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) and touch 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.

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.

 Operation

Danger
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 and hold the operating switch (4).
To switch off : Let go of the operating 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)

• For hammer drilling, press the button (E) on the rotary switch (3) and simultaneously turn the rotary switch (3) to position A.
• For chiseling, press the button (E) on the rota-ry switch (3) and simultaneously turn the rotary switch (3) to position B. In switch position B the chisel is not locked.
• For chiseling, press the button (E) on the rotary switch (3) and simultaneously turn the rotary switch (3) to position C. The chisel is locked in position C.

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.

Notice
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 a special power cable which is available from the manufacturer or its after- sales service.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

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

Cleaning
