system allows the bit to move within the chuck (1). This means
•
that it is unnecessary to tighten the chuck around the bit.
Always grease the tail end of SDS bits. Bits should be freshly greased,
•
and free from dirt and dust before use. Pull back the chuck collar (2),
and hold. Push and rotate the bit into the chuck (1), as far as it will go.
Release the chuck collar.
The bit should now be locked into the machine, check by pulling the bit. If
•
the bit can be removed, repeat the above procedure until secure.
To remove a bit from the chuck, pull the chuck collar back, and hold. The
•
bit can then be removed from the machine.
Be aware that it may not be possible to drill holes same standards of
•
accuracy as with a conventional power drill. This is due to the small
amount of “slack” required in the SDS chuck to allow tools to move
easily.
WARNING: Never fit any attachment with a maximum speed
lower than the no load speed of the machine.
