VEDLIKEHOLD OG KONTROLL

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 safety

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

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric 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 mask, 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) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection 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 and/or the battery pack from the power tool 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.

PRECAUTION

Keep children and infirm persons away.

When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and infirm persons.

APPLICATION

○By combined action of ROTATION and IMPACT: Boring holes in concrete, marble, granite, tile, and similar materials.
○By ROTATIONAL action: Boring holes in metals, wood and plastics. Tightening wood screws.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source

Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power requirements specified on the product nameplate.

2. Power switch

Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately, which could cause a serious accident.

3. Extension cord

When the work area is removed from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.

4. Fixing the side handle

Attach the side handle to the mounting part. Rotate the side handle grip in a clockwise direction to secure it.

Set the side handle to a position that is suited to the operation and then securely tighten the side handle grip.

5. Mounting and dismounting of the bit

For keyless chuck

(1) Mounting the bit

After inserting a driver bit, etc. into the keyless drill chuck, firmly grasp the ring and tighten the sleeve by turning it toward the right (in the clockwise direction as viewed from the front) (See Fig. 1).

○If the sleeve becomes loose during operation, tighten it further. The tightening force becomes stronger when the sleeve is tightened.

(2) Dismounting the bit

Firmly grasp the ring and loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in the counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front) (See Fig. 1).

NOTE

When the sleeve does not become loose any further, fix the side handle to the sleeve. Then, strike the grip of the side handle to the left in order to loosen the sleeve, while holding the ring by hand (Fig. 2).

CAUTION

Do not fix the side handle to the ring of the keyless chuck because of a risk that doing so may damage the ring.

For Drill chuck with chuck wrench

Fit the drill bit into the chuck and use the chuck wrench to secure it, tightening the chuck by each of the three holes in turn (Fig. 3).

6. Selecting the appropriate drill bit

○When boring concrete or stone:

Use the drill bits for concrete.

○When boring metal or plastic:

Use an ordinary metalworking drill bit.

○When boring wood:

Use an ordinary woodworking drill bit. However, when drilling 6.5 mm or smaller holes, use a metalworking drill bit.

7. Selecting the driver bit

Screw heads or bits will be damaged unless a bit appropriate for the screw diameter is employed to drive in the screws.

8. Check the rotational direction (Fig. 4)

The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) by pushing the R-side of the push button. The L-side of the push button is pushed to turn the bit counterclockwise.

(The (L) and (R) marks are provided on the body.)

CAUTION

○Never change the direction of bit rotation during operation.

Turn the power switch OFF before changing the direction of bit rotation; otherwise, the motor will burn.

○Always use with clockwise rotation, when using it as an impact drill.

9. IMPACT to ROTATION changeover (Fig. 5)

The impact drill can be switched from IMPACT (impact plus rotation) to ROTATION (rotation only) by simply sliding the change lever. When boring concrete, stone, tile or similar board materials, slide the change lever right. The drill head impacts against the material while continuing to rotate.

When boring metal, wood or plastic, slide the change lever fully to the left. The drill simply rotates as an ordinary electric drill.

CAUTION

Do not use the impact drill in the IMPACT mode if the material can be bored by rotation only. Such action will not only reduce drill efficiency, but may also damage the drill tip.

When changing over, ensure the change lever is slid as far as it will go.

HOW TO USE

1. Pressure

Drilling will NOT be accelerated by placing heavy pressure on the drill. Such action will only result in a damaged drill bit, decreased drilling efficiency and/or shortened service life of the drill.

2. Using a large diameter drill bit

The larger the drill bit diameter, the larger the reactive force on your arm. Be careful not to lose control of the drill because of this reactive force. To maintain firm control, establish a good foothold, hold the drill tightly with both hands, and ensure that the drill is vertical to the material being drilled.

3. When drilling completely through the material

When the drill bit bores completely through the material, careless handling often results in a broken, drill bit or damage to the drill body itself due to the sudden movement of the drill. Always be alert and ready to release pushing force when drilling through the material.

4. Switch operation

○When the trigger is depressed, the tool rotates. When the trigger is released, the tool stops.

The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled by varying the amount that the trigger switch is pulled. Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly and increases as the trigger switch is pulled more.

○The desired rotation speed can be pre-selected with the speed control dial.

Turn the speed control dial clockwise for higher speed and counterclockwise for lower speed (Fig. 6).

○Pulling the trigger and pushing the stopper, it keeps the switched-on condition which is convenient for continuous running. When switching off, the stopper can be disconnected by pulling the trigger again.

CAUTION

Drill at a maximum rotation speed when drilling wooden materials.

5. When driving wood screws

(1) Selecting a suitable driver bit

Employ plus-head screws, if possible, since the driver bit easily slips off the heads of minus-head screws.

(2) Driving in wood screws

○Prior to driving in wood screws, make holes suitable for them on the wooden board. Apply the bit to the screw head grooves and gently drive the screws into the holes.

○After rotating the screwdriver at low speed for a while until a wood screw is partly driven into the wood, squeeze the trigger more strongly to obtain optimum driving force.

CAUTION

Exercise care in preparing a hole suitable for the wood screws taking the hardness of the wood into consideration.

Should the hole be excessively small or shallow, requiring much power to drive the screw into it, the thread of the wood screw may sometimes be damaged.

○Do not drive machine screws.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspection the drill bit

Continued use of a worn and/or damaged drill bit will result in reduced drilling efficiency and may seriously overload the drill motor. Inspect the drill bit often and replace it with a new bit as necessary.

2. Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could result in serious hazard.

3. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is very "heart" of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet oil or water.

4. Servicing

Consult an authorized Service Center in the event of power tool failure.
