For your safety WARNING! Read all safety instructions and other instructions. Failure to observe the safety instructions and other instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. Before using the power tool, please read and follow:

these operating instructions,

the “General safety instructions” on the handling of power tools in the enclosed booklet (leaflet-no.: 315.915),

the currently valid site rules and the regulations for the prevention of accidents. This power tool is state of the art and has been constructed in accordance with the acknowledged safety regulations. Nevertheless, when in use, the power tool may be a danger to life and limb of the user or a third party, or the power tool or other property may be damaged. The power tool may be operated only if it is

in perfect working order. Faults which impair safety must be repaired immediately. Intended use The hammer drill and chisel hammer CHE 2-28 R SDS-plus is designed – for commercial use in industry and trade, – for hammer drilling in masonry and concrete for wall plug and anchor attachments and through-holes, – for light trimming work to remove plaster and tiles, – to be used with suitable tools recommended by the manufacturer for this power tool. Safety instructions for hammers Wear ear protection. The effect of noise may result in loss of hearing. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the power tool. The loss of control may result in injuries. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, 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 shock the operator. Additional safety instructions Use suitable detectors to detect concealed power supply cables or consult your local supply company. Contact with electric cables may result in a fire and/or electric shock. A damaged gas pipe may cause an explosion. Cutting into a water pipe will cause damage to property or may cause an electric shock. When working, hold the electric power tool firmly with both hands and ensure that you have a secure footing. The electric power tool is controlled more securely if held with both hands. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece is held more securely in a clamping device than by hand. Do not use the electric power tool if it has a damaged power cord. Do not touch the damaged power cord and pull out the mains plug if the power cord is damaged during work. Damaged power cords increase the risk of an electric shock. Only use tools with SDS-plus tool holder. Pull on the insertion tool to check that it is locked properly. Immediately have a damaged dust cap replaced. The dust cap prevents the ingress of dust into the tool holder.CHE 2-28 R SDS-plus

Dust released from materials, such as lead paints, some types of wood, minerals and metal, may be hazardous to the operator or people in the vicinity. Inhaling or touching these dusts may result in respiratory diseases and/or allergic reactions. – Ensure the work place is well ventilated! – If possible, use external dust extraction. – It is recommended to wear a respirator mask belonging to filter class P2. Do not work on materials which release hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos). Identify the power tool with stickers only. Do not drill any holes into the housing. The mains voltage and the voltage specifications on the rating plate must correspond. Noise and vibration The noise and vibration values have been determined in accordance with EN 60745. The A evaluated noise level of the power tool is typically: – Sound pressure level: 91 dB(A); – Sound power level: 102 dB(A); – Uncertainty: K = 3 dB. Total vibration value: – when hammer drilling: – Emission value: a

– Uncertainty: K = 1.5 m/s

– when chiselling: – Emission value: a

– Uncertainty: K = 1.5 m/s

ATTENTION! The indicated measurements refer to new power tools. Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change. NOTE! The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. However if the tool is used for different applications , with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly decrease the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns. CAUTION! Wear ear protection at a sound pressure above 85 dB(A).CHE 2-28 R SDS-plus

Instructions for use Before switching on the power tool Unpack power tool and accessories and check that no parts are missing or damaged. Adjusting the auxiliary handle WARNING! Before performing any work on the electric power tool, pull out the mains plug. CAUTION! Use electric power tool with attached auxiliary handle only. The auxiliary handle can be swivelled into any position to ensure safe and fatigue-free working.

Loosen the clamping by turning the clamping screw anti-clockwise. Swivel the auxiliary handle into the required position. By turning the clamping screw clockwise, fix the handle in the required position. Attaching the depth stop WARNING! Before performing any work on the electric power tool, pull out the mains plug. Press and hold clamping lever on the auxiliary handle in the upper area. Push in depth stop. Set depth stop to the required drilling depth. Release clamping lever. Inserting tools with SDS shank WARNING! Before performing any work on the electric power tool, pull out the mains plug. CAUTION! Used insertion tools may become hot. Wear protective gloves! NOTE! Tools used must have an SDS shank. If tools do not have an SDS shank (e.g. wood drill bit), a three-jaw chuck must be used. Check dust cap. – Clean dirty cap. – Have a defective dust cap replaced.CHE 2-28 R SDS-plus
