1050W PERCUSSION DRILL TTB085DRL
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help
reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive
requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test
results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power
tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:
Work mode description 1
(Vibration for Drill )
Vibration emission value ah = 3.11m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
Work mode description 2
(Vibration for Impact Drilling) Vibration emission value ah = 17.36m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level should be
used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE
website has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
Warning:
The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool
can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is
used:-
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good
condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequate-
ly managed
Warning:
identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on
an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of
all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and
when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).Note The use of other tools will
reduce the users’ total working period on this tool.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR HAMMER DRILL
1. Always wear ear protectors with impact drill. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
2. Always wear eye protectors when using this impact drill.
3. Always use the auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
4. Always check walls and ceiling to avoid hidden power cables and pipes. A metal
detector can be obtained from any good DIY store for this purpose.
5. Do not start the drill with the chuck key in chuck.
6. Make sure the power switch is not “on” before you plug in. Always switch off before
you put your drill down.
7. Hold your impact drill firmly in both hands.
8. Make sure drill bits are tightened securely in chuck.
9. Do not use damaged or worn drill bits.
10. Use clamps or a vice to hold workpiece, if possible.
11. Always use the appropriate safety equipment that is required for the product. e.g.
Goggles / Safety Spectacles, Ear defenders (essential with tools with a noise rating of
over 85 dBA), Gloves and face masks. In all cases ensure that the safety equipment is
in good condition.
12.Ensure that if a side handle or auxiliary handle is provided with the power tool then
this is adjusted into a comfortable position and that both handles are used to securely
grip the power tool when in use. Side or auxiliary handle must be fitted and used.
13.The Front and rear handle must be firmly held to resist any movement of the drill
when the drill or drill bit becomes jammed.
14. ALWAYS use this drill when standing on a firm and secure platform or the
ground.(DO NOT USE ON LADDERS OR STEPS)
15. NEVER Start the Drill with the drill jammed in position.
16. DO NOT stretch to hold the drill. Do not drill above shoulder height or below Knee
height, as the drill cannot be securely held.
17. This unit is not suitable for use with TCT Core Drill bits and Diamond Core drill bits
and diamond drill bits.
