INTRODUCTION
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Congratulations on purchasing an Ozito Rotary Hammer Drill.
We aim to provide quality tools at an affordable price.
We hope you will enjoy using this tool for many years.
Your Ozito Rotary Hammer Drill OZRH1100A has been
designed for drilling, chiselling & chipping masonry products,
it can also drill timber and steel using the chuck adaptor
included. It is intended for DIY use only.
Warning! When using mains-powered equipment, basic safety
precautions, including the following, should always be followed to
reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and material damage.
Read and understand the manual prior to operating this tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for
future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check
that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for
Australia and New Zealand.
This tool is double insulated in accordance with AS 60745.2.6;
therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or an authorised Ozito Service Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for added
protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure
within the tool.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this
tool. Before use, inspect the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and
ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely.
Use of an extension lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or which
is damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire and electric shock.

GENERAL

1. Keep work areas clean. Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.
2. Consider work area environment. Do not expose your tool to high
humidity or rain. Do not use your tool in damp or wet conditions. Keep
the work area well lit. Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing
fire or explosion, e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids and gases.
3. Keep children away. Do not allow children, visitors or animals to
come near the work area or to touch the tool or power lead.
4. Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these
can be caught in moving parts. Preferably wear non-slip footwear when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out
of the way.
5. Head protection. Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask
whenever the operations may produce dust or flying particles. Wear
ear protection whenever the sound level seems uncomfortable.
6. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators).
Electric safety can be further improved by using a high sensitivity (30
mA / 30 mS) residual current device (RCD).
7. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate the tool when you are tired.
9. Secure work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece; it
is safer as it frees both hands to operate the tool.
10.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Always check that adjusting
keys and wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the
tool.
11.Extension leads. Before use inspect the extension leads and replace if
damaged. When using the tool outdoors, only use extension leads
intended for outdoor use and marked accordingly.
12.Use appropriate tool. The intended use is described in this
instruction manual. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the
job of a heavy duty tool. The tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was intended. Do not force the tool.
Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment, or performance of
any operation with this tool other than those recommended in this
instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROTARY HAMMER DRILLS
Before drilling into walls, ceilings etc, ensure there are no concealed
power cables or pipes in the cavity.
Always use the side handle, this gives you greater control if the accessory
should become jammed.
Keep the cord clear of the accessory being used, do not wrap the cord
around your arm or wrist.
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the exposure time by taking frequent
breaks. Vibration caused by the hammer action may be harmful to your
hands and arms.
When removing an accessory from the tool avoid contact with skin and
use proper protective gloves when grasping the bit or accessory.
Accessories may be hot after prolonged use.
Warning! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contain chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
The risk from such exposures vary depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals; work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and
when drilling/chiselling overhead. Sanding particles can be absorbed by
your eyes and inhaled easily and may cause health complications.

OPERATION

BEFORE ATTACHING OR REMOVING ANY ACCESSORIES BE SURE TO
DISCONNECT THE ROTARY HAMMER DRILL FROM THE POWER
SUPPLY
Side Handle
The side handle will provide additional control, support and guidance for the
tool. The handle is adjustable to any position around the 360º handle collar
mount. Loosen the handle grip by rotating it anti clockwise to the handle
collar. Rotate the handle to the position desired. Fasten and secure the
handle to the handle collar by tightening the handle grip clockwise.
Depth Rod
The depth rod allows you to drill holes to a predetermined depth. On the
top of the side handles collar mount is the depth rods securing knob. Loosen
the securing knob, feed the depth rod through the hole in the upper handle.
Adjust the depth rod so the drill accessory extends beyond the end of the
rod to the required drilling depth. To secure the depth rod into position,
tighten the securing knob. Once the depth rod has been set, proceed to drill
the hole until the end of the depth rod touches the work piece then remove
the drill accessory from the hole. The depth of the hole should be the same
as the depth rod was previously set to.
SDS Plus Accessories
SDS plus accessories should only be secured into the tool holder of the drill,
do not secure them into the chuck adaptor (supplied). Prior to fitting a SDS
plus accessory remove any dust or debris from the accessories shank end and
apply a small amount of bit grease to the end of the SDS shank.
Pull the locking sleeve back towards the body of the drill (away from the tool
holder). Insert the SDS plus accessories shank into the tool holder; rotate the
accessory to make sure it has been inserted as far as it will go, then release
the locking sleeve. With the locking sleeve remaining released, check the
accessory has locked in place by trying to pull it out. The SDS plus
accessories will have a small amount of back and forth movement from the
tool holder; this is normal. To remove the SDS plus accessory, pull the locking
sleeve back towards the body of the drill (away from the tool holder) and
remove the SDS plus accessory. Clean the accessory shank with a cloth after
removal.
Note: You may notice some “wobble” of the accessory when the tool is run
in a no load condition. This is due to the assembly of the quick change SDS
tool holder. This is normal; the bit automatically centres itself and produces
accurate holes as soon as load is placed upon it.

Warning! Accessories may be hot after use. Avoid direct contact with
skin, use gloves or a cloth to remove.
Fitting and Using the Dust Cap
The dust cap catches dust and debris generated while using the drill over
head. It's advised to use the dust cap when drilling over head to minimise
dust and debris entering the drills air vents and extending the drills life.
To fit the dust cap, remove the accessory, place the closed side of the
dust cap over the tool holder then re-insert the SDS plus bit through the
hole in the dust cap and back into tool holder as previously described.
Chuck Adaptor
The chuck adaptor is a SDS plus shank combined with a 13mm keyed
chuck for use with normal drill bits. To use the chuck adaptor first remove
a SDS plus accessory from the tool holder (if previously assembled), then
insert the chucks SDS shank as previously described in SDS Plus
Accessories.
Inserting Bits into the Chuck Adaptor
Open the jaws slightly larger than the bit you are inserting. Insert the drill
bit up to the flutes making sure it is centred in the jaws but not touching
the screw inside the chuck. Tighten the chuck jaws by holding the rear of
the chuck and rotating the front with your other hand. Once the chuck
jaws have clamped evenly around the drill bit, use the key provided to
tighten the chuck fully. Always tighten the chuck using all three holes, this
will ensure a firm grip on the accessory. To remove bits reverse the above.
On/Off Switch
To turn on the drill, squeeze the switch on the rear operating handle. To turn
off the drill, release the switch.
Note: Always wait until the accessory has stopped moving before putting
down tool.
Changing Drilling Modes
Prior to changing modes the On/off switch should have been released
and the tool should have come to a complete stop.
Please note, to rotate the Side Mode Selector, the button on the side
must first be depressed and then the selector rotated to the
desired setting.

OPERATION (cont.)
Hammer Drilling Mode
This setting is recommended for use when drilling holes in concrete and
other masonry products. The hammer action will be in operation while the
drill bit rotates simultaneously.
To engage this mode rotate the mode selector on the top of the drill to the
hammer and drill icon, and rotate the rear mode selector to the drill and
hammer icon as shown below.
Chiselling
This setting is recommended for use when you desire a hammer action
without the accessory rotating which is ideal for “chiselling or chipping” away
at masonry products, pick or chisel accessory bits should be used.
To engage this mode rotate the mode selector on top of the drill to the
hammer icon, and rotate the rear mode selector to the drill and hammer icon
as shown below.
Drilling
This setting is recommended for use when you desire the accessory to rotate
without hammer action. Ideal for drilling into timber or steel when correct
accessories for such materials are used.
To engage this mode rotate the mode selector on top of the drill to the
hammer and drill icon, and rotate the rear mode selector to the drill icon.

• The grease in the gearbox will require replenishment after
approximately 50 hours accumulative use. After this time add
approximately 50 grams of the grease, into the gearbox. First remove
the cap from the tool by using the pinned spanner (supplied). Once
removed add the grease through this hole. Ensure the cap is secured
back into position prior to operation.
• After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free
from all dust particles that may build up. Build up of dust particles
may cause the tool to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the tool requires cleaning do not use solvents but a
moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never
immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
• When the carbon brushes wear out the tool will spark and/or stop. The
brushes are a wearing component of the tool and should be replaced
prior to the carbon wearing out fully. Brushes will wear out after many
uses but before they do take the tool to an Authorised Ozito Service
Agent for quick and low cost replacement. Always replace both
brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by the repair of the tool by an unauthorised person or by
mishandling of the tool.
