: It is imperative to follow all national safety
regulations concerning installation, operation and maintenance
• Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this
tool, and ensure that operators are qualified and familiar with
the operating and safety instructions
• When using the drill, use safety equipment including safety
glasses or shield, ear defenders, and protective clothing
including safety gloves. Wear a dust mask if the drilling
operation creates dust
• Use metal and voltage detectors to locate concealed electric,
water or gas lines. Avoid touching live components or
conductors
• Extension cable reels used with this tool must be completely
unwound. Minimum conductor cross section: 1.0mm2
• When using this tool outdoors, connect to a power supply
with an RCD device and minimum 1.5mm2 extension cable
with water protected plugs in good working order
• Ensure that the chisel or drill bit is securely fixed in the
chuck. Insecure drill bits can be ejected from the machine
causing a hazard
• Ensure that the lighting is adequate
• Ensure that the drill bit is in contact with the workpiece prior
to starting up the tool
• Before drilling, check that there is sufficient clearance for the
drill bit under the workpiece
• Use both hands when operating this tool
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool
• Do not put pressure on the tool, to do so would shorten its
service life
• Drill bits get hot during operation, allow to cool prior to
handling them
• Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste
close by the bit
• If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the
process and switch off before looking up
• Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work
• Always disconnect the hammer drill from the electric supply
before changing a chisel or drill bit
• Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage.
Have damaged parts repaired by a qualified service centre
• Always wait until the drill has come to a complete stop
before putting it down
• On completion of the work, disconnect the tool from the
power source and remove chisel/bit from the machine
• Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten
where necessary
Intended Use
Portable light duty corded power drill suitable for drilling a wide
range of materials, including masonry when using the hammer
mode function.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise
yourself with all its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good
condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such
parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
Auxiliary handle
• The Auxiliary Handle (11) should always be used
when drilling
• Always hold the drill firmly using both hands
• The Auxiliary Handle can be adjusted to best suit the work to
be performed
• To adjust the Auxiliary Handle partially undo the Auxiliary
Handle Knob (12). This will loosen the handle assembly. Move
the Auxiliary Handle to the required position, and secure by
re-tightening the Auxiliary
Handle Knob
Depth Stop
• The Depth Stop (2) is used to set the drill depth of a drill
bit. It can be adjusted so that when the drill bit reaches
the correct depth in the material the end of the Depth Stop
touches the surface of the material being drilled. The Depth
Stop has measurement graduations along its length for
setting the correct depth
• To adjust the position of the Depth Stop loosen the Depth
Knob (3) and position the Depth Stop at the required position
then re-tighten the Depth Knob
