HAMMER DRILL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Only use the hammer drill in the manner and for the functions described in
these instructions.
2.
Using the correct bit.
Use the appropriate drill bit for the material being
drilled. Different bits are available from your Clarke dealer.
3.
Use of the mains cable.
Keep the mains cable well away from the drill and
ensure an adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the
operation is not restricted by the length of the cable.
4.
Working on the bench.
Allow sufficient clearance beneath the work to
ensure the drill bit does not come into contact with the floor, table etc.
5.
Switching off.
Never place the drill on a table or bench if it has not
completely stopped. The drill bit will continue to rotate for a short time
after the trigger has been released to stop the drill.
6.
Drilling into walls.
Do not
drill into walls or cavities before checking for
hidden electrical wires or water pipes etc.
7.
Finishing drilling.
Do not touch the drill bit immediately after use. Allow
time for it to cool.
8.
Use outdoor extension leads.
If working outdoors, always use an approved
cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see
specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as
that on the machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind
the cable completely. We strongly recommend that this machine is
connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
9.
Cooling agents.
When drilling metals, always use a cooling agent i.e.
cutting/soluble oil.
Additionally, please keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
