KpA uncertainty : 3 dB
LWA sound power level : 107.87 dB(A)
KWA uncertainty : 3 dB

The hammer drill is not designed for outdoors use as specified I Article 3 of Directive 2000/14/ EC_2005/88/EC

Wear ear-muffs.
The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing.

Total vibration values (vector sum of three directions) determined in accordance with EN 60745.

Impact drilling in concrete (handle)
Vibration emission value ah,HD = 17.07 m/s2 Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s2

Impact drilling in concrete (additional handle)
Vibration emission value ah,HD = 8.422 m/s2
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s2

Chiseling (handle)
Vibration emission value ah,CH = 19.280 m/s2
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s2

Chiseling (additional handle)
Vibration emission value ah,CH = 15.518 m/s2
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s

The specified vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equipment is used and may exceed the specified value in exceptional circumstances.

The specified vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools

The specified vibration value can be used for initial assessment of a harmful effect.

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

• Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
• Service and clean the appliance regularly.
• Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.

Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a pro longed period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

Check the drilling point for concealed electrical cables, gas and water pipes using a cable/pipe detector.

Additional handle (Fig. 2 – Item 3) For safety reasons you must only use the hammer drill with the additional handle.

The additional handle (3) enables you to achieve better stability whilst using the hammer drill. The machine must not be used without the additional handle (3) for safety reasons. The additional handle (3) is secured to the hammer drill by a clamp. Turning the handle anticlockwise (looking from the handle) will release the clamp. Turning the handle clockwise will tighten the clamp. First release the additional handle clamp. You can then swing the additional handle (3) into the most comfortable working position for you. Now turn the additional handle in the opposite direction again until the additional handle is secure.

Tool insertion (Fig. 4)

• Clean the tool before insertion and apply a thin coating of drill bit grease to the shaft of the tool.
• Pull back and hold the locking sleeve (2).
• Insert the dust-free tool into the tool mounting as far as it will go whilst turning it. The tool will lock itself.
• Check that it is properly secure by pulling the tool.

Tool removal (Fig. 5)
Pull back and hold the locking sleeve (2) and remove the tool.

Operation

Danger!
To avoid danger, the machine is allowed to be held only by the two handles (3/7)! Otherwise you may suffer an electric shock if you drill into electric cables!

Switching On and Off (Fig. 5)
Switching on:
Press the On/Off switch (6)

Continuous operation:
Secure the On/Off switch (6) with the On/Off switch lock (5).

Switching off:
Press the On/Off switch (6) briefly or let it go

Speed control (Fig. 5/Item 8)
The machine is equipped with electronic speed control. You can preselect the speed by turning the speed controller (8):

Plus direction: Higher speed
Minus direction: Lower speed

Selector switch for impact drilling / chiseling (Fig. 6)

• For hammer drilling, press the button (E) on the rotary switch (4) and simultaneously turn the rotary switch (4) to position A.
• For chiseling, press the button (E) on the rotary switch (4) and simultaneously turn the rotary switch (4) to position B. In switch position B the chisel is not locked.
• For chiseling, press the button (E) on the rotary switch (4) and simultaneously turn the rotary switch (4) to position C. The chisel is locked in position C.

Important.
Only low pressure is required for hammer drilling. Excessive pressure will exert an unnecessary force on the motor. Check the drill bits at regular intervals. Sharpen or replace blunt drill bits.

Replacing the power cable

Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a qualified electrician. Danger! The carbon brushes should not be rep laced by anyone but a qualified electrician.

Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

Ordering replacement parts:
Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:

• Type of machine
• Article number of the machine
• Identification number of the machine
• Replacement part number of the part required
