WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of
experience or knowledge unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
g)

Drilling wood
• Ensure that drill bits are suitable for wood, and are within the maximum
capacity of this drill (see ‘Specification’)
Drilling metal
• To ensure accuracy, mark the intended hole position using a hammer and
centre punch
• Ensure that drill bits are suitable for the grade of metal being drilled, and
are within the maximum capacity of the drill (see ‘Specification’)
• To ensure efficient cutting, and prolong drill bit life, use a suitable lubricant
or cutting fluid
Screwdriver use
1. Fit a ¼" bit to SDS Plus adaptor into the Chuck (15)
2. Select gear 1 using the Gear Switch (4)
3. Rotate the Mode Selector (2) to Drill
IMPORTANT:
This drill is not optimally configured for driving screws and
should only be used for driving screws partially into or out of material to speed
up operation.
• Drive screws into material until the screw head is no less than 10mm
above the material or the drill slows due to resistance. Ensure the tool
motor and gearing is not under excessive strain
• Remove screws by first unscrewing by hand until only light resistance to
turning is felt then fully remove with the drill
CAUTION
• Applying excess pressure does not result in faster or more efficient drilling.
If the pressure applied to the drill has a noticeable effect on the speed
of the drill then reduce the pressure. Overloading the drill will reduce its
service life
• As the drill bit penetrates the material being drilled, it may ‘catch’ or ‘snag’.
This can cause the machine to suddenly ‘kick’, to prevent any possibility
of injury always hold the drill securely, use the side handle, and use sharp
drill bits

pack
While core drilling, the core drill has locked/
jammed in the material
Excessive pressure on tool at the point of
breakthrough in the material
Reduce pressure before breakthrough
Hammer mode is on
Ensure hammer mode is off to prevent damage to
cutting teeth and reduce possibility of jamming

Ensure the core drill max speed and diameter are
compatible with the drill
Large build-up of debris inside core drill while
operating
Regularly empty this build-up of debris to ensure
safe operation
Drill is uncomfortable to use due to vibration
Tool is being used for too long
Take frequent breaks and read the sections in this
manual regarding vibration
Tool will not start
