• When using an SDS drill outdoors, an RCD device must be used either
by connecting to a socket which incorporates an RCD, or through use
of an inline RCD
• Ensure that the chisel or drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck before
operating the tool. Insecure drill bits can be ejected from the machine,
causing a hazard
• Ensure lighting is adequate
• Use both hands when operating this tool
• Do not place pressure on the tool. To do so could shorten its service life
• Drill bits become hot during operation. Allow to cool prior to handling
• If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process
and switch off before diverting your attention elsewhere
• Always disconnect the SDS drill from the electric supply before
changing a chisel or drill bit
• Examine the SDS chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have
damaged parts repaired by a qualified service centre
• Always wait until the drill has come to a complete stop before placing
it down
• On completion of the work, disconnect the tool from the power source
and remove the chisel/bit from the machine
• Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where
necessary
• Visibly check the tool after use, especially the power cable, which can
be damaged by sharp masonry
• Always fit the dust guard to the bit in use to prevent damage from
debris entering the SDS chuck
• If operating the tool causes discomfort in any way, stop immediately
and review your method of use
Additional Safety for Battery-
Operated Drills
WARNING!
- Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
- Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and give the operator an electric shock.
a) DO NOT allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool. Ensure
that operators are qualified and familiar with the operating and safety
instructions.
b) Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply
and charger are protected against moisture at all times.
c) When using the drill, use safety equipment including safety glasses
or shield, ear defenders, and protective clothing including safety
gloves. Wear respiratory protection suitable for the work being undertaken.
A minimum rating of FFP2 is recommended. If operating the tool causes
discomfort in any way, stop immediately and review your method of use.
d) Use metal and voltage detectors to locate concealed electric, water or
gas lines. Avoid touching live components or conductors.
e) Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
f) Ensure that the drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck. Insecure drill bits
can be ejected from the machine causing a hazard.
g) Ensure that the drill bit is not in contact with the workpiece prior to
starting up the tool.
h) Before drilling, check that there is sufficient clearance for the drill bit
under the workpiece.
i) DO NOT excert pressure on to the tool. To do so would shorten its service
life.
j) Drill bits get hot during operation, allow to cool prior to handling
them.
k) NEVER use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by
the bit.
l) If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process
and switch off before looking up.
m) Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
n) Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have
damaged parts repaired by a qualified service centre.
o) ALWAYS wait until the drill has come to a complete stop before
putting it down.
p) Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where
necessary.
Battery Safety
WARNING: Li-Ion batteries, if incorrectly used, stored or charged are a
fire, burn and explosion hazard.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children
• ONLY charge Li-Ion batteries using the charger provided or designed
specifically for your product
• ONLY use Li-Ion batteries provided with a product or specifically designed
to be compatible
• Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire
• When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature
(approximately 20˚C)
• Ensure that battery contacts cannot accidentally short in storage. Keep
batteries clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short. Keep away from
other metal objects, for example, paperclips, coins, keys, nails and screws
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. This
liquid may cause skin irritation or burns. Avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical
help
• DO NOT open, disassemble, crush, heat above 60°C or incinerate. Do not
dispose of in fire or similar
Battery Charger Safety
Use the battery charger correctly
• Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger
before attempting to charge the battery.
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those
supplied. Keep your battery charger clean; foreign objects or dirt may
cause a short or block air vents. Failure to follow these instructions may
cause overheating or fire
• 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
• Examine the battery charger regularly for damage, especially the cord, plug
and enclosure. If the battery charger is damaged, it must not be used until
it has been repaired
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Battery and charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features which may
be triggered during charging or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when
the battery has reached full charge capacity, protecting the internal
components of the battery
• Over-discharge protection: Prevents the battery from discharging beyond
the recommended lowest safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off if the battery becomes too
hot during operation. This can happen if the tool is overloaded or being
used for extended periods of time. Up to 30 minutes cooling time may be
required depending on the ambient temperature
