result in severe damage to your tool, and may invalidate your guarantee.
Caution
Applying excess pressure does not result in faster or more efficient
•
drilling. If the pressure applied to the drill has a noticeable effect on the
speed, reduce the pressure. Overloading the drill will reduce its service
life.
As the bit penetrates the material being drilled, it may “catch” or “snag”.
•
This can cause the machine to suddenly “kick”, to prevent any possibility
of injury always hold the drill securely, use the side handle, and use sharp
drill bits of the correct type.
Always ensure that material is secure. If appropriate use a vice or clamp
•
to hold the work, always keep two hands on the drill.
Maintenance
Remove the plug from the mains power supply before carrying out any
•
maintenance or cleaning.
Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause the
•
machines internal parts to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s
service life.
Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If
•
available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation
holes.
Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn.
•
Excessively worn brushes may cause; loss of power, intermittent failure,
or visible sparking. Always have brushes replaced at an authorised
service centre.
Disposal
Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
•
equipment, with household waste.
Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the proper
•
way to dispose of tools.
On/off trigger switch
Always hold the drill firmly, using both hands.
•
To start the drill, squeeze the on/off trigger switch (6).
•
To stop the drill, release the on/off trigger switch (6).
•
Speed control
The speed of the drill can be varied between 0 and 1050RPM. The speed
•
is adjusted by the position of the on/off trigger switch (6). The further the
trigger is depressed, the faster the drill will run.
Lock on function
This drill is equipped with a lock on button (7). This enables the trigger
•
switch to be locked into the fully depressed position for continuous use.
To engage the lock, fully depress the on/off trigger switch (6) and press
•
the lock on button (7) in. The drill will now run continuously when the
trigger switch is released.
To stop the drill, squeeze and release the on/off trigger switch.
•
Hammer selection
This drill can be used in three different modes, for different purposes:
•
Rotary drill:
Rotary drill mode is suitable for working with wood, metal and plastics.
•
Align the hammer action selector (5) with the symbol.
•
Fit an appropriate drill bit into the chuck.
•
Hammer drill:
Hammer drill mode is suitable for working with brickwork, concrete
•
and other masonry.
Align the hammer action selector (5) with the symbol.
•
Fit an appropriate masonry drill bit into the chuck.
•
Chisel:
Chisel mode is suitable for working with brickwork, concrete and
•
other masonry.
Align the hammer action selector (5) with the symbol.
•
Fit an appropriate chisel bit into the chuck.
•
Drilling concrete
Using hammer drill mode, apply pressure to the rear of the drill, in line
•
with the drill bit.
For efficient drilling, it is advisable to use TCT (tungsten carbide tipped)
•
drill bits. Ensure that the bit size is within the maximum capacity of the
machine (see specifications).
Do not apply excessive pressure. If debris blocks the drill hole, run the
•
drill slowly and remove the bit from the hole. Repeat until hole is cleared.
Drilling wood
Use rotary drilling mode only.
•
Ensure that drill bits are suitable for wood, and are within the maximum
•
capacity of this machine (see specifications above).
Drilling metal
To ensure accuracy, mark the intended hole position using a hammer
•
and centre punch.
Use rotary drill mode only.
•
Ensure that drill bits are suitable for the grade of metal being drilled, and are
•
within the maximum capacity of the machine (see specifications above).
To ensure efficient cutting, and prolong drill bit life, use a suitable
•
lubricant or cutting fluid, and drill at moderate speed.
Chiselling
Using chisel mode, apply pressure to the rear of the drill, in line with the
•
chisel bit.
Be aware that when chiselling, there is a high risk of chips, and other
•
waste, being ejected from the work.
Using the three jaw chuck accessory
The drill is supplied with a three jaw chuck (8), and SDS adaptor (9). This
•
allows conventional drill bits to be used with your SDS drill.
The SDS adaptor (9) fits into the drill chuck in the same manner as an
•
SDS drill bit.
The 3 jaw chuck (8) is a screw fit onto the adaptor.
•
Do not attempt to use hammer mode with the 3 jaw chuck. This could
