VIBRATION INFORMATION
| WX317 WX318 | |||
| Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745: | |||
| Impact drilling into concrete | Vibration emission value a | _h ID=6.435m/s^2 | a_h ID=9,217m/s^2 |
| Uncertainty K=1.5m/s2 | |||
| Drilling into metal | Vibration emission value a | _h D=4,046m/s^2 | a_h D=7,288m/s^2 |
| Uncertainty K=1.5m/s2 | |||
The declared vibration total value may be used for comparing one tool with another, and may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate)
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10^ C or less
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

HAND DRILL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
- Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR DRILL
1. Drilling masonry and concrete
Select the drill/impact action selector switch to the “hammer symbol” position. Tungsten carbide drill bits should always be used for drilling masonry, concrete etc with a high speed.
2. Drilling steel
Select the drill/impact action selector switch to the "drill symbol" position. HSS drill bits should always be used for drilling steel with a lower speed.
3. Pilot holes
When drilling a large hole in tough material (i.e. steel), we recommend drilling a small pilot hole first before using a large drill bit.
4. Drilling tiles
Select the drill/impact action selector switch to the "drill symbol" position to drill the tile. When tile has been penetrated, switch over to "hammer symbol" position.
5. Cool the motor
If your power tool becomes too hot, set the speed to maximum and run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.
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.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
-
If your power tool does not start, check the plug on the power supply first.
-
If the drill doesn't work properly, check the drill bit for sharpness, replace drill bit if worn. Check that the drill is set to forward rotation for normal use.
-
If a fault can not be rectified, return the tool to an authorized dealer for repair
