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 electric
(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 grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is
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
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

JCB, SO53 3LE
www.JCBDIY.com
Customer Helpline 0333 0143092
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.

JCB, SO53 3LE
www.JCBDIY.com
Customer Helpline 0333 0143092
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.
b) If the replacement of the
supply cord is necessary, this has
to be done by the manufacturer or
its agent in order to avoid a safety
hazard.
HAND DRILL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wear ear protectors when
impact drilling. Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handle(s), if
supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
3. Hold power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.

used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
To use the correct accessory for the tool and ensure it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed.
WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle
such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not
actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total
working period.
Helping to minimize your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10oC or less.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of
days.
ACCESSORIES
We recommend that you purchase your accessories from the same store that
sold you the tool. Use good quality accessories marked with a well-known brand
name. Choose the type according to the work you intend to undertake. Refer to the
accessory packaging for further details. Store personnel can assist you and offer
advice.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR HAMMER DRILL
If your power tool becomes too hot, set the speed to maximum and run no load for
2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Tungsten carbide drill bits should always be used
for concrete and masonry. When drilling in metal, only use HSS drill bits in good
condition. Always use a magnetic bit holder when using short screwdriver bits.
Where possible use a pilot hole before drilling a large diameter hole.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or
chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always
store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep
all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the
ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool. If the supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household
waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local
authorities or retailer for recycling advice.
