Noise/vibration information

Measured values determined in accordance with EN 60745.

• The specified vibration emission value was measured in accordance with a normed test procedure and can be used in order to compare one power tool with another.
• The specified vibration emission value can also be used for an introductory evaluation of the exposure.

• The vibration emission value may fluctuate from the specified value during actual use of the power tool. These fluctuations will depend on the way in which the power tool is used.

• All parts of the operating cycle must be taken into account for this purpose (for example, also including times in which the power tool is switched off and times in which it is switched on, but is running without load). In order to prevent the risks caused by vibrations,

• Wear gloves when using;
• Limit working times and shorten the actual operating time. Safety measures must be taken in order to protect the operator. As a result, the evaluation of the influence must be made whilst taking account of the actual conditions of use. (All parts of the operating cycle must be taken into account for this purpose. This also includes times in which the power tool is switched off and times in which it is switched on, but is running without load.)

CAUTION! A certain amount of noise is unavoidable when using this device. Ensure you carry out noise-intensive work during permitted times. Maintain the quiet periods and limit your work to the absolute minimum.

CAUTION! The effects of noise may cause damage to your hearing. Only ever work with suitable ear defenders. Anybody else in the vicinity should thus also wear ear defenders.

Demolishing of masonry (fig. 7+8).

Use suitable accessories only (see manufacturer's directions). All other applications are expressly excluded.

The tool is intended only for no industrial use.

This unit may not be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, with a lack of experience and without the appropriate knowledge, unless they are supervised by someone who is responsible for their safety or have been instructed by such a person with regard to how the unit is to be operated. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.

WARNING! The warranty is voided by any improper use or use not in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Any necessary repair must be performed by qualified personal.

Improper use of the product

This power tool may not be used as a screwdriver.

All applications carried out with the device that are not listed in the "Proper use" chapter will be considered improper use.

Uses for which the tool is not designed may cause risks and injury. Do not use accessories that are not intended specifically for this electrical tool.

Just because you can affix an accessory to your electrical tool, there is no guarantee it is safe to use.

The permitted revolutions of the tool insert must be at least as high as the highest value specified on the electrical tool. Accessories that turn faster than is permitted may break and fly away.

The external diameter and thickness of the tool insert must match the dimensions of your electrical tool. Incorrectly measured tool inserts cannot be properly protected or checked.

Drill bits or other accessories must fit precisely into the tool holder of your power tool. Tools that do not fit precisely into the tool holder of the power tool will rotate unevenly, vibrate heavily and may cause loss of control over the device.

There is a risk of injury.

The user of the device is liable for all property and personal damages occurring as the result of incorrect use.

If other components or non-original components are used with the machine, the manufacturer guarantee is voided.

Remaining risks:

The operating instructions for this electrical tool contain comprehensive tips for the safe handling of electrical tools. However, every electrical tool has a certain level of remaining risks which cannot be excluded by the protective mechanisms on the device. Always operate electrical tools with the necessary care.

Remaining risks may be, for example:

• Touching rotating parts or tools.

• Injury caused by flying tools or tool parts.

• Risk of fire with insufficient ventilation of the motor.

• Adverse effects on the hearing caused by working without ear defenders.

The ability to work safely is dependant on the familiarity of the operator when it comes to handling the given electrical tool. Appropriate knowledge of the machinery and careful behaviour when working help to minimise the remaining risks.

Warning! During operation, this power tool generates an electromagnetic field. This field may, under certain circumstances, influence active or passive medical implants. In order to reduce the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend persons with such a medical implant to consult their doctor and the manufacturer of the medical implant before using the electrical tool.

5 - General safety instructions for handling power tools

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.

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

a Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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.

If it is not possible to avoid using the electrical tool in a damp environment, use a residual current circuit-breaker. The use of a residual current circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electrical shock.

3 Personal safety

a Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

h If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

4 Power tool use and care

a Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5 Service

a Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

b To avoid hazards, damaged power leads must be replaced by the manufacturer or his customer service representative.

7 - Installation and setting

Attaching the tools (Fig. 4 + 5)

CAUTION! Pull out mains plug.

The jackhammer is equipped with a tool chuck (5) suitable for SDS-max-type tools. This type of tool chuck allows a quick tool change without need for a spanner.

Before attaching the tool draw the plastic cap of the tool chuck back (fig. 4). Now insert the tool into the chuck as deep as it will go. Release the cap, it will slide forward and the tool will be held in place by the steel balls in the chuck. Check the secure grasp of the chuck by pulling on the tool. It must move in the chuck, but not come out.

To remove the tool, pull back the plastic cap. Now you can pull the tool out of the chuck (fig. 5).

While chiselling, there is a constant mechanical friction between the chuck and the tool shaft. Coat the end of the tool shaft with a light coat of machine grease.

Adjusting the Accessory Handle

Upon delivery, the accessory handle (4) is folded forward. Before use, adjust it according to your requirements. Turn the knob on the lower end of the hinge to fix the handle in position (fig. 6).

8 - Operation

Make sure the power mains voltage in your area corresponds to the operating voltage stated on the type label. Make sure the masonry or concrete you intend to break does not contain active supply pipes or wires.

Turning ON and Off (fig. 2)

The ON and OFF switch (2) is located in front of the handle. To turn ON, push the switch to the right, to turn OFF, push to the left.

Setting the Impact Speed (fig. 3)

The machine is equipped with a stepless impact speed regulator (3), which allows working in a manner appropriate to the material.

With the speed regulator you can set impact frequencies between 900 and 1800 impacts per minute. Set the impact frequency according to the material you are working on.

9 - Maintenance and environmental protection

Cleaning

Before undertaking any work on the machine, pull the power plug.

Keep the ventilation slots clean and free from foreign objects at all times.

Before every use, inspect the power cord for damage and have it replaced by a professional if it is damaged.

Clean the unit with a moist cloth or absorbent tissue. Do not allow liquids of any kind to enter the machine. Regularly clean dust, debris and old grease off the tool chuck.

After longer periods of non-use or when starting the machine up in sub-freezing temperatures, allow the machine to run without load for a few minutes to distribute the lubricant within the machine.

At regular intervals the grease filling of the transmission should be inspected.

Use the face spanner (8) to remove the transmission cover (1) and add grease if necessary. Do not pack full of grease! After that, replace the cover (1).

Have further maintenance and repair work, which involves opening the housing, carried out by a qualified professional or contact the customer support department.
