- Power Cable: Approximately 3 meters long with an approved plug for connection to a 230V power supply.
Setup
- Attaching the Side Handle:
Loosen the side handle clamp. Slide the handle over the front of the drill body and position it to your preferred angle for optimal control. Tighten the clamp securely.
- Inserting the Depth Rod:
Insert the depth rod through the hole in the side handle clamp. Adjust the rod to the desired drilling depth. The tip of the drill bit should extend beyond the end of the depth rod by the desired depth. Secure the depth rod by tightening the clamp.
- Inserting a Drill Bit:
Ensure the drill is unplugged from the power source. Rotate the chuck counter-clockwise to open the jaws. Insert the drill bit fully into the chuck. Rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws firmly around the drill bit. For keyless chucks, hand-tighten securely. For keyed chucks, use the chuck key to ensure maximum grip.
Operating Instructions
- Power Connection:
Connect the drill's power cable to a suitable 230V AC power outlet.
- Selecting Operating Mode:
Use the mode selector switch (typically located on the top or side of the drill) to choose between:
- Rotary Drilling: For drilling into wood, metal, and plastics.
- Hammer Drilling: For drilling into masonry, concrete, and brick.
- Setting Rotation Direction:
Use the forward/reverse switch (usually near the trigger) to select the desired rotation direction. Forward (clockwise) is for drilling and tightening screws. Reverse (counter-clockwise) is for removing drill bits from holes or loosening screws.
- Starting and Stopping:
To start the drill, press the variable speed trigger. The speed increases with trigger pressure. To stop, release the trigger.
For continuous operation, press the trigger and then press the lock-on button. To release the lock, press the trigger again.
- Drilling Technique:
Hold the drill firmly with both hands. Position the drill bit at the desired drilling point. Start drilling at a low speed, gradually increasing as the bit penetrates the material. Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force the drill.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your hammer drill. Always unplug the tool before performing any maintenance.
- Cleaning: Keep the ventilation openings clear and free from dust. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean the tool. Do not use water or chemical cleaners.
- Power Cord Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. If damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician.
- Chuck Maintenance: Keep the chuck jaws clean and free of debris to ensure proper bit gripping.
- Storage: Store the drill in a dry, secure place out of reach of children.
