GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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 mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
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.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Use this product only with batteries and chargers
listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correla-
tion supplement 987000-432.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon 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 inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
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.
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.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
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.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
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.
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.
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.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing 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.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ROTARY HAMMER DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
ing loss.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contact-
ing a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as
the specific potential hazards related to this power
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when assembling parts,
operating the tool, or performing maintenance. Fol-
lowing this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protectors during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an elec-
trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not
using your battery tool or when changing accessories.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products
in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F
or more than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, bat-
tery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with
your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If
liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water
for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical
attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of seri-
ous personal injury.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects, that can make
a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

drill bits, a chuck adaptor may be used.
NOTE: Use with Rotational Drilling Mode only. Use of
Rotary Hammer mode or Chisel Only mode will damage the
tool’s mechanism when used for fastening or drilling with
non-SDS-Plus bits.
BREAK-IN AND COLD STARTS
A new hammer drill may require up to five hours of operation
for break-in. When stored for long periods or in low tem-
peratures, a warm-up period of a few seconds to a couple
of minutes may be required in hammer mode.
OPERATION

7 — English
INTERNAL CLUTCH
The hammer drill features an internal clutch that is preset
to allow a sufficient amount of force for most drilling opera-
tions. It may slip when the bit binds in the hole or the tool
is overloaded. Be aware that an instant before the clutch
slips, a torque reaction can occur allowing the hammer drill
body to twist in the opposite direction of the turning bit. The
clutch will automatically reset when the binding force of the
bit is removed.
NOTE: It is normal during the drilling process for the bit to
momentarily stop rotating when the clutch is slipping. Con-
tinued drilling will not damage the tool.
MODE SELECTOR
See Figure 9, page 12.
The mode selector gives the operator four options.
Rotary Hammer Mode
Hammering action plus drill bit rotation.
Use for hammer drilling.
Rotational Drilling Mode
Drill bit rotation only; no hammering ac-
tion. Use for drilling and other heavy duty
applications.
Chisel Adjust Mode
Position allows the user to rotate the bit
to the optimum position for chiseling
applications.
Chisel Only Mode
Hammering action only for chipping
concrete, tile, and masonry.
NOTE: If the product has not been operated recently, the
mode selector may be difficult to turn. If you cannot change
modes, turn the tool on and allow it to run for a few seconds.
This should free the gears and allow you to change modes
normally.
DRILLING/CHISELING
Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
Secure the workpiece in a vise or with clamps to keep it
from turning as the bit rotates.
Hold the tool firmly and place the bit at the starting point
of the workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not drive a screw where there is likely to be hidden
wiring behind the surface. Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and possibly
shock the operator. If you must drive a screw where hid-
den wire may be present, always hold tool by insulated
gripping surfaces (handle) when performing the operation
to prevent a shock to the operator.
Depress the switch trigger to start the tool.
Move the bit into the workpiece, applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force the tool or
apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let the tool do
the work.
WARNING:
Be prepared for binding at bit breakthrough. When
these situations occur, the tool has a tendency to grab
and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and could
cause loss of control when breaking through material. If
not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible
serious injury.
When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch
to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the bit
from slipping off-center as the hole is started.
If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the tool stalls, stop
the tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece
and determine the reason for jamming.
NOTE: This tool has an electric brake. When the switch trig-
ger is released, the chuck stops turning. When the brake is
functioning properly, sparks will be visible through the vent
slots on the housing. This is normal and is the action of the
brake.
NOTICE:
During extended periods of use, it is possible that lubri-
cation may leak from the gearbox. This is a normal oc-
currence and does not indicate a problem with the tool.
Avoid placing the tool on an unprotected surface to avoid
possible property damage.
OPERATION

8 — English
MASONRY DRILLING
See Figure 10, page 12.
For maximum performance, use carbide-tipped masonry
impact bits or designated hammer drill bits when drilling
holes in brick, tile, concrete, etc.
Select Rotary Hammer Mode.
Apply light pressure at medium speed for best results in
brick.
Apply additional pressure for hard materials such as
concrete.
When drilling holes in tile, practice on a scrap piece to
determine the best speed and pressure. Begin drilling at
a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the
starting point.
WOOD, METAL, AND STEEL DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
wood or metal drilling. Select Rotational Drilling Mode.
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from
slipping off the starting point.
NOTICE:
When using the tool, do not apply too much pressure. Too
much pressure will place unnecessary load on the motor.
WOOD DRILLING
Select Rotational Drilling Mode.
 Increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind
the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on
the back side of the hole.
METAL AND STEEL DRILLING
Select Rotational Drilling Mode.
Use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating.
The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the
drilling action.
Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting
without overheating the bit. Applying too much pressure
will:
• Overheat the drill;
• Wear the bearings;
• Bend or burn bits; and
• Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit,
then finish with a larger bit.
CHISELING
See Figure 11, page 12.
Select Chisel Only Mode.
Position the tip of the chisel at the point where chiseling
is to begin.
Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results in
brick or tile. Apply additional pressure for hard materials
such as concrete.
Selecting Chisel Adjust Mode allows the bit to rotate
freely to the best operating position for your chiseling
application.
