Safety Instructions
WARNING!
Read all instructions Failure to follow all in
structions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term
"power tool" in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool.
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before plugging
in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
Safety Instructions
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for
the particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work
to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Additional safety instructions for your drill
1.Always wear ear protectors with electric 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.
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 bit 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.
Double insulation
The tool is double insulated. This means
that all the external metal parts are
electrically insulated from the mains power
supply. This is done by placing insulation
barriers between the electrical and
mechanical components making it
unnecessary for the tool to be earthed.
Important note
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the
same as your tool rating plate voltage.
Remove the mains plug from socket before
carrying out any adjustment or servicing.
