GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Read and understand all instructions before
operating this product. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire and / or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING! When using electric tools basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and personal injury including the following:
Read all these instructions before attempting to operate this
product and save these instructions.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
CAUTION! This is a very powerful machine. When using this drill
it is essential that the following rules are followed.
1. When drilling it is common that the drill bit jams in the material
being drilled. This will result in the drill trying to rotate around the
drill bit and potentially to come out of your grip. This SDS drill has
a safety clutch mechanism. This safety clutch mechanism will be
activated and stop the drive to the drill, BUT only if you resist the
initial forces caused by the jamming, by securely holding the drill
with BOTH hands.
As this is a powerful machine, these forces are significant.
2. ALWAYS ensure that the front handle is firmly fixed in place
and secure.
3. The front and rear handles must be firmly held to resist
any movement of the drill when the drill or drill bit becomes
jammed.
4. ALWAYS use the drill when standing on a firm and secure
platform or on the ground. (DO NOT USE ON LADDERS OR
STEPS)
5. NEVER start the drill with the drill bit jammed in position.
6. DO NOT stretch to hold the drill. Do not drill above shoulder height
or below knee height, as the drill cannot be securely held.
7. This machine is not suitable for use with TCT core drill bits,
diamond core drill bits, and diamond drill bits.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury.
Please read all of these instructions before attempting to
operate this machine. Save this manual for future reference.
1. Keep work area clear. Cluttered work areas invite accidents.
2. Consider work area environment. Do not expose tools to
rain. Do not use tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area
well lit. Never use tools near flammable liquids or gases.
3. Protect yourself against electric shock. Avoid body contact
with earthed or grounded surfaces.
4. Keep other people away. Do not let others, especially
children, come close to the work, and touch the tool or the
extension lead. Keep them away from the work area.
5. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in a
dry locked-up place, out of children's reach.
6. Never force the tools. Your tools will be more efficient and safer
when used at the rate for which they were intended.
7. Use the right tool. Do not force small tools to do the job of a
heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not intended; for
example do not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry
which may get caught in moving parts. Non-skid footwear is
recommended when working outdoors. If you have long hair, tie
it back and wear protective hair covering.
9. Use protective equipment. Use safety glasses.
Use face or dust mask if cutting operations create dust.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment. If the machines have
a connection for dust extraction equipment, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
11. Do not damage the cable. Never pull the power cable to
disconnect the machine. Keep the cable away from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
12. Secure workpiece. Where possible, use clamps or a vice to
hold the workpiece. It's much safer than using your hands.
13. Don't over reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
14. Maintain tools in good working condition.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better performance and
optimum safety. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect power cables regularly and, if damaged, have
them replaced by an authorised service centre. Inspect extension
cables regularly and replace immediately if damaged. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease at all times.
15. Disconnect tools. Disconnect tools from the power supply when
not in use, before any maintenance operation and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
16. Remove adjusting keys and spanners. Get into the
habit of checking that adjusting keys and spanners have been
removed from the machine before turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure switch is in "off"
position before plugging in the machine.
18. Use proper extension leads. When the tool is used
outdoors, use only extension leads intended for outdoor use
and labelled as such.
19. Stay alert. Concentrate on what you are doing, use common
sense and do not operate the tool when you are tired.
20. Check that no part is damaged. Before using a tool, make sure
that it is in good working order. Check the alignment and condition
of moving parts, mounting and any other aspect that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre unless
otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Do not use the tool if
the switch does not turn on and off.
21. Warning. The use of any accessory or attachment other
than one recommended in this instruction manual may present
a risk of personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired at an authorised service centre.
This electric tool complies with current safety rules. Repairs
