1. Important Safety Instructions
Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical tools 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. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces.
- Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection. Use hearing protection when operating for extended periods. 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.
- Maintenance: 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.

3. Setup
3.1 Attaching the Auxiliary Handle
The auxiliary handle provides better control and stability during operation. It can be adjusted 360 degrees for optimal comfort and leverage.
- Loosen the auxiliary handle by rotating it counter-clockwise.
- Slide the handle onto the front of the drill body.
- Adjust the handle to your desired position.
- Tighten the handle by rotating it clockwise until secure.
Figure 3.1: The auxiliary handle can be rotated 360 degrees. Rotate counter-clockwise to loosen and adjust.
3.2 Installing Drill Bits
Always ensure the drill is unplugged before changing bits.
- Insert the chuck key into one of the holes on the chuck.
- Rotate the chuck key counter-clockwise to open the chuck jaws.
- Insert the desired drill bit into the chuck, ensuring it is centered and fully seated.
- Rotate the chuck key clockwise to tighten the chuck jaws securely around the drill bit. Remove the chuck key before operating the drill.
3.3 Setting the Depth Gauge
The depth gauge helps achieve consistent drilling depths.
- Loosen the auxiliary handle.
- Slide the depth gauge through the hole in the auxiliary handle.
- Adjust the depth gauge so that the desired drilling depth is achieved when the tip of the gauge touches the workpiece.
- Tighten the auxiliary handle to secure the depth gauge in place.
Figure 3.2: The depth gauge is used to fix the auxiliary handle for precise drilling depth, particularly useful when drilling into concrete.
4. Operating Instructions
Before operating, ensure all safety precautions are followed and the drill is properly set up.
4.1 Powering On/Off and Speed Control
- Plug the drill into a suitable power outlet (230V).
- To start the drill, press the trigger switch.
- The drill features variable speed control. The harder you press the trigger, the faster the drill bit will rotate.
- To stop the drill, release the trigger switch.
- For continuous operation, press the trigger and then press the lock-on button. To release, press the trigger again.
4.2 Mode Selection
The drill offers two operating modes: Drill mode and Hammer Drill mode.
- Drill Mode (⚒): Use this mode for drilling into wood, metal, plastics, and for driving screws. The hammer function is disengaged.
- Hammer Drill Mode (🔨): Use this mode for drilling into masonry, concrete, and brick. The hammer action provides additional impact for faster drilling in hard materials.
Select the desired mode using the selector switch located on the top of the drill body.
4.3 Drilling in Different Materials
Figure 4.1: The drill is suitable for various materials, including concrete (hammer mode), steel (drill mode), and wood (drill mode).
Figure 4.2: Select the hammer function for drilling into concrete.
Figure 4.3: Select the drill function for drilling into steel.
Figure 4.4: Select the drill function for drilling into wood.
- For Wood and Metal: Use standard drill bits. Select "Drill" mode. Apply steady, even pressure. Use lower speeds for larger bits or harder materials.
- For Concrete and Masonry: Use masonry drill bits. Select "Hammer Drill" mode. Apply firm, consistent pressure. The hammer action will assist in breaking through hard materials.
- Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped or held to prevent movement during drilling.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your ENGINDOT PID01A Hammer Drill.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the drill with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Keep ventilation openings clear of dust and debris.
- Chuck Care: Periodically clean the chuck jaws to ensure proper gripping of drill bits. Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the chuck jaws if they become stiff.
- Cord Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. If damaged, have it repaired by a qualified technician.
- Storage: Store the drill in a dry, secure place, out of reach of children.
6. Troubleshooting
