2. Safety Instructions

Always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

General Safety Rules

• Work Area Safety: Keep your 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.
• 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.
• Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection. Use a dust mask when working in dusty conditions. Wear non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat when necessary. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
• 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. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

Specific Safety for Rotary Hammer Drills

• Always use the auxiliary handle for better control and stability.
• Be aware of hidden wiring or pipes when drilling into walls. Use a metal detector if unsure.
• Ensure the drill bit or chisel is securely inserted into the SDS-plus chuck before operation.
• The tool generates significant vibration; take breaks to avoid hand-arm vibration syndrome.
• Utilize the dust cap to minimize airborne dust and maintain a clear workspace.

4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the rotary hammer drill and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Keep the packaging for future storage or transport.

4.2 Attaching the Auxiliary Handle

1. Loosen the auxiliary handle by twisting it counter-clockwise.
2. Slide the handle over the chuck and onto the main body of the drill.
3. Adjust the handle to a comfortable position for your grip.
4. Tighten the handle by twisting it clockwise until secure.

4.3 Inserting Drill Bits/Chisels (SDS-plus System)

1. Clean the shank of the drill bit or chisel.
2. Pull back the chuck collar on the rotary hammer.
3. Insert the SDS-plus shank into the chuck until it clicks into place.
4. Release the chuck collar. The bit should have a slight amount of play (back and forth movement) which is normal for SDS-plus systems.
5. To remove, pull back the chuck collar and pull the bit out.

5. Operation

The Powerplus POWX1195 offers four distinct operating modes:

1. Drilling Mode (Rotation Only):

   Use this mode for drilling in wood, metal, plastics, or when precise drilling without impact is required. Set the mode selector to the drill icon.

2. Hammer Drilling Mode (Rotation with Impact):

   This is the primary mode for drilling into hard materials like concrete, masonry, and natural stone. The tool provides both rotation and powerful impacts. Set the mode selector to the hammer drill icon.

   

3. Chiseling Mode (Impact Only):

   Ideal for light demolition work, removing tiles, or breaking up concrete. In this mode, the chuck does not rotate, only impacts. Set the mode selector to the chisel icon.

4. Chisel Rotation Mode:

   This mode allows you to adjust the angle of the chisel without impact, useful for positioning the chisel correctly before starting chiseling work. Set the mode selector to the chisel rotation icon, adjust the chisel, then switch back to chiseling mode.

5.1 General Operating Tips

• Always hold the tool firmly with both hands, using the auxiliary handle.
• Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the tool.
• For deep holes, periodically withdraw the drill bit to clear debris.
• When drilling metal, use a cutting lubricant.
• Ensure proper ventilation in your workspace.
• The improved vibration reduction system helps minimize hand and wrist fatigue during extended use.
