Frequently Asked Questions - DH 5 SDS-max Flex

How to change the SDS-max chuck?

To change the SDS-max chuck, pull the release collar back and insert the tool while twisting slightly until it locks. To remove, pull the collar and pull out the tool.

What oil to use for lubrication?

Use a special hammer drill oil or lithium grease. Apply a small amount into the chuck every 20 hours of use.

How to adjust the drilling depth?

Use the depth stop provided. Loosen the screw, adjust the rod to the desired depth, then retighten.

Why does the hammer not impact?

Check that the mode selector is set to 'hammer drilling'. Also ensure the tool is fully inserted into the chuck and that the carbon brushes are not worn out.

How to clean the ventilation slots?

Use a dry brush or a soft vacuum to remove dust. Never use compressed air as it could push dirt inside.

Can I use SDS-plus bits?

No, the SDS-max chuck is incompatible with smaller SDS-plus bits. Only use tools with an SDS-max shank.

How to replace the carbon brushes?

Unplug the tool. Remove the caps of the brush holders, take out the worn brushes and insert new ones in the correct orientation. Screw the caps back on.

What hearing protection to use?

Wear ear muffs with an attenuation of at least 25 dB, as the sound level exceeds 100 dB(A).

How to drill into metal?

Use a metal drill bit, disable the hammer action, and drill at low speed while lubricating with cutting oil.

What to do if the chuck no longer holds the tool?

Clean the inside of the chuck and the shank of the tool. If the problem persists, the chuck may be worn and needs to be replaced.

Important safety information

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failuretofollow the warnings and instructions may result inelectric 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

• as intended,
  – in perfect working order.

Faults which impair safety must be repaired immediately.

Intended use

The chisel hammer DH 5 SDS-max is designed

-for commercial use in industry and trade,
-for moderately difficult trimming and break-through work in concrete and masonry as well as for removing 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.
If the insertion tool is at risk of coming into contact with concealed power cables or the power cord itself, hold the power tool by the insulated grip surfaces only. Contact with a live cable may also cause metal parts of the appliance to become live and result in an electric shock.
■ 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. Drilling 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.

Special safety instructions

■ Do not work on cut materials which release hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos). Take precautions if hazardous, combustible or explosive dust is likely to occur. Wear protective dust mask. If available, use dust extraction equipment.

■ 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: 89 dB(A);

—Sound power level: 100 dB(A);

—Uncertainty: K = 3 dB.

Total vibration value (when chiseling):

$$ - \text { Emission value: a } \quad h = 1 1. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^ {2} $$

$$ - \text { Uncertainty: } K = 1. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} $$

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.

For a precise estimation of the vibration load the times should also be considered during which the power tool is switched off or even 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 accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

CAUTION!

Wear ear protection at a sound pressure above85 dB(A).

Operating instructions

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 screw by turning it anti-clockwise.

Maintenance and care

WARNING!

Before performing any work on the electric power tool, pull out the mains plug.

Cleaning

Regularly clean the power tool and ventilation slots. Frequency of cleaning is dependent on the material and duration of use.

Regularly blow out the housing interior and motor with dry compressed air.

Carbon brushes

The electric power tool features cut-off carbon brushes.

When the cut-off carbon brushes reach their wear limit, the electric power tool switches off automatically.

NOTE!

Use only original parts supplied by the manufacturer for replacement purposes. If non-original parts are used, the guarantee obligations of the manufacturer will be deemed null and void.

When the power tool is being used, the carbon brushes can be seen sparking through the rear air inlet apertures. If the carbon brushes are sparking excessively, switch off the electric power tool immediately.

Take your electric power tool to a customer service centre authorised by the manufacturer.
