Safety

General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Personal Safety

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 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) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) 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.

Specific safety instructions for hammer drilling

a) Wear ear protection. Exposure to excessive noise can cause hearing loss.

b) Always use an auxiliary handle if one is supplied. Loss of control over the power tool can cause personal injury.

c) Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or the power tool's own mains lead. Cutting accessories which contact "live" wires may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

Safety Warnings for battery pack

a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by conductive materials. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.

h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use. Always refer to this instruction and use the correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the battery pack several times to obtain maximum performance.
I) Battery pack gives its best performance when it is operated at normal room temperature (20 ± 5 °C).
m) When disposing of battery packs, keep battery packs of different electrochemical systems separate from each other.
n) Recharge only with the specified charger. Do not use any charger other than that specifically provided for use with the equipment.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
o) Do not use any battery pack which is not designed for use with the equipment.
p) Keep battery pack out of the reach of children.
q) Retain the original product literature for future reference.
r) Remove the battery from the equipment when not in use.

General safety instructions for batteries and chargers

• Never attempt to dismantle a battery.
• Never store a battery in direct sunlight or at temperatures above 40 °C.
• Only charge the battery when the ambient temperature is between +5 and 40 °C.
• Never expose the battery or charger to water.

Vibration

• The measurement of the vibration emission level declared in this instruction manual has been carried out in accordance with a standardised test method described in EN 60745 and can be used for comparing one power tool with another.
• The measurement method may also be used for a preliminary assessment of vibration exposure.
• The declared vibration emission level applies when the power tool is used in accordance with this instruction manual. If however, the power tool is used for other purposes and with other accessories or has not been properly maintained, the vibration emission level could increase significantly over the total working period.
• For an exact assessment of the vibration exposure, the times when the tool is switched off or running idle should also be taken into account. This significantly reduces the vibration exposure over the total working period. Decide upon safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration during all types of use.

Operating instructions

Note: Use respiratory protection when working with material which produces lots of dust. Important: Always remove the battery from the rotary hammer drill before adjusting, servicing or repairing it.

Attaching an accessory

• The SDS-plus tool holder enables accessories to be changed simply and quickly. The SDS-plus tool holder allows the drill bit to slide back and forth, which means that it wobbles when it is not under load. This does not affect the accuracy of the drill since the drill bit centres automatically when it is pressed against the workpiece.

• The dust cover protects the SDS-plus mechanism; take care not to damage the dust cover when changing accessories.

• Make sure that both the shank of the accessory and the SDS-plus tool holder are free from contaminants. The shank of the accessory should be lightly greased.

• Pull back the accessory lock, push the shank of the accessory into the SDS-plus tool holder and turn it slightly until it fits into the slots.
• Release the accessory lock and check that the accessory is locked in place (the hammer function requires the accessory to be able to slide back and forth).

Rotary hammer mode Drill mode

Forward /reverse

Select forward or reverse using the rotation direction selector. The rotating parts of the rotary hammer drill must be completely stationary before you change the direction of rotation.

• Forward rotation (drilling, rotary hammer drilling and screwdriving):
  Press the selector in on the left-hand side.
• Reverse rotation (for unscrewing): Press the selector in on the right-hand side.
• Setting the rotation selector to the middle position will lock the power trigger.

Variable speed power trigger

• The rotary hammer drill is started and stopped by holding or releasing the power trigger (7).
• The rotary hammer drill is equipped with a variable speed control, which makes it extremely practical for screw driving. The more the power trigger is pressed, the greater the speed of the tool.

Drilling tips and advice

• When using the hammer only mode, you should only apply light pressure to the drill. The application of too much pressure can reduce the hammer effect. Try applying different amounts of pressure until you find the most effective one.
• Check the condition of the drill bit regularly. Replace any worn drill bits/tools.
• Hold the rotary hammer drill perpendicular to the workpiece before starting to drill (look from several angles). Make sure that you keep the drill straight, do not force the drill out of line when drilling.

• If you are drilling into thin materials it is important that you place a small piece of waste material behind the hole to be drilled, otherwise there is a risk of burring on the back.

• When drilling into metal you should first use a centre punch to make a small indentation at the spot where you wish to drill. The indentation will prevent the point of the drill bit from wandering.

• Let the drill bit spin whilst lifting it out after drilling through, it allows the motor to cool down and the drill bit is freed of dust and debris.

Overload protection and other safety features

The rotary hammer drill/battery has a number of safety features that prevent damage to the machine and battery during use.

• During short high-load situations the overload protection may turn the rotary hammer drill off. This protection resets automatically. Release the trigger, wait a few seconds, ensure that there is no load and restart the rotary hammer drill. The rotary hammer drill should now function normally again.
• During high-load for extended periods the overheating protection may turn the rotary hammer drill off. This feature is self-resetting but the rotary hammer drill cannot be restarted until it has returned to normal operating temperature. Let the rotary hammer drill cool properly before trying to restart it. Adverse temperatures can occur in direct sunlight and should therefore be avoided.
• The battery has low-voltage protection which operates when the battery becomes discharged. The low-voltage protection turns off the rotary hammer drill automatically and the battery then needs to be recharged.

Care and maintenance

Important: Always remove the battery from the rotary hammer drill before performing any adjustment, service or maintenance.

• Keep the motor ventilation openings free from contaminants.
• Clean the rotary hammer drill using a lightly moistened cloth. Only use mild cleaning agents, never solvents or corrosive chemicals.
• Do not allow the battery to completely discharge unless the rotary hammer drill is not to be used for a long time. Fully charge the battery regularly.
