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

Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged 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 6)

For safety reasons you must only use the hammer drill with the additional handle.
The additional handle (6) enables you to achieve better stability whilst using the hammer drill. The machine must not be used without the additional handle (6) for safety reasons.
The additional handle (6) is secured to the hammer drill by a clamp. Turning the handle anti-clockwise (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 (6) into the most comfortable working position for you. Now turn the additional handle in the opposite direction again until the additional handle is secure.

Depth stop (Fig. 3 – Item 7)

The depth stop (7) is held in place with the locking screw (a) on the additional handle (6) by means of a clamp.

Undo the locking screw (a) and fit the depth stop (7).
Set the depth stop (7) to the same level as the drill bit.
Pull the depth stop (7) back by the required drilling depth.
Retighten the locking screw (a).
Now drill the hole until the depth stop (7) touches the workpiece.

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.

Dust collection device (Fig. 6)

Slide the dust collection device (a) over the drill bit before carrying out any hammer drilling vertically above your head.

Starting up

Important.
To prevent all danger, the machine must only be held using the two handles (6/8). Otherwise there may be a risk of suffering an electric shock if you drill into cables.

Switching on and off (Fig. 1)

To switch on:
Press the control switch (4).
To switch off:
Release the control switch (4).

Hammer stop facility (Fig. 7)

The hammer drill has a hammer stop facility for gentle initial drilling.

Turn the rotary switch for the hammer stop facility (5) to position (B) to switch off the hammer facility.
To switch on the hammer facility again the rotary switch for the hammer stop facility (5) must be turned back to position (A).

Rotation stop facility (Fig. 8 / 9)

The rotation function of the hammer drill can be switched off for chiseling jobs.

To do this, press the button (C) on the rotary switch (3) whilst at the same time turning the rotary switch (3) into position A (see Fig. 8).
To switch on the rotation facility again, press button (C) on the rotary switch (3) whilst at the same time turning the rotary switch (3) into position B (see Fig. 9).

Important.
Please note that it is not possible to operate the hammer drill with the hammer stop and rotation stop facilities both active at the same time.
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.
