SDS Plus Drill Safety Warnings
WARNING: If you suspect or discover asbestos is present in any area you are working seek
professional advice immediately. Removal of asbestos should be done by a licensed contractor.
Contact the HSE in the UK (www.hse.gov.uk) or your national health and safety authority in your
country for further information about dealing with asbestos. European Directive 2009/148/EC
provides additional information related to exposure to asbestos at work.
• Follow all national safety regulations concerning the type of work being undertaken.Do not allow
anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool.
• Ensure that operators are qualified and familiar with the operating and safety instructions.
• Masonry drilling or chiselling can create sharp particles that will impact the operator. Wear
impact-resistant safety glasses and protective clothing, including safety boots.
• If the safety clutch operates during use, quickly release the trigger and remove the bit from
the masonry surface being drilled. Do not continue work until the cause of the safety clutch
operating is understood.
• Do not operate SDS drills whilst up a ladder or in any location where there is a risk of falling. SDS
drills are heavy and produce strong vibration and high torque in use.
• Wear suitable protective anti-vibration gloves that are non-fabric or coated fabric to prevent
loose strands of material catching in the rotating drill bit. Discard gloves immediately if material
is visibly frayed.
• Drilling can produce large volumes of dust and debris that may be toxic. Wear respiratory
protection suitable for the work being undertaken. A minimum rating of FFP2 is recommended.
• SDS drills produce high levels of noise and suitable ear protection must be worn at all times
while operating the tool.
• SDS drills produce a very high level of vibration when operating in hammer or chisel mode.
Frequent breaks are advised.
• Only use SDS Plus chisels or points with SDS drills that can disengage rotary drilling mode.
• Use metal and voltage detectors to locate concealed electric, water or gas lines. Avoid touching
live components or conductors.
• Extension cable reels used with this tool must be completely unwound. Minimum conductor
cross section: 1.25mm2.
• Extension reels used outside should be designed for outdoor use and should feature water-
protected sockets and correct cable insulation.
• When using an SDS drill outdoors, an RCD device must be used either by connecting to a socket
which incorporates an RCD, or through use of an inline RCD.
• Ensure that the chisel or drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck before operating the tool. Insecure
drill bits can be ejected from the machine, causing a hazard.
• Ensure lighting is adequate.
• Use both hands when operating this tool.
• Do not place pressure on the tool — to do so could shorten its service life.
• Drill bits become hot during operation. Allow to cool prior to handling.
• If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process and switch off before
diverting your attention elsewhere.
• Always disconnect the SDS drill from the electric supply before changing a chisel or drill bit.
• Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have damaged parts repaired by a
qualified technician.
• Always wait until the drill has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
• On completion of the work, disconnect the tool from the power source and remove the chisel/
bit from the machine.
• Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary.
• Check the tool for damage after use, paying special attention to the power cable which can be
damaged by sharp masonry.
• Always fit the dust guard to the bit in use to prevent damage from debris entering the SDS chuck.
• If operating the tool causes discomfort in any way, stop immediately and review your method
of use.
