General Safety Instructions
Always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
- 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.
- 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 the hammer drill. Dress properly; do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep 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. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.

- Chuck Key
- Carry Case
Setup
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove the hammer drill and all accessories from the carry case. Inspect the tool for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. Do not use the tool if it appears damaged.
2. Attaching Accessories
The RH150068 features a keyless chuck. To insert a drill bit:
- Rotate the chuck collar counter-clockwise until the jaws are open wide enough to accept the drill bit.
- Insert the drill bit fully into the chuck.
- Rotate the chuck collar clockwise to tighten the jaws securely around the drill bit. Ensure the bit is centered and firmly held.
Note: Although the product description mentions "Chuck Key" as an included component, the specification states "Keyless Chuck". For this manual, we will assume the "Keyless Chuck" specification is correct for operation, and the "Chuck Key" might be for another accessory or a general listing error. If it were a keyed chuck, the key would be used to tighten.
3. Power Connection
Ensure the power switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging the tool into a power outlet. Connect the corded electric hammer drill to a standard 220V power supply. Use an appropriate extension cord if necessary, ensuring it is rated for the tool's power requirements (1500 Watts).
Operating Instructions
1. Starting and Stopping
- To start the tool, press the trigger switch.
- To stop the tool, release the trigger switch.
- For continuous operation, press the trigger and then press the lock-on button (if available). To release, press the trigger again.
2. Drilling Modes
The Ingco RH150068 features hammer functionality for drilling into masonry and concrete, and a rotation-only mode for drilling into wood, metal, or plastics.
- Hammer Drilling: Select the hammer icon on the mode selector switch for drilling into hard materials. This mode combines rotation with a hammering action.
- Rotary Drilling: Select the drill bit icon on the mode selector switch for standard drilling without hammering.
3. Reverse Rotation
The tool is equipped with a reverse rotation feature, useful for removing jammed drill bits or driving/removing screws (though screw functionality is listed as 'No' in product description, the reverse function is present). The direction of rotation is controlled by a switch, usually located near the trigger.
- Push the switch to the left for forward (clockwise) rotation.
- Push the switch to the right for reverse (counter-clockwise) rotation.
Caution: Always ensure the tool has come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your hammer drill.
1. Cleaning
- After each use, clean the tool with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Do not use water or chemical cleaning agents, as these can damage the tool's electrical components.
- Periodically clean the ventilation openings to prevent overheating.
2. Storage
- Store the hammer drill in its original carry case in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children.
- Protect the power cord from damage during storage.
3. Lubrication
This tool is designed for maintenance-free operation regarding internal lubrication. Do not attempt to lubricate internal components unless specified by a qualified service technician.
