1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY. p
p
WARNING! It is the users responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure they are safe before using. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and all
electrical connections for wear and damage. You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety
devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD
(Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly important to use an RCD together with portable products that are
plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a professional electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current
Device by contacting your Sealey dealer. You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by
a qualified Electrician at least once a year by using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance,
and the safety of the appliance operator. If in doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power
supply. See 1.1.1. & 1.1.2. above and use a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage,
especially power connections, to ensure that none are loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply
to be used, and check that plugs are fitted with the correct capacity fuse. A 13Amp plug may require
a fuse smaller than 13Amps for certain products (subject to 1.1.10. below) see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the powered appliance by its power supply lead.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by
a qualified Electrician. A U.K. 3 pin plug with ASTA/BS approval is fitted. In case of damage, cut off
and fit a new plug according to the following instructions (discard old plug safely).
(UK only - see diagram at right). Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug.
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal E.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to live terminal L.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal N.
After wiring, check there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected and that the wire restraint is tight.
Double insulated products are often fitted with live (BROWN) and neutral (BLUE) wires only. Double insulated products are always marked with
this symbol . To re-wire, connect the brown & blue wires as indicated above. DO NOT connect the brown or blue to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Cable extension reels. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD
fitted is recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. The section of the cable on the cable
reel is important. We recommend that at least 1.5mm2section cable but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the cable reel is
suitable for this product and for others that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm2section cable.

3.1. PREPARING DRILL FOR USE.
p
p
WARNING! Unplug the drill from the mains power supply
before proceeding.
3.1.1. Positioning the side handle. The side handle (fig 1-5) may be
placed at any angle around the drill collar in order to reduce
fatigue and gain greater control over the drill. To reposition
handle, loosen the grip by unscrewing it anti-clockwise. Swivel the
handle to the required angle and lock it again by screwing the grip
clockwise until tight. Check that the collar (fig 1-4) is tight and that
the handle does not move.
3.1.2. Inserting a drill bit/chisel. Select an appropriate drill bit (or
chisel) for the task. Check that it is clean and sharp. Lightly
lubricate the shank of the bit, pull drill spindle lock (fig 2-A) back
and hold. Insert bit into the spindle carrier and turn the bit until it
drops fully into place. Release the spindle lock and check that the
bit is firmly held in place (fig 2-B). To remove the bit pull back and
hold the spindle lock and lift the bit out.
3.1.3. Fitting the dust cup. The dust cup (fig 2-C ) is mainly used when
drilling vertically upwards and will collect a proportion of the dust
and debris generated that might otherwise enter the spindle lock
or ventilation on the drill. To use the dust cup attach the apropriate
bit and then push the cup onto the bit shaft. Ensure the cup bowl
shape is facing toward the tip of the bit.
3.1.4. Fitting the depth stop. To fit the depth stop (fig1-6), loosen the
depth stop clamping knob (fig1-11) attached to the handle moulding.
When the clamp has opened sufficiently push the straight end of
the stop bar through the clamp moulding with the stepped end
close to the bit. Set the stop at the required depth and retighten
the clamp. Note: The distance set between the end of depth stop
and the end of drill will determine how deep the hole will be.

remove the chuck key before using the drill. Also ensure that all other safety requirements are followed.
p
p
WARNING! In all cases below, be prepared for drill binding or break through. When these situations occur the drill has a tendency
to grab and kick in the opposite direction and could cause loss of control. If you are not prepared this can result in possible damage
and/or personal injury. Where possible, place a wooden block under metal work piece at the point where the drill will break through.
4.1. DRILLING MASONRY, BRICK, STONE, ROCK OR CONCRETE.
The hammer action can be used if required on brick, stone, rock or concrete.
4.1.1. Ensure drill is unplugged from the mains power supply.
4.1.2. Place the dust cup on the drill piece.
4.1.3. If the material to be drilled is not fixed in place, it should be secured in a vice or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
4.1.4. If the surface is smooth, create a guide groove at the point of hole location. This will prevent bit from slipping as you start to drill.
Alternatively, drill a pilot hole to assist the final drill size through the work piece. Lock a pilot drill into the chuck (a smaller size drill than
finished hole size, you may need to use standard chuck), and drill a pilot hole. Insert the final sized bit into appropriate chuck or locking
collar. In addition to other safety items also wear an appropriate dust mask.
4.1.5. To increase drill penetration switch the hammer action on. Set the control selectors according to fig.3-X.
4.1.6. Plug drill into mains power supply and hold drill firmly, placing the bit at the entrance of the pilot hole, or at the point to be drilled.
4.1.7. Depress the trigger to start drill. Move the drill bit into the work piece applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting.
DO NOT force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate the hole. Allow the hammer action to progress the hole.
Occasionally remove the drill to expel dust from the hole.
4.1.8. If the bit jams in the work piece or if the drill stalls, release the trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the work piece and determine
the reason for jamming.
4.1.9. The depth gauge may be used to pre-determine the depth of hole.
4.2. CHISEL .... USE on MASONRY, BRICK, STONE, ROCK OR CONCRETE.
