GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read and understand all instructions before
operating this product. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire and / or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING! When using electric tools basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and personal injury including the following:
Read all these instructions before attempting to operate
this product and save these instructions.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
CAUTION! This is a very powerful machine. When using
this drill it is essential that the following rules are followed.
1. When drilling it is common that the drill bit jams in the
material being drilled. This will result in the drill trying to rotate
around the drill bit and potentially to come out of your grip.
This SDS drill has a safety clutch mechanism. This safety
clutch mechanism will be activated and stop the drive to the
drill, BUT only if you resist the initial forces caused by the
jamming, by securely holding the drill with BOTH hands.
As this is a powerful machine, these forces are significant.
2. ALWAYS ensure that the front handle is firmly fixed in
place and secure.
3. The front and rear handles must be firmly held to resist
any movement of the drill when the drill or drill bit becomes
jammed.
4. ALWAYS use the drill when standing on a firm and secure
platform or on the ground. (DO NOT USE ON LADDERS
OR STEPS)
5. NEVER start the drill with the drill bit jammed in position.
6. DO NOT stretch to hold the drill. Do not drill above shoulder
height or below knee height, as the drill cannot be securely held.
7. This machine is not suitable for use with TCT core drill
bits, diamond core drill bits, and diamond drill bits.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and personal injury.
Please read all of these instructions before attempting
to operate this machine. Save this manual for future
reference.
1. Keep work area clear. Cluttered work areas invite accidents.
2. Consider work area environment. Do not expose tools
to rain. Do not use tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work
area well lit. Never use tools near flammable liquids or gases.
3. Protect yourself against electric shock. Avoid body
contact with earthed or grounded surfaces.
4. Keep other people away. Do not let others, especially
children, come close to the work, and touch the tool or the
extension lead. Keep them away from the work area.
5. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be
stored in a dry locked-up place, out of children’s reach.
6. Never force the tools. Your tools will be more efficient and
safer when used at the rate for which they were intended.
7. Use the right tool. Do not force small tools to do the job of
a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not intended;
for example do not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery
which may get caught in moving parts. Non-skid footwear
is recommended when working outdoors. If you have long
hair, tie it back and wear protective hair covering.
9. Use protective equipment. Use safety glasses.
Use face or dust mask if cutting operations create dust.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment. If the machines
have a connection for dust extraction equipment, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
11. Do not damage the cable. Never pull the power cable
to disconnect the machine. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure workpiece. Where possible, use clamps or a vice
to hold the workpiece. It’s much safer than using your hands.
13. Don’t over reach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
14. Maintain tools in good working condition.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better performance and
optimum safety. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect power cables regularly and, if damaged,
have them replaced by an authorised service centre. Inspect
extension cables regularly and replace immediately if damaged.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease at all times.
15. Disconnect tools. Disconnect tools from the power supply
when not in use, before any maintenance operation and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
16. Remove adjusting keys and spanners. Get into the
habit of checking that adjusting keys and spanners have
been removed from the machine before turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure switch is in “off”
position before plugging in the machine.
18. Use proper extension leads. When the tool is used
outdoors, use only extension leads intended for outdoor
use and labelled as such.
19. Stay alert. Concentrate on what you are doing, use
common sense and do not operate the tool when you are tired.
20. Check that no part is damaged. Before using a tool, make
sure that it is in good working order. Check the alignment and
condition of moving parts, mounting and any other aspect that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service
centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Do
not use the tool if the switch does not turn on and off.
21. Warning. The use of any accessory or attachment other
than one recommended in this instruction manual may

present a risk of personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired at an authorised service
centre. This electric tool complies with current safety rules.
Repairs should only be carried out by an authorised service
centre using original spare parts. Failing this, the user could
expose themselves to considerable danger.
HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust
particles will be produced. In some instances, depending
on the materials you are working with, this dust can be
particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).You
are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials
you are working with and to reduce the risk of exposure.
You should:
-Work in a well-ventilated area.
-Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks
that are specially designed to filter microscopic particles.
WARNING! Do not operate machine if warning and /
or instruction labels are missing or damaged. Contact
Evolution Power Tools for replacement labels.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Do not let familiarity with this product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to hammer drill
safety rules. If you use this tool incorrectly you could suffer
serious personal injury.
1.Hold tools by the insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
‘live’ wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool ‘live’
and shock the operator.
2.Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no
one is below you when using the tool in high locations.
3.Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Always use the
side grip.
4.Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5.Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only
when hand-held.
6.Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immediately
after operation; they may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
7. Some materials contain chemicals which may be toxic.
Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact.
Follow material supplier safety data.
CAUTION! Always unplug drill from the mains supply before
changing the drill bit, servicing, cleaning or adjusting the drill.
