SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Read the enclosed safety warnings, the additional safety warnings and the instructions. Failure to follow the safety warnings and the instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save the safety warnings and the instructions for future reference.
The following symbols are used in the user manual or on the product:

• Read the user manual.
• Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in case of non-observance of the instructions in this manual.
• Risk of electric shock
• Immediately remove the mains plug from the mains if the mains cable becomes damaged and during cleaning and maintenance.
• Always wear eye protection!
• Wear hearing protection.
• Wear a dust mask.
• Wear safety gloves.
• Do not dispose of the product in unsuitable containers.
• Variable electronic speed
• The product is in accordance with the applicable safety standards in the European directives.

Additional safety warnings for rotary hammers

• 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 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 could 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 voltage of the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate label.
• Class II machine – Double insulation – You don’t need any earthed plug.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Replacement of power cords or plugs
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
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 mm2. Whenever using a reel extension lead, always fully unroll the lead.

Immediately switch off the machine when:

• Excessive sparking of the carbon brushes.
• Interruption of the mains plug, mains lead or mains lead damage.
• Defect switch.
• Smoke or stench of scorched isolation.

MACHINE INFORMATION

Intended use
This rotary hammer is intended for drilling holes in masonry such as brick, concrete and similar material. Furthermore, the machine can be used as a demolition hammer. The machine is on no account intended for other purposes.

Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated in this instruction manual has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN60745. It may be used to compare one tool with another and as a preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when using the tool for the applications mentioned.

• Using the tool for different applications, or with different or poorly maintained accessories, may significantly increase the exposure level.
• The times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job, may significantly reduce the exposure level.

Protect yourself against the effects of vibration by maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping your hands warm and organizing your work patterns.

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. It also may happen the drill bit deforms and cannot be removed from the machine again.

Side handle
Fig. A

The side handle (6) can be rotated 360° 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 desired position.
• Retighten the handgrip in the new position by turning it clockwise.

Exchanging and removing drill bits Fig. A – B

  * Before exchanging bits, first remove the power plug from the wall socket.
  * Inspect bits regularly during use. Blunt bits should be re-sharpened or replaced.
  * Lightly oil the bit shaft before inserting it into the chuck.

• SDS drills can be inserted by pushing the drill into the chuck until a click can be heard. If needed rotate the SDS drill a little to ensure the keyway in the bit fits the chuck well.
  DO NOT slide the locking sleeve (7) to the rear when inserting bits.

• To remove the SDS drill, slide the locking sleeve (7) to the rear and remove the SDS drill while keeping the sleeve (7) in this position.

Setting depth stop Fig. A

• The depth stop ruler can be added to the side handle by turning the depth stop knob (9) counter-clockwise.
• Insert the depth stop ruler (8) through the hole on the side handle ring.
• Slide the ruler to the desired depth.
• Tighten the depth stop knob (9).

The On/Off switch Fig. A

• Switch the machine on by pressing the On/Off switch (2). When releasing the On/Off switch (2) the machine will turn off.

• Variable speed control (3)
  Fig. A
  
  The required speed can be preselected with the thumbwheel. Also during running the rotational speed can be adjusted.

  • 1 – 2 = low speed
  • 3 – 4 = medium speed
  • 5 – 6 = high speed
  • Max = maximum speed

The required speeds depends on the material and can be determined by practical testing.

Function selection switch
In order to avoid damage to the machine, adjusting the function selection switch (5) shall only be done when machine is not running.
Fig. C

Fig. D
The correct position of the function selection switch (5) for each function is shown in the pictures in fig. D. Always make sure the function switch clicks in the desired position.

• A) Hammer Drilling (with hammer function): for drilling in masonry such as brick, concrete and similar material.
• B) Chisel angle adjustment: for changing the angle of the chisel. When set under right angle switch back to position
• C) Chipping (chisel function): for chipping and small demolition jobs.
• D. before using the tool.

User tips
Always use the machine with the side handle firmly anchored in place – you will not only work with more comfort, you will also work with more precision.

Caution: drills and chisels can get very hot.

• Hammer drilling (Function A)

  • For large holes, for instance in very hard concrete, start using a smaller bit for pilot drilling first, then drill to nominal size.
  • Hold the machine firmly with 2 hands. Be aware the drill can jam and because of that machine might suddenly turn (especially when drilling deep holes).
  • Do not apply a lot of pressure on the machine, let the machine do the work.

• Chipping in concrete and brick (Function B & C)

  • It’s also possible to use the machine for chipping.
    Only change the function when the motor has come to a standstill.

  • Do not apply a lot of pressure on the machine, let the machine do the work.

MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the machine and remove the mains plug from the mains.

Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that the ventilation openings are free of dust and dirt. Remove very persistent dirt using a soft cloth moistened with soapsuds. Do not use any solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia etc. Chemicals such as these will damage the synthetic components.
Defects
The machine should be regularly inspected for the following possible defects and repaired if necessary.

• Damage to power cord.
• Broken on/off trigger assembly.
• Short circuiting.
• Damaged moving parts.

Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please contact your seller or the service address on the warranty card. Separate you find an exploded view showing the parts that can be ordered.

Carbon brush indicator
Fig. A

If the carbon brushes are worn, the carbon brush indicator (4) will come on. The carbon brushes must be replaced by the customer service department of the manufacturer or a similarly qualified person.

WARRANTY
The warranty conditions can be found on the separately enclosed warranty card.

ENVIRONMENT
Faulty and/or discarded electrical or electronic apparatus have to be collected at the appropriate recycling locations.

Only for EC countries
Do not dispose of power tools into domestic waste. According to the European Guideline 2012/19/EC for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national right, power tools that are no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
