General safety warnings
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
- Keep 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.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
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.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. - When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
- Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. - Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power 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. - Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
- Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. - 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. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. - Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. - Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
- Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Hammer safety warnings
Safety instructions for all operations
- Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
- Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits with rotary hammers - Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
- Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure.
Bits can bend, causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
Additional safety information
- Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock. - Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The application tool can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
- Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
- Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorized customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
- The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.

Preparation
Attaching the support handle
The support grip (9) can be rotated 360° around the flange at the front of the rotary hammer, e.g. below or horizontally out from the drill chuck, for the best possible support.
Undo the assembly collar by turning the support handle anticlockwise and pushingthe assembly collar in past the SDS drill chuck and in over the flange on the rotary hammer. Turn the support handle to the required position and retighten it.
Setting drilling depth
To drill several holes to the same depth, use the depth stop (10). Insert a drill bit in the rotary hammer as described.
Loosen the support handle (9) and insert the straight end of the depth stop into the hole on the support handle.
Get the tip of the depth stop flush with the tip of the drill bit. Push the depth stop back as far as the required hole depth, then secure it in place by retightening the support handle.
Fitting drill bits/chisels
The rotary hammer is equipped with an SDS drill chuck for fitting SDS accessories, such as chisels, bits, or the accompanying drill chuck with toothed rim.
Clean the accessory and apply a little engine grease to the shaft before fitting it.
Insert the accessory’s shaft into the SDS drill chuck and turn it half a revolution anticlockwise so that the accessory locks in place.
Check that the tool is in the centre of the SDS chuck and is secure.
If you intend to drill or chisel into a ceiling or above shoulder height, put the dust cap (16) over the accessory’s shaft so that no dust gets into the SDS drill chuck.
Removing tools
Pull back the collar on the SDS chuck, hold it open and remove the tool.
Selecting functions
You can use the selector (2) to choose between chiselling with and without rotation of the drill chuck for breaking and removing tiles indoors.
Press the safety button (a) on the selector (2) and turn the selector (2) to the required position.
You can use the selector (6) to choose between drilling for ordinary drilling in wood and metal and rotary hammering for drilling hard materials, such as brick and stone.
NB! Do not touch these selectors while the rotary hammer is in operation!
Checking and filling the lubricating grease
Position the rotary hammer horizontal.
Unscrew the lubricant cover (3) using the accompanying spanner (13). Make sure you do not lose the seal.
Top up the lubricating grease if necessary.
Without lubricating grease, the rotary hammer may be permanently damaged.
Replace the lubricant cover.
Use
Connect the rotary hammer to mains electricity.
Start the rotary hammer by pressing the on/off button (5).
If you have selected the chiselling function, place the accessory against the workpiece before switching on the rotary hammer.
Note that the rotary hammer vibrates heavily when the chiselling function is selected!
Hold the rotary hammer steady against the workpiece, but do not press too hard. The action of the rotary hammer will usually be sufficient to do the job. If this is not the case, you will probably have to use a more powerful tool.
Stop the rotary hammer by releasing the on/off button.
NB! If the rotary hammer has been stored at a temperature close to or below freezing point, the lubricating grease may be so thick that the chisel cannot move backwards and forwards. Run the rotary hammer unloaded for 5 minutes to warm up the lubricating grease before you start work.
Cleaning and maintenance
Wipe the rotary hammer using a well-wrung cloth after use, and always keep the surface and ventilation slots free of dirt.
Never use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, as they may attack the plastic parts of the rotary hammer.
Check the lubricating grease before each use and top up if necessary.
