Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or changing
any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Attaching the side handle
• The Side Handle (10) should always be used when drilling
• ALWAYS hold the drill firmly using both hands
• The Side Handle can be adjusted to best suit the work to be performed
• To adjust the Side Handle, rotate the handle grip anti-clockwise to loosen the handle assembly.
Move the Side Handle to the required position and secure by rotating the handle grip clockwise
Operating the chuck
• The Chuck (1) can be opened by holding the rear chuck ring, and rotating the front chuck ring
anti-clockwise
• To tighten the chuck, hold the rear chuck ring, and rotate the front chuck ring clockwise
• DO NOT run the drill to tighten or release the chuck. This will cause permanent damage to your
tool
Speed control
• The maximum speed of the drill can be limited by using the Speed Control Dial (8). This limits
the maximum settable speed of the Trigger Switch (7) between 0 and 1100min-1 (low gear), or 0
and 2800min-1 (high gear)
• Rotate Speed Control Dial (8) to adjust the speed as indicated on the Trigger Switch
• Direction control
• The direction of the drill can be changed using the Forward/Reverse Selector (5)
• To run the drill in a clockwise direction, push the Forward/Reverse Selector to the right
• To run the drill in an anti-clockwise direction, push the Forward/Reverse Selector to the left
• DO NOT attempt to move the Forward/Reverse Selector while the drill is running
• DO NOT attempt to run the drill with the Forward/Reverse Selector in mid-position
Hammer selection
• The drill can be used in either hammer drill mode (for masonry work) or normal drill mode (for
wood, metal etc)
• To select hammer drilling mode, Move the Hammer Selection Switch (4) to the right
• To select rotary drilling mode, Move the Hammer Selection Switch to the left
• DO NOT attempt to move the Hammer Selection Switch whilst the drill is running
6
Gear selection
• The drill is equipped with 2 gears. This allows you to select the correct gear to match the task
to be performed. Low gear (0-1100min-1) is more suitable for low speed tasks that require
high torque including driving screws and fasteners or drilling harder materials. High gear
(0-2800min-1) is more suitable for normal drilling. If the task to be performed does not require
speeds above 1100min-1, use the low gear, as this will reduce the load on the motor
• To select gears, rotate the Gear Selection Switch (3). Align the mark on the drill casing with the
relevant marking on the switch (I for low gear, 2 for high gear)
• DO NOT attempt to change the gear selection when the drill is running
• DO NOT attempt to run the drill with the selection switch in a mid-position
Note: If the Gear Selection Switch is difficult to move when new, disconnect the drill from the mains
supply and fully depress the Trigger Switch then push down on the Gear Selection Switch as you
turn it to the required gear.
Depth stop
1. Fit a drill bit into the Chuck (1)
2. Insert the Depth Stop Rod (11) into the Side Handle (10)
3. Choose the depth required and set the Depth Stop Rod at this position so the drill bit can drill
only to the chosen depth
4. Tighten the Depth Stop Knob (2) to lock the rod at the required position
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well as
suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
Note: The drill features fan cooling of the motor. Ensure the two Fan Cooling Slots (9) are kept
clean at all times and there is no possibility of any debris entering either slot and damaging the fan
mechanism. If the tool becomes very hot, allow to cool and then run the drill with no load in high
gear for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor.
Switching on and off
WARNING:
• To start the drill, squeeze the Trigger Switch (7)
• The speed of the drill can be adjusted by varying the pressure on the Trigger Switch to the
maximum set by the Speed Control Dial (8)
• To stop the drill, release the Trigger Switch
Using the lock on button
• The drill is equipped with a Lock On Button (6). This allows the Trigger Switch (7) to be locked into
the 'On' position for tasks that require extended continuous running
• To use the Lock On function, fully depress the Trigger Switch and then press in the Lock On Button
• While in the locked position, the speed may be varied using the Speed Control Dial (8) To unlock,
fully depress and then release the Trigger Switch
Drilling concrete
• Using hammer drill mode, apply pressure to the rear of the drill, in line with the drill bit
• For efficient drilling, it is advisable to use TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) drill bits. Ensure that the
drill bit size is within the maximum capacity of the drill (see Specification)
• Do not apply too much pressure if debris blocks the drill hole. Run the drill slowly, and remove
the bit from the hole. Repeat until hole is cleared
Drilling wood
• Use rotary drill mode only
• Ensure that drill bits are suitable for wood, and are within the maximum capacity of this drill (see
Specification)
Drilling metal
• To ensure accuracy, mark the intended hole position using a hammer and centre punch
• Use rotary drill mode only
• Ensure that drill bits are suitable for the grade of metal being drilled and are within the
maximum capacity of the drill (see Specification)
• To ensure efficient cutting, and prolong drill bit life, use a suitable lubricant/cutting fluid
WARNING: Applying excess pressure does not result in faster or more efficient drilling. If
the pressure applied to the drill has a noticeable effect on the speed of the drill then reduce the
pressure. Overloading the drill will reduce its service life. As the drill bit penetrates the material
being drilled, it may 'catch' or 'snag'. This can cause the machine to 'kick' suddenly. To prevent
injury, always hold the drill securely, use the side handle, and use sharp drill bits.
Always ensure that material is secure. If appropriate, use a vice or clamp to hold the work. Always
keep two hands on the drill.
