Need help?Do you have a question about the Powerplus POW30540 and is the answer not in the manual?
This manual describes the Powerplus POW30540 Electric Hammer Drill, a versatile 3-in-1 tool designed for various drilling tasks. It is intended for hammer drilling in concrete, brick, and stone, as well as drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic, and plastic. With electronic control and right/left rotation, it is also suitable for screw driving. The device is not designed for commercial use.
The Powerplus POW30540 is an electric hammer drill that combines three functions: hammer drilling, regular drilling, and screw driving. Its primary function is hammer drilling, which is ideal for tough materials like concrete, brick, and stone. For softer materials such as wood, metal, ceramic, and plastic, the tool can be used for drilling without impact. The electronic control and forward/reverse rotation capability also make it suitable for driving and removing screws.
The tool features an SDS-plus chuck, which allows for simple and convenient changing of drilling tools without the need for additional tools. This chuck is designed to accommodate SDS-Plus drilling tools, which move freely at no-load. This free movement does not affect the accuracy of the drill hole, as the drill bit centers itself during drilling. The SDS-Plus tool holder can also be used with different drill-bit types that have a hexagon shank. For other bits, a keyless chuck with SDS-Plus can be utilized.
The hammer function selector allows the user to switch between different drilling modes. The forward/reverse knob controls the rotation direction of the chuck, enabling clockwise rotation for drilling and driving screws, and counter-clockwise rotation for removing screws. An On/Off switch with a lock button provides continuous operation for extended periods when needed.
Before using the appliance, it is crucial to read the manual and general safety instructions carefully. The working area should be kept clean, well-lit, and free from children and bystanders to prevent accidents. Electrical safety is paramount; always ensure the power supply matches the voltage on the rating plate and avoid using damaged cords. Personal safety measures include wearing eye protection, using a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection as needed. It is important to stay alert, avoid operating the tool when tired or under the influence of substances, and dress properly by avoiding loose clothing or jewelry that could get entangled.
The drill's forward/reverse selector is located above the switch trigger. To make the drill rotate clockwise for drilling or driving screws, push the switch to the left. For removing screws, push it to the right. It is critical never to change the position of the forward/reverse switch while the chuck is turning, as this can damage the machine. The trigger switch will not function if the forward/reverse switch is in the middle position.
The trigger switch features a lock-on button for continuous operation. To lock the switch in the ON position, pull the trigger fully back to operate the drill at full speed, then push the lock-on button into the drill handle. The drill will continue to run. To release the lock, pull the trigger switch back again and then release it.
The drill/hammer control allows switching between conventional drilling and hammer drilling for concrete. To change from drilling mode to hammer mode, push the end of the drill/hammer control knob inward and rotate it 180° to the hammer mode. Reverse the procedure to switch back to drilling mode. When the knob reaches the desired position, release the end and move it back and forth slightly until it locks into position. It is essential to change the operating mode only when the machine is switched off to prevent damage.
The speed/impact rate of the switched-on power tool can be variably adjusted by how far the On/Off switch is pressed. Light pressure results in a low speed/impact rate, while further pressure increases it. When drilling at a slow speed for an extended period, the drill motor may overheat. If this occurs, stop drilling and allow the tool to cool for at least 15 minutes.
For inserting SDS-Plus drilling tools, clean and lightly grease the shank end of the tool, then insert it into the tool holder in a twisting manner until it latches. Always check the latching by pulling the tool. To remove SDS-Plus drilling tools, push back the locking sleeve and then remove the tool.
Before performing any maintenance work, always pull the power plug to ensure safety. Keeping the ventilation slots of the tool clean is crucial to prevent the engine from overheating. The tool housing should be regularly cleaned with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Ensure the ventilation slots are free from dust and dirt. If dirt does not come off easily, use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, or ammonia water, as these can damage the plastic parts of the device.
For service, any damaged switches must be replaced by an authorized after-sales service department. If the connecting cable or mains plug is damaged, it must be replaced by a special connecting cable available from the service department or by a qualified electrician.
When storing the tool, thoroughly clean it and its accessories. Store it out of the reach of children, in a stable and secure position, in a cool and dry place, avoiding excessively high or low temperatures. Protect it from direct sunlight and keep it in the dark if possible. Avoid storing it in plastic bags to prevent humidity build-up.
In terms of environmental responsibility, if the appliance needs replacement after extended use, it should not be discarded with household rubbish. Instead, dispose of it in an environmentally safe way. Waste produced by electrical machine items should be recycled where facilities exist. Consult your local authority or retailer for recycling advice.
