2. General Safety Instructions

Always observe the following safety precautions when using power tools:

• Work Area Safety: Keep the 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.
• Electrical Safety: Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
• Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection. Use hearing protection when operating noisy tools. Wear a dust mask if operations create dust. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing or jewelry. Secure long hair.
• Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
• Service: 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.

4.1 Attaching the Auxiliary Handle

The auxiliary handle provides additional grip and control. Loosen the auxiliary handle by turning it counter-clockwise. Slide it onto the tool body to the desired position and tighten it clockwise.

4.2 Installing the Depth Stop

Insert the depth stop rod into the designated hole on the auxiliary handle. Adjust the depth stop to the required drilling depth by sliding it in or out. Secure it by tightening the auxiliary handle.

4.3 Inserting SDS Plus Drill Bits/Chisels

1. Clean the shank of the drill bit or chisel and apply a thin layer of grease.
2. Pull back the chuck sleeve and insert the bit into the chuck, rotating it slightly until it engages.
3. Release the chuck sleeve. Pull the bit to check if it is securely locked. The bit should have a small amount of axial play, which is normal for SDS Plus systems.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Mode Selection

The mode selector switch allows you to choose the appropriate operating mode:

• Drilling (Rotation Only): For drilling in wood, metal, or plastics.
• Hammer Drilling (Rotation with Impact): For drilling in concrete and masonry.
• Chiseling (Impact Only): For light chiseling work, such as removing tiles or plaster.

To change the mode, rotate the selector switch to the desired symbol. Ensure the tool is unplugged before changing modes, especially for chiseling, to prevent accidental activation.

5.2 Powering On/Off and Speed Control

Press the On/Off trigger to start the tool. The speed is variable depending on how far you press the trigger. For continuous operation, press the lock-on button while the trigger is fully depressed. To switch off, release the trigger or press it again if the lock-on button is engaged.

5.3 Rotation Direction

Use the rotation direction switch (Figure 4) to select forward or reverse rotation. Forward rotation is for drilling and hammer drilling. Reverse rotation is primarily for unscrewing or freeing jammed drill bits. Change the rotation direction only when the tool is switched off.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your rotary hammer.

• Cleaning: Keep the ventilation slots clean to prevent overheating. Wipe the tool housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents or solvents.
• Chuck Maintenance: Regularly clean the SDS Plus chuck and apply a small amount of special grease to the bit shanks to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.
• Cord Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord for any damage. If damaged, have it replaced by a qualified technician.
• Storage: Store the tool in its original case in a dry, secure place, out of reach of children.
