RYOBI RSDS18X-0 Rotary Hammer Drill Instruction Manual

RSDS18X

Important! It is essential that you read the instructions in this manual before assembling, maintaining and operating the product.

Subject to technical modification

Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of your rotary hammer drill.

INTENDED USE

The rotary hammer drill is intended to be used only by adults who have read and understood the instructions and warnings in this manual, and can be considered responsible for their actions.

The rotary hammer drill is designed to operate without hammer function into wood and metal. For chiselling and masonry drilling, the hammer mode may be used.

The rotary hammer drill is designed to operate with drill bits up to the maximum diameter defined in the product specifications. The product is intended for consumer use only.

Do not use the product for any other purpose. Use of the product for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

ROTARY HAMMER DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring.

Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING LONG DRILL BITS WITH ROTARY HAMMERS

• Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
• Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

• Clamp workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
• When working in walls, ceiling, or floor, take care to avoid electric cables and gas or waterpipes.
• Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
• Dust created by operating the product can cause respiratory injury. Wear appropriate dust control mask with filters suitable for protecting against particles from the material being worked on.
• The product will restart automatically if stalled. Switch off the product immediately if it stalls. Do not switch on the product again while it is still stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why the product stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions.
• Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between 0 °C and 40° C.
• Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0 °C and 40° C.
• The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is between 10 °C and 38° C.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

• To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
• Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between 0°C and 40°C.
• Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and 20°C.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national provisions and regulations.

Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that no batteries can come in contact with other batteries or conductive materials while in transport by protecting exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further advice.

MAINTENANCE

• The product should never be connected to a power supply when assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product is not in use. Disconnecting the product from the power supply will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
• When servicing, use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts, accessories and attachments. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
• Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
• For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by an authorised service centre.

WARNING
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ.

These conditions may significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
