PERSONAL SAFETY
1. ALWAYS wear the approved
eye, ear and respiratory
protection during operation.
Use safety glasses or goggles
which conform to BSEN136 or
CE equivalent that provide protection from the
front and side. It is always the users
responsibility for following accepted eye, face,
respiratory, hearing and body protection.
2. Dress appropriately. Always ensure that all
long hair and loose clothing, ties, scarves,
jewellery, etc., are secured or removed.
3. STAY ALERT! Watch what you
are doing and use common
sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use the tool while
tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. Loss of
concentration while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
4. To Avoid accidental starting be sure the
trigger switch is in the ‘off ’ position before
plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch on is very dangerous.
5. Remove the chuck key before turning the
drill ‘on’. A key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
6. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times to enable better control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
7. Always consult a doctor if numbness, tingling,
pain or whitening of the skin occurs. Repetitive
work motions, awkward positions and exposure
to vibration can cause “Repetitive Strain
Injuries”.
WARNING!
Cement dust becomes a potential health problem when
particles become airborne. Breathing these particles may cause allergic
respiratory symptoms, mucosal & non-allergic respiratory symptoms & cancer.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION!
Always be sure that the tool is switched ‘OFF’ and unplugged before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents may damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain
ammonia.
To ensure safe use and maximise service life of your tool, following instructions should be observed:
1. Regularly inspect all mounting screws and
ensure that they are properly tightened.
2. Regularly clean the tools air vents with
compressed dry air. DO NOT attempt to clean
by inserting pointed objects through openings.
WARNING!
Maintenance and repair work should ONLY be carried out by a
qualified service technician. When servicing a tool, only use spare parts provided by the
manufacturer of the tool.
SERVICING
1. Tool service MUST be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by an unqualified
person could result in a risk of injury and loss of
warranty.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorised parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury and loss of warranty.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
A RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be fitted in the
mains electricity distribution board. If the power supply is not
protected by an RCCB, it is highly recommended that an RCD
(Residual Current Device) is used with all portable electrical products.
PLUG FITTING
A moulded UK 3 pin plug with ASTA/BS approval is already fitted for your
safety. If it becomes damaged, and needs replacing, cut off the plug,
prepare the wires and fit the new plug as shown in this diagram.
EXTENSION REELS
When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before
being connected. Use at least 1.5mm2 section cable or to be absolutely
sure use 2.5mm2section cable.
