GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING! Read all safety warnings,
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
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.
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
adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power

4
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. 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.
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

5
or medication. A moment of inattention while
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
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

6
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
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. If damaged, have the

7
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.
h. Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and gripping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
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.

IMPACT DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
4. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in high
locations.
5. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
6. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
8. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
9. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.

WARNING! Remove the plug from the mains supply
before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance. Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or
any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the
chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck
and personal injury may result.

15
To open the chuck jaws, rotate the front section of the chuck
while holding the rear section. Insert the drill bit between
the chuck jaws and rotate the front section in the opposite
direction while holding the rear section. Ensure that the drill
bit is in the centre of the chuck jaws. Finally, firmly rotate the
two separate chuck sections in opposite directions. Your drill
bit is now locked in the chuck.
Drilling in all materials
1. Always use sharp drill bits.
2. Mark the place where the hole is to be drilled.
3. Commence with a slow speed to start the hole then
increase the speed once the hole has been started. Reduce
your pressure on the tool when the drill bit is about to
break through the material.
Drilling in metal
1. Move the mode selector to the right (drill bit icon) to select
the drill mode.
2. Support thin material on a scrap piece of wood.
3. Use a punch to mark the position of the hole. Careful use
of the variable speed feature allows you to start holes
without centre punching. Operate the drill at a low speed
until you start the hole.
4. If drilling a large hole use a small drill bit at first to establish

16
a pilot hole then use the required large sized drill bit.
5. Use only HSS (high speed steel) drill bits or those
recommended for metal use.
6. When drilling into iron or steel, use a cooling lubricant,
such as thin oil.
7. With aluminium, use turpentine or paraffin.
8. With brass, copper and cast iron, use no lubricant but
withdraw the drill regularly to assist cooling.
Drilling in wood
1. Move the mode selector to the right (drill bit icon) to select
the drill mode.
2. Mark the place where you want to drill with a punch or nail.
3. To avoid splintering on breakthrough, either clamp a piece
of scrap wood to the back of the workpiece or continue the
hole from the back of the workpiece when the drill bit first
breaks through.
Hammer drilling in masonry
1. Move the mode selector to the left (hammer icon) to select
the hammer mode.
2. Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled.
3. Depress the switch to start the drill.
4. Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting.
Note: Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate
a hole. Let the drill and bit do the work.
5. If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the
tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and
determine the reason for jamming.
