Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate power tool when you are tired.

1. Check power tool for damaged parts

Before further use of the power tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation.

A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service facility unless otherwise indicated in the operating instructions.

Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service facility. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

1. Warning!

For your safety, use only accessories and attachments which are described in the operating instructions or are provided or recommended by the tool manufacturer. The use of tools other than those described in the operating instructions or in the catalogue of recommended tool inserts or accessories can result in a risk of personal injury.

1. Have your power tool repaired by an authorised service facility

Power tools must comply with the relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by an authorised service facility. Considerable danger to the user may otherwise occur. Malmbergs is able to ensure perfect functioning of the machine only if the original accessories intended for it are used.

1. Use suitable detectors to find hidden electric lines or water pipes

Contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock. Penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or an electrical shock.

1. After you have switched off the machine always wait until it has come to a standstill before placing it down.

2. Overload clutch

If the drill bit becomes jammed or caught, the drive to the drill spindle is interrupted. Because of the forces that occur as a result, always hold the machine securely with both hands and take a firm stance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Auxiliary Handle, (see Fig. A)

Operate the machine only with the auxiliary handle (13).

By rotating the auxiliary handle to a comfortable position, a fatigue-free and therefore safe working position can be achieved.

Loosen the auxiliary handle (13) in the counterclockwise direction and adjust the handle to the desired working position. Ensure that the clamping band of the auxiliary handle is located in the groove intended for it in the housing.

Then retighten the auxiliary handle by turning it in clockwise direction.

Selecting Drill Chucks and Tools

For hammer drilling and chiselling, SDS-plus tools are required that are inserted in a SDS-plus drill chuck.

For drilling in steel or wood as well as screw driving and for thread cutting, tools without SDS-plus are used (for example drills with cylindrical shafts).

Do not use tools without SDS-plus for hammer drilling or chiselling! Tools without SDS-plus and their drill chuck are damaged by hammer drilling or chiselling.

Inserting/Replacing the Drill Chuck

Inserting the Drill Chuck for Working with Tools without SDS-plus, (see Fig. B)

To work with tools without SDS-plus (e.g., drills with cylindrical shafts), a suitable drill chuck must be used.

Screw the SDS-plus adaptor (16) (accessory) into the ring gear drill chuck (15). Secure the drill chuck with the screw (14).

Clean the adapter shaft and lightly grease the insertion end before inserting.

Insert the shaft of the assembled drill chuck (17) with a twisting motion into the tool holder (3) until it can be heard to lock.
