IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment is fitted
with an approved cord and plug for its intended country of
use. Do not change the cord or plug in any way.
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 INSTRUCTION FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING! When using electric tools basic safety
EC - DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY GB
IMPORTANT GB
WARRANTY GB
GENERAL SAFETY RULES GB
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GB

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.
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 energizing 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 jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry 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 & 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 tool repaired by a qualified person. This electric
tool complies with the relevant safety rules. Repairs should
only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare
parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to
the user.
b) When servicing a tool, use only genuine Evolution
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.

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

bit begins to break through the workpiece.
• Always secure small workpieces in a vice or other hold
down device.
Drilling Wood
When drilling wood the best results will be obtained by
using dedicated wood bits equipped with a guide screw. The
guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the
workpiece.
Drilling Metal
To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make
an indentation with a centre-punch and hammer at the point
to be drilled. Place the point of the bit into the indentation
and begin drilling.
Use an appropriate lubricant for the material being drilled
with the exception of iron and brass which should be drilled
dry.
Hammer Drilling Operation
Select the hammer drill function on the mode selection
switch.
CAUTION
There is a sudden twisting force exerted on the tool / bit
at the time of hole break-through, when the hole becomes
clogged with chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing
rods embedded in concrete. Always use the side grip handle
and firmly hold the tool by both the side handle and the
switch handle during hammer drilling operations. Failure to
do so could result in loss of control of the tool and potential
injury to the operator.
Be sure to use a dedicated tungsten-carbide tipped drill bit.
Position the bit at the desired location for the hole, then pull
the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Consistent light
pressure gives the best results. Keep the tool in position and
prevent it from slipping away from the hole.
Do not apply extra pressure if the hole becomes clogged
with chips or particles. Instead allow the tool to run at idle
and then partially remove the bit from the hole. By repeating
this several times the hole will be cleaned out and normal
drilling may be resumed.
Chiselling Operations
Set the mode selection switch to the preferred operator
position, either chisel (locked) or chisel (unlocked).
CAUTION
When using the tool for chiselling operations it is very
important that the operator wears all the appropriate safety
equipment. Safety glasses and dust masks are essential and
other apparel such as gloves, safety shoes, ear protectors
etc should be worn as necessary.
Ensure that all marking out is completed before any
chiselling is attempted. Insert the required chisel into the
SDS chuck and ensure positive location. Offer the chisel
up to the worksurface and holding the tool firmly with both
hands begin the chiselling operation. Switch on the tool and
begin to cut.
Do not force the tool. Gentle consistent pressure works
best. Do not try to remove too much material in one pass.
Several repeat passes may be needed to achieve the
required results.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Keep tool, cord, and carry case clean and free from chips.
Avoid using cleaning products, which include benzene,
trichloroethylene, chloride, or ammonia as these can damage
plastic parts. In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug.
Excessive sparking may indicate the presence of dirt in
the motor or worn out carbon brushes. Check for wear and
replace when they reach 6mm (1/4”). For all other service
take machine to your local dealer, or to Evolution Power
Tools USA, Iowa, if bought in the USA.
Lubrication
Your machine gearbox is lubricated at the factory. To check
and / or add lubricant, it is necessary to dismantle the tool.
