Safety instructions for drill driver/hammer drill

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

Drill driver

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring. The cutting accessory or fastener contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Secure the work piece. Clamping devices or a vise will hold the work piece in place better and more safely than holding it by hand.
• Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
  ■ Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or walls or posts.
  Should the bit become bound or jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the tool could crush your hand or leg.
  ■ Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
  ■ When working with the power tool, always hold it firmly with both hands and assume a secure stance. The power tool is guided more securely with both hands.

Hammer drill

■ Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring. The cutting accessory or fastener contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
- Secure the work piece. Clamping devices or a vise will hold the work piece in place better and more safely than holding it by hand.
- Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
■ Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle and walls or posts. Should the bit become bound or jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the tool could crush your hand or leg.

Safety instructions when using long drill bits:

■ Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit.
At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
■ Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
■ Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

Noise and vibration

The noise and vibration values have been determined in accordance with EN 62841. The A evaluated noise level of the power tool is typically:

• Sound pressure level L_pA :
  DD 2G 18.0-EC LD 78 dB(A)
  PD 2G 18.0-EC LD 77 dB(A)

- Sound power level L_WA :

DD 2G 18.0-EC LD 89 dB(A)

PD 2G 18.0-EC LD 88 dB(A)

- Uncertainty: K = 5 dB.

Total vibration value:

• Emission value a_h :
  DD 2G 18.0-EC LD 1.02 m/s ^2
  PD 2G 18.0-EC LD 0.78 m/s ^2

– Uncertainty: K = 1.5 m/s

CAUTION!

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 measurement method standardised in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The specified vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different cutting accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission level may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
To make an accurate estimation of the vibration exposure level, it is also necessary to take into account the times when the tool is switched off or running but not actually in use.
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 cutting accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

CAUTION!

Wear ear defenders at a sound pressure above 85 dB(A).

■ Place the direction selector switch 7 in the center position to lock the trigger switch 4.
■ Remove the battery pack. Rotate the chuck 2 counterclockwise, as shown in Figure F, to open the chuck jaws 3.
■ Insert a bit as far as it will go and rotate the chuck 2 clockwise and securely tighten by hand. (See figure G)
■ To remove the bit, rotate the chuck 2 counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws 3 and remove the bit.

WARNING

Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an angle and then tighten the chuck as shown in Figure H This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the tool, resulting in possibly serious personal injury or damage to the chuck.

WARNING

The bit may be hot after prolonged use. Use protective gloves when removing the bit from the tool, or first allow the bit to cool down.

Direction preselection (see figure I)

CAUTION!

Change the direction of rotation only when the power tool is stopped.

Move the direction preselector switch 7 to the required position:

■ Position the direction preselector switch 7 to the far left of the tool to drive screws in or tighten screws.
■ Position the direction preselector switch to the far right of the tool to remove screws or loosen screws.
■ Position the direction preselector switch in the "OFF" (center-lock) position to help reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use.

NOTE

The drill driver/hammer drill will not run unless the direction-of-rotation selector is engaged fully to the left or to the right.

WARNING!

Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, the direction preselector switch should always be locked in the center position when the tool is not in use or when carrying it at your side.

Two-speed gear shifter (see figure J)

The shifter 6 is located on the top of the tool and allows to switch between gears "1" and "2".

a. Gear "1" provides higher torque and slower speeds for heavy-duty work or for driving screws, drilling large diameter holes, or tapping threads. Use the mode "1" for starting holes without a center punch, drilling metals or plastic, drilling ceramics, or in applications requiring a higher torque.

b. Gear "2" provides lower torque and faster speeds for hammer drilling (PD 2G 18.0-EC LD only) or lighter drilling work. The gear "2" speed is more suitable for drilling wood and wood composites and for using abrasive and polishing accessories.

NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the tool to come to a complete stop before changing gears.

Function-selection ring (PD 2G 18.0-EC LD only) and torque-adjustment ring

WARNING!

Do not adjust the torque or function-selection ring when the tool is running.

Your tool is equipped with a function-selection ring (PD 2G 18.0-EC LD only) and torque adjustment ring for various applications. Move the ring depending on the requirements of your task.

The proper setting depends on the job and the type of bit, fastener, and the material you will be working on. In general, use greater torque for larger screws. If the torque is too high, the screws may be damaged or broken.

DD 2G 18.0-EC LD (see figure K):

Your drill features 18 torque settings for driving and 1 drilling setting. Output torque will increase as the ring is rotated from 1 to 18.

Adjust the torque by rotating the torque-adjustment ring. The higher the torque setting, the more force the tool produces to turn an object.

The drilling setting will lock the clutch to permit drilling and other heavy-duty applications.

PD 2G 18.0-EC LD (See figure L):

Your hammer drill features 24 torque settings, 1 drilling setting, and 1 hammer drilling setting. Output torque will increase as the ring is rotated from 1 to 24.

The Drill setting will lock the clutch to permit (non-hammer) drilling and other heavy-duty applications.

The Hammer Drilling setting will lock the clutch to permit hammer drilling only.

NOTICE: Do not use the hammer drilling setting for drilling in wood, metal, ceramic, and plastic to prevent the drill/screw bit from being damaged.

LED light (see figure M)

Your tool is equipped with an LED light 5, located on the base of the tool. This provides additional light on the surface of the work piece for operation in lower-light areas.

The LED light 5 will automatically turn on with a slight squeeze on the variable-speed trigger switch 4 before the tool starts running, and will turn off approximately 10 seconds after the variable-speed trigger switch 4 is released.

The LED light will rapidly flash when the tool and/or battery pack becomes overloaded or too hot, and the internal sensors will turn the tool off. Rest the tool for a while or place the tool and battery pack separately under air flow to cool them.

The LED light will flash more slowly to indicate that the battery is at low-battery capacity. Recharge the battery pack.

Switching on the power tool (see figure N)

■ To switch the power tool on:

Press the trigger switch 4.

The variable-speed trigger switch delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure.

■ To switch the power tool off:

Release the trigger switch 4.

WARNING!

To prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool when assembling parts.

WARNING!

If any parts are damaged or missing, do not operate this product until the parts are replaced. Use of this product with damaged or missing parts could result in serious personal injury.

Drilling (see figure O)

WARNING!

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

a. Check that the direction preselector switch 7 is at the correct setting (forward or reverse).
b. Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
c. Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled.
d. Depress the variable-speed trigger switch 4 to start the drill.
e. Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit "biting". Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let the tool do the work.
f. When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch to mark the desired location of the hole. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off-center as the hole is started.
g. When drilling metals, use light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling efficiency.
h. If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.

There are two rules for drilling hard materials. First, the harder the material, the greater the pressure you need to apply to the tool. Second, the harder the material, the slower the speed should be. If the hole to be drilled is large, drill a smaller hole first, and then enlarge to the required size with a larger bit; it's often faster in the long run.

Drilling wood (see figure P)

For maximum performance, use high-speed steel or brad-point bits for wood drilling.

■ Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
■ Increase speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
- When drilling "through" holes, secure a block of wood behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on the back side of the workpiece

NOTICE: Bits may overheat unless reversed and pulled out frequently to clear chips from flutes.

Drilling metal

For maximum performance, use high-speed steel bits for metal or steel drilling.

■ When drilling metals, use light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling efficiency.
■ Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
■ Maintain a speed and a pressure that allow cutting without overheating the bit. Applying too much pressure will:

- Overheat the Drill.

- Wear the bearings.

– Bend or burn bits.

– Produce off-center or irregularly shaped holes.

Driving screws (see figure Q)

Try to use standard-type screws for easy driving and improved grip.

a. Install the correct driver bit.

b. Ensure that the torque-adjustment ring is set to the most suitable setting. If in doubt, start with a low setting and gradually increase the setting as necessary. Do not change the torque setting when the tool is running.

c. Use the correct gear ("1" or "2") for the job and initially apply minimal pressure to the variable speed trigger switch. Increase the speed only when full control can be maintained.

d. It is advisable to drill a pilot hole first. This hole should be slightly longer than the screw to be driven and just smaller than the shank diameter of the screw. The pilot hole will act as a guide for the screw and will also make tightening the screw less difficult. When screws are positioned close to an edge of the material, a pilot hole will also help to prevent splitting of the wood.

e. Use a countersinking bit (sold separately) to accommodate the screw head so that it does not protrude from the surface.

f. Keep sufficient pressure on the drill to prevent the bit turning out of the screw head. The screw head can easily become damaged, making it difficult to drive home or remove.

g. To stop the drill/driver, release the trigger switch and allow the tool to come to a complete stop.

Drilling masonry (PD 2G 18.0-EC LD only) (see figure R)

For maximum performance, use carbide-tipped masonry bits when drilling holes in brick, tile, concrete, etc.

■ Maintain a speed and a pressure that allow cutting without overheating the bit or drill. Applying too much pressure will:
- Overheat the drill.
- Wear the bearings.
- Bend or burn bits.
- Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
■ Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results in brick.
■ Apply additional pressure for hard materials such as concrete.
- When drilling holes in tile, practice on a scrap piece to determine the best speed and pressure. To prevent the drill bit from skidding/ sliding, first apply two pieces of masking tape to create an "X" shape over the intended drilling spot.
■ Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
