Personal safety  
Safety instructions  
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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.  
Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid  
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for  
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.  
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the  
off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools  
with your finger on the switch or plugging in power  
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.  
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the  
tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to  
a rotating part of the power tool may result in  
personal injury.  
WARNING. Read and understand all instructions. Failure to  
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric  
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in  
all of the warnings below refers to your mains-operated  
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.  
Save these instructions  
Work area  
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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 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 that these are  
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can  
reduce dust-related hazards.  
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 or moving parts. Damaged  
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor  
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a  
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of  
electric shock.  
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 before  
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or  
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures  
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.  
Service  
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair  
personnel using only identical replacement parts. This  
will ensure that the safety of the power tool  
is maintained.  
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 and in the  
manner intended for the particular type of power  
tool, taking into account the working conditions and  
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for  
operations different from intended could result in a  
hazardous situation.

Chuck replacement  
Chuck removal  
Always wear eye protection.  
Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex key  
(not supplied) of 5mm or greater size. Using a wooden  
mallet or similar object, strike the longer end in the  
clockwise direction. This will loosen the screw inside the  
chuck.  
Hints for use  
Note. When drilling into masonry the drilling rate is fast  
and burnout of the tip will occur if the drill bit is not  
constantly cleared.  
Use only correctly sharpened drill bits, which are  
suitable for the material being drilled.  
To drill hard materials, firm pressure is required on  
the power tool. However, excessive pressure does not  
improve performance and places unnecessary pressure  
on the tool and its bit.  
When screw driving always use a pilot hole and set the  
speed dial to low. Press firmly on the screw head and  
pull the trigger gradually increasing the speed. It is  
always wiser to test the screw driving on a scrap piece  
of the same material you are using.  
Larger diameter holes in hard wood, steel and concrete  
have to be drilled at slower speeds. However, the motor  
must not be struggling with the operation. If the motor  
is struggling DO NOT continue working, pull the drill  
clear of the workpiece and run it on fast speed for a  
minute or so allowing the motor time to cool down  
before you continue with the task. If the job is too  
hard for the drill do not continue otherwise you could  
permanently damage the motor.  
1. Open chuck jaws fully.  
2. Insert a phillips head screwdriver into front of chuck  
between jaws to engage screw head.  
Remove screw by turning clockwise.  
3. Place the hex key in chuck and  
tighten. Using a wooden mallet or  
similar object, strike key sharply in  
the anti-clockwise direction. This  
will loosen the chuck so that it can  
be unscrewed by hand.  
Chuck installation  
1. Screw the chuck on by  
hand as far as it will  
go and insert screw (LH  
thread).  
2. Tighten the chuck around  
the shorter end of a  
Concrete drilling should be carried out on the highest  
speed.  
DO NOT overload motor when drilling concrete.  
DO NOT use too much pressure as the hammer action  
relies on the drill bit being able to move back and forward  
in the hole being drilled.  
Always clear the flutes of the drill bit by removing it from  
the hole regularly.  
1/4”or large hex key  
(not supplied) strike the  
longer end in the clockwise direction with a wooden  
mallet.  
3. Remove the hex key and open the jaws fully. Tighten  
the screw in the centre of the chuck firmly.

Wood Drilling  
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for  
wood drilling.  
Move drilling/hammer mode selector to drilling mode  
Secure the workpiece to prevent it from turning when  
drilling.  
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit  
from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed  
as the drill bit bites into the material.  
Masonry drilling  
For maximum performance use tungsten carbide-tipped  
masonry impact bits when drilling holes in brick, tile,  
concrete, etc.  
Move drilling/hammer mode selector to hammer mode  
Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results  
in brick.  
.
.
Apply additional pressure and high speed for hard  
materials such as concrete.  
When drilling through holes, place a block of wood  
behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered  
edges on the back side of the hole.  
Do not lock the trigger in the ‘on’ position when the  
drill may need to be stopped suddenly.  
When drilling in tile, practice on a scrap piece to  
determine the best speed and pressure.  
Cleaning  
1. Keep your machine and its cord clean. The outside of  
the machine can be cleaned using a damp soft cloth  
with a mild detergent if required.  
Metal drilling  
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for  
metal or steel drilling.  
2. Some maintenance products and solvents may damage  
the plastic parts; these include products containing  
benzene, trichloroethylene, chloride and ammonia.  
Move drilling/hammer mode selector to drilling mode  
.
3. Excessive sparking generally indicates the presence  
of dirt in the motor or abnormal wear on the carbon  
brushes.  
4. Take special care to keep the ventilation inlets/outlets  
free from obstruction; cleaning with a soft brush  
followed by a compressed air jet will usually be  
sufficient to ensure acceptable internal cleanliness.  
5. Wear eye protection when carrying out cleaning.  
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic  
parts of the drill.  
Use a centre punch to mark the hole location on  
the workpiece.  
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit  
from slipping off the starting point.  
Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting  
without overheating the bit. Applying too much  
pressure will:  
Overheat the drill  
Wear the bearings  
Bend or burn bits  
Produce off-centre or irregular shaped holes  
Power cord maintenance  
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be  
carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent,  
or an authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety  
hazard.  
When drilling large holes in metal it is recommended to  
drill with a small bit at first, then finish with a larger  
bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling  
action and increase bit life.
