1. Introduction
This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Parkside 750W PSBM 750 B3 Impact Drill. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the tool and keep it for future reference. Proper use and care will ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your drill.
2. Safety Instructions
Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or damage to the tool.
2.1 General Power Tool Safety
- 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 such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
- Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection. Use safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield. Wear hearing protection when operating the drill for extended periods. Dress properly; do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
2.2 Drill Specific Safety
- Secure Workpiece: Always secure the workpiece firmly. Do not hold it by hand.
- Proper Grip: Hold the tool firmly with both hands, especially when using the hammer drill function, to counteract torque reaction.
- Check for Hidden Utilities: Before drilling into walls, floors, or ceilings, check for hidden electrical wires, gas pipes, or water pipes using a suitable detector.
- Overheating: Do not overload the drill. Allow it to cool down during prolonged use.

5.3 Drilling Techniques
5.3.1 Drilling in Metal
Figure 2: Drilling into a metal workpiece. This image shows a person wearing protective gloves operating the Parkside drill to create a hole in a metal beam. The depth stop is visible, indicating precise drilling.
Use high-speed steel (HSS) drill bits. Apply light, steady pressure. Use cutting oil for better results and to prolong bit life. Start with a center punch to prevent the drill bit from wandering.
5.3.2 Drilling in Masonry/Concrete
Figure 3: Impact drilling into a brick wall. A person is shown holding the Parkside drill with both hands, applying pressure to drill into a light-colored brick wall. The auxiliary handle is correctly positioned for control.
Use carbide-tipped masonry drill bits. Set the drill to impact drilling mode. Apply firm, consistent pressure. Do not force the drill; allow the impact mechanism to do the work. Clear dust from the hole periodically.
5.3.3 General Drilling Tips

- Always start drilling at a low speed to prevent the bit from slipping.
- Increase speed gradually once the bit has engaged the material.
- Maintain a straight drilling angle.
- Withdraw the drill bit slowly while it is still rotating to clear debris.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your drill.
- Cleaning: Always unplug the drill before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Keep ventilation openings clear of dust and debris.
