Wear ear protection!
Total vibration values (vector sum in the three axes) determined
according to EN 62841
Impact drilling in concrete / Uncertainty
ah,ID = 11.6 m/s2
K = 1,5 m/s2
Drilling into metal / Uncertainty
ah,ID = 2.1 m/s2
K = 1,5 m/s2
WARNING!
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for di󰀨erent
applications, used with di󰀨erent accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may di󰀨er. These conditions may
signicantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned o󰀨 or when it is
running idle. These conditions may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the e󰀨ects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the
accessories, keeping the hands warm, and organising work patterns.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, re, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
PERCUSSION DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety instructions for all operations
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory or
fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or
fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
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.

RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The operator
should pay particular and additional attention to these points in
order to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Injury to hearing – Wear suitable ear protection and limit
exposure.
• Injury to sight – Wear protective eye shields or goggles when
using the product.
• Injury caused by vibration – Hold the tool by the designated
handles and limit exposure to vibration. See “RISK
REDUCTION”.
• Electric shock after contact with hidden wires – Hold the
product only by insulated surfaces.
• Respiratory injury – Dust created by operating the product,
wear suitable protection dependent on type of dust.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may
contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain
individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and
blanching of the ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking,
and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the e󰀨ects of vibration:
• Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit
wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported
that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s
Syndrome.

12
• After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
• Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per
day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these
symptoms.
