1.1.3. Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is tted with the
correct fuse - see fuse rating in these instructions.
8DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
8DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable. Remove the plug from the socket by maintaining a rm grip on the plug.
8DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or replaced immediately by a

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
9Disconnect the drill from the mains power before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
9Maintain drill in good condition. Check moving parts and alignment and keep drill bits sharp. If necessary use an authorised service
agent.
9 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty. Repairs must be carried out by qualied personnel.
9 Wear approved safety eye protection with side shields and a dust mask if drilling generates dust. Protective gloves are
recommended when using out doors and safety gloves when drilling items such as steel, brick work etc, remove ill tting clothing.
9Remove ties, watches, rings, other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
9 Use drill in an adequate working area for its function, keep area clean, tidy and free from unrelated materials and ensure adequate
lighting.
9 Evaluate your working area before using the drill i.e. ceiling, oors and enclosures may contain hidden electrical wires or water
piping. Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden within the work area.
8DO NOT use in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust.
9Maintain correct balance and footing. Hold the tool with both hands.
8DO NOT over-reach and ensure the oor is not slippery and wear non skid shoes.
9The supplementary handle grip should always be attached for use.
9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
8DO NOT hold unsecured work in your hand.
9Secure non stable work piece with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding device.
9Avoid unintentional starting and ensure the lock on button is disengaged before use.
8DO NOT force the drill to achieve a task it was not designed to perform.
8DO NOT operate drill where there are ammable liquids or gasses.

8DO NOT get the drill wet or use in damp or wet locations.
8DO NOT operate the drill if any parts are missing or the drill is damaged as this may cause failure and/or possible personal injury.
8DO NOT operate the drill when you are tired, under the inuence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
8DO 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.
9Always allow the tool to come to a complete stop before putting the tool down.
9 When operating the tool outdoors, use a tool suitable for outdoor use.
9Avoid 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.
9 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from intended could result in hazardous situation.
9 Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your nger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
9Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
9Store out of reach of children.
8DO NOT allow untrained persons to use the tool.
9Store all safety notes and safety instructions for future reference. The term power tool in all of the warnings listed below refers to
your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a):...................14.36m/s²
Uncertainty value (k):..................................................1.5m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a
specic evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
Ahealth and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical. Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably
from and depend on many factors. Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufcient to allow un restricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration
Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be
modied accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the
uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufcient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and
maintain good blood circulation in ngers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the Correct Use and
Maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on the HSC website www.
hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
