instruction book carefully.

Intended Use

This tool is intended for hammer drilling in concrete, brick 
and stone. It is also suitable for drilling without impact in 
wood, metal, ceramic and plastic.

1. ADJUSTING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE (SEE A)

For your personal safety we recommend using the auxiliary 
handle at all times.
To adjust the handle, loosen the bottom of the handle anti-
clockwise and rotate the handle around the handle collar 
until the handle is in the desired position. Tighten fully.

2. FITTING SDS+ DRILL BIT (not supplied) 
(See B)

Clean and lightly oil the drill bit before inserting. Insert the drill 
bit with a twisting motion until it latches. The drill bit locks 
itself. Check the drill bit is locked in place by pulling on it.

WARNING! Do not need press chuck 
locking sleeve when you insert drill bit 

into SDS+ chuck.

3. REMOVE SDS+ DRILL BIT (See C)

Pull the Chuck Locking Sleeve in the direction of arrow,  
then hold the drill bit and remove it from SDS+ chuck.

4. USE KEY CHUCK WITH SDS+ ADAPTOR 
(Not supplied)(See D)

To work with tool without SDS+ shank, a suitable key chuck 
with SDS+ adaptor must be used.
Inserting/Removing key chuck with SDS+ adaptor is the 
same operation as SDS+ drill bit.

5. OPERATING THE SAFETY ON/OFF 
SWITCH (SEE E)

Press the On/Off Switch in for operation, release the switch 
to stop.

6. SWITCH LOCK-ON BUTTON 

Depress the On/Off Switch then the Lock On Button(6). Your 
switch is now locked on for continuous use. To switch off 
your tool just depress and release the On/Off Switch.

7. FUNCTION MODE SELECTION 

The operation of the gearbox for each application is set with 
the Function Mode Selection Switch. To change between 

functions,  rotate the Function Mode Selection Switch to the 
desired operating mode.

For simultaneous drilling and 
impacting of concrete or masonry, 
choose the Hammer drilling position.

For drilling into steel, wood and 
plastics choose the Rotary drilling 
position.

WARNING! 

The operating mode selector switch 

may be actuated only at a standstill.

8. USING THE DEPTH GAUGE(See F).

Rotate the Depth Gauge Locking Screw for Depth Gauge 
anti-clockwise, insert Depth Gauge into the handle. Adjust 
the Depth Gauge to desired depth. Rotate the handle 
clockwise to tighten the Depth Gauge.

9. FORWARD AND REVERSE ROTATION 
CONTROL (See G1, G2)

For drilling usage, switch the forward and reverse rotation 
control to the right(with the drill pointing away from you). 
Then you can lock the On/Off switch for continuous use 
following step 6.
For releasing a jammed drill bit, switch the forward and 
reverse rotation control to the left(with the drill pointing 
away from you).

NOTE: 

Never move the forward and reverse rotation 

control whilst the drill in operation or the on/off switch is 
locked as this will damage the drill.

WORKING HINTS FOR 

YOUR TOOL

1.   Reduce the pressure on the drill bit when it is about to 

break through. This will prevent the drill from jamming. 

2.   When drilling a large hole, first drill a pilot hole using a 

smaller drill bit.

3.   Always apply pressure to your drill bit in a straight line, 

and if possible at right angles to the workpiece.

4.   Never change the operating mode whilst the drill is 

running.

5.   Do not apply excessive pressure to the tool when 

drilling. Expressive force does not speed up the work.
