Instruction & User Manual

TOOL SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Safety instructions for all operations

m

Wear ear protectors when impact 
drilling. 

Exposure to noise can cause 

hearing loss.

m

Use the auxiliary handle(s). 

Loss of 

control can cause personal injury.

m

Hold the power tool by insulated 
gripping surfaces, when performing 
an operation where the cutting 
accessory or fasteners may contact 
hidden wiring. 

Cutting accessory 

contacting a “live” wire may make exposed 
metal parts of the power tool “live” and 
could give the operator an electric shock.

2. Safety instructions when using drill 
bits

m

Never operate at higher speed than 
the maximum speed rating of the 
drill bit. 

At higher speeds, the bit is likely 

to bend if allowed to rotate freely without 
contacting the workpiece, resulting in 
personal injury.

m

Use a detector to locate lines in walls 
with concealed electric, water or gas 
lines. Avoid touching live components 
or conductors.

 Inadvertant contact with 

hidden items may cause serious injury or 
damage to the tool.

m

Always start drilling at low speed 
and with the bit tip in contact with 
the workpiece. 

At higher speeds, the bit 

is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely 
without contacting the workpiece, resulting 
in personal injury.

m

Apply pressure only in direct line with 
the bit and do not apply excessive 
pressure. 

Bits can bend causing breakage 

or loss of control, resulting in personal 
injury.

3. Safety instructions when using 
hammer mode

m

Keep exposure to vibrations as short 
as possible. When carrying out work, 
always hold the hammer with both 
hands and ensure that you have a 
stable standing position.

Vibrations can 

injure the nerves in hands & arms.
