Specific safety instructions

For use of this machine/tool:
• Inspect the surface to be drilled for hidden
electrical wiring, gas pipes or other obstacles
(for example, using a metal detector).
• Check the following points:
• Does the appliance's voltage correspond
with the mains power supply voltage?
• Are power cords, insulation and plug in
good order: sound, not loose or damaged?
• Is there a good, firm connection at the
mains socket?
• Does the drill show any sign of abnormal
running, overheating or excessive sparking?
• Whenever any of the problems mentioned
above appear, immediately cease using the
machine and have it repaired by an expert.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and give the operator an electric shock.
Electrical safety
When using electric machines always observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury. Read the following safety instructions and
also the enclosed safety instructions.
Always check that the mains voltage is
the same as on the type plate of the
machine.

You don't need any earthed plug.
Replacement of power cords or plugs
Immediately dispose of old cords and plugs once
they have been replaced.
It is dangerous to plug a loose power cord into a
mains power socket.
use of extension leads
Only ever use approved extension leads that are
suitable for the power rating of the machine. The
minimum core thickness is 1.5 mm
using a reel extension lead, always fully unroll the
lead.
Immediately switch off the machine when:
• Excessive sparking of the carbon brushes and
verticiliosis in the collector.
• Interruption of the mains plug, mains lead or
mains lead damage.
• Defect switch
• Smoke or stench of scorched isolation

3. OPERATIng

Hammer drills require very little operator
pressure. Excessive pressure on the tool
can lead to unnecessary overheating of
the motor, and burning of the driven tool.
Auxiliary handgrip
The auxiliary handgrip can be rotated 360º
around the drill head, enabling safe and
comfortable operation, for both left and right-
handed users.
• Loosen the handgrip by turning it
anticlockwise.
• Rotate the handgrip to the desire position.
• Retighten the handgrip in the new position.
