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 dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards
Power Tool Use & 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 and/or the battery pack from the
power tool 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 tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly 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, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation
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 for SDS Drills
• Important: It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning the type of
work being undertaken, 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
• Masonry drilling or chiselling can create sharp particles that will impact the operator.
Wear impact-resistant safety glasses and protective clothing, including safety boots
• Core drills should only be used with SDS drills featuring a safety clutch to prevent
jamming, which could cause an injury to the operator
• If the safety clutch disengages the drive during use, quickly release the trigger and
remove the core drill or bit from the masonry surface being drilled. Do not continue
operation until the cause of the disengagement is understood
• Do not operate SDS drills whilst up a ladder or in any location where there is a risk of
falling. SDS drills are heavy and produce strong vibration and high torque in use
• Wear suitable protective anti-vibration gloves that are non-fabric or coated fabric
to prevent loose strands of material catching in the rotating drill bit. Discard gloves
immediately if material is visibly frayed
• Drilling can produce large volumes of dust and debris that may be toxic. Wear
respiratory protection suitable for the work being undertaken. A minimum rating of
FFP2 is recommended
• SDS drills produce high volumes of noise and suitable ear protection must be worn at all
times while operating the tool
• SDS drills produce a very high level of vibration when operating in hammer or chisel
mode. Frequent breaks are advised
• 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: 1.25mm2
• Extension reels used outside should be designed for outdoor use and should feature
water-protected sockets and correct cable insulation
• When using an SDS drill outdoors, an RCD device must be used either by connecting to
a socket which incorporates an RCD, or through use of an inline RCD
• Ensure that the chisel or drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck before operating the tool.
Insecure drill bits can be ejected from the machine, causing a hazard
• Ensure lighting is adequate
• Use both hands when operating this tool
• Always use the auxiliary handle supplied with the tool
• Do not place pressure on the tool - to do so could shorten its service life
• Drill bits become hot during operation. Allow to cool prior to handling
• If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process and switch off
before diverting your attention elsewhere

drill bit
