General Safety Rules

WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal

injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified elec-

trician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user. Applicable only to Class I (grounded) tools.

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polar­ized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Applicable only

to Class II (double insulated) tools.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• Don’t 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 to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords imme­diately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num­ber, the heavier the cord.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury,

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your fin-
ger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable plat­form. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to a loss of con-

trol.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer and the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any 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 the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other con-
dition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another
tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Additional Safety Rules for Hammer Drills

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed

metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering and drilling operations cause chips
to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.

• Wear ear protectors when hammering for extended periods of time. Temporary hearing loss
or serious ear drum damage may result from high sound levels generated by hammer drilling.

• Always use the side handle supplied with the tool. Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times.
Do not attempt to operate this tool without holding it with both hands.

• Do not overreach while operating the tool. Maintain a balanced working stance at all times.
When necessary, use only properly positioned, safe, platforms and scaffolding. WORK SAFE.

• Hammer bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when touching them.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during use. Under some con-

ditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH ANY METALPARTS OF THE TOOL when drilling or driving into

walls, floors or wherever live electrical wires may be encountered! Hold the tool only by insu­lated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you drill or drive into a live wire.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con-

struction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc­tive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscop­ic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote

absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and

permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

Side Handle

CAUTION: Always use side handle when provided and hold hammerdrill with both hands. A

side handle is supplied with this hammerdrill. It clamps to the front of the gear case as shown in
Figure 1 and can be rotated 360˚ to permit right or left hand use.

Switch (Fig. 2)

To start hammerdrill, depress the trigger switch (A). To stop hammerdrill, release the switch. To
lock the trigger switch in the ON position for continuous operation, depress the trigger switch and
push up the

locking button

(B). The tool will continue to run. To turn the tool OFF, from a locked
ON condition, squeeze and release the trigger once. Before using the tool (each time), be sure that
the locking button release mechanism is working freely.

Do not lock the switch ON when drilling by hand so that you can instantly release the trigger switch
if the bit binds in the hole. The locking button is for use only when the hammerdrill is mounted in a
drill press stand or other wise held stationary. Be sure to release the locking mechanism before
disconnecting the plug from the power supply. Failure to do so will cause the hammerdrill to start
immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage or injury could result.

The

variable speed trigger switch

permits speed control. The farther the trigger switch is

depressed, the higher the speed of the hammerdrill.
NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch, drilling in metal, plastics or

ceramics, or driving screws. Higher speeds are better for drilling in wood and composition board
and for using abrasive and polishing accessories.

The reversing lever (C) is used to reverse the hammerdrill for backing out screws or jammed bits.
It is located above the trigger, shown. To reverse the hammerdrill, turn it OFF and push the
reversing lever to the left (when viewed from the chuck end). To position the lever for forward
operation, turn the hammerdrill OFF and push the lever to the right.

Hammer/Drill Selector

To switch the tool from the drilling mode to the hammering mode (or vice-versa) rotate the dial on
the applicable symbol shown in Figure 3. For straight drilling, align the drill bit symbol toward the

chuck. For hammering, align the hammer symbol with the lever, as shown in the figure. NOTE:
The selector must be in either drill, or hammer/drill mode at all times. There are no operable
positions between the two.

Chuck

To insert bit,

open chuck jaws by turning collar with fingers and insert shank of bit about 3/4"
(19mm) into chuck. Tighten chuck collar by hand. Place chuck key in each of the three holes and
tighten in clockwise direction. It’s important to tighten chuck with all three holes.

To release bit,

turn chuck key counterclockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.

Operation

DRILLING

1. Always unplug the drill when attaching or changing bits or accessories.

2. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use the twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole

saws. For METAL, use the steel twist drill bits or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as brick,
cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling.

3. Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a

wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the material.

4. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting,

but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.

5. Hold tool firmly to control the twisting action of the drill.

6. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE

TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO
NOT CLICK TRIGGER OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL —
THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.

7. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit

through the last fractional part of the hole.

8. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent

jamming.

9. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow

speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is deep
enough to drill without the bit skipping out.

DRILLING IN METAL

Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. A
smooth even flow of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant when
drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting
lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil; bacon-grease will also serve the
purpose.

NOTE: Large (5/16” to 1/2”) holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32” to 3/16”) is
drilled first.

DRILLING IN WOOD

Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool.
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat
unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. Work that is apt to splinter should be
backed up with a block of wood.

DRILLING IN MASONRY

When drilling in masonry, use carbide tipped bits rated for percussion drilling and be certain that
the bit is sharp. Ensure that the hammer mode is selected. Use a constant and firm force on the
tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.

Depth Rod

To adjust the depth rod, loosen the handle and move rod so that the distance between the end of
the rod and the end of the bit equals the desired drilling depth. When drilling with depth rod, stop
when end of rod reaches surface of material.

Maintenance

CLEANING & LUBRICATION

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never
immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Self-lubricating bearings are used in the tool and periodic relubrication is not required. In the
unlikely event that service is ever needed, take your tool to an authorized service location.

Règles de sécurité – Généralités

AVERTISSEMENT! LIRE ET COMPRENDRE TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES, car le non­respect des directives suivantes peut entraîner un choc électrique, un incendie ou des
blessures graves.

CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES

ZONE DE TRAVAIL

• Garder la zone de travail propre et bien éclairée; les établis encombrés et les endroits som-

bres sont propices aux accidents.

• Ne pas utiliser les outils électriques dans une atmosphère explosive, comme à proximité de

liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables; le moteur peut créer des étincelles et enflam­mer les vapeurs ou les poussières environnantes.

FIG. 2

• Tenir les enfants, les visiteurs ou toute autre personne à l’écart lorsqu’on utilise un outil

électrique; les distractions peuvent faire perdre la maîtrise de ce dernier.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ - ÉLECTRICITÉ

• Les outils mis à la terre doivent être branchés dans une prise bien installée et mise à la
terre conformément à tous les codes et règlements en vigueur. Ne jamais retirer la broche
de terre ni modifier la fiche. Ne pas utiliser d'adaptateur. Vérifier auprès d'un électricien qual-

ifié en cas de doute quant à la mise à la terre de la prise. En cas de défaillance électrique ou de
bris de l'outil, la mise à la terre procure un chemin de faible résistance au courant qui autrement
traverserait l'utilisateur. Cette protection ne s’applique qu’aux outils de classe I (mis à la terre).

• Les outils à double isolation sont munis d’une fiche polarisée (c’est-à-dire que l’une des
lames est plus large que l’autre), laquelle ne peut être raccordée qu’à une prise polarisée et ce,
dans un seul sens; on doit l’inverser si on est incapable de l’enfoncer complètement. Si la fiche
ne s’adapte toujours pas, on doit demander à un électricien qualifié d’installer la prise appropriée.
On ne doit jamais modifier la fiche. La double isolation élimine le besoin d’installer un cordon d’al­imentation trifilaire et un système d’alimentation électrique pourvus d’une mise à la terre; seuls
les outils de classe II (à double isolation) sont munis d’une telle protection.

• Éviter tout contact entre le corps et les éléments mis à la terre, comme les tuyaux, les radi-
ateurs, les cuisinières et les réfrigérateurs, afin de réduire les risques de choc électrique.

• Ne pas utiliser l’outil électrique dans des endroits mouillés, ni l’exposer à la pluie; l’infil­tration d’eau à l’intérieur de l’outil augmente les risques de choc électrique.

• Ne pas utiliser le cordon de manière abusive; on ne doit pas transporter l’outil en le tenant par
le cordon, ou utiliser ce dernier pour le débrancher. On doit tenir le cordon à l’écart des sources
de chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants ou des pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement
les cordons endommagés, car ces derniers augmentent les risques de choc électrique.

• Lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique à l’extérieur, on ne doit utiliser que des rallonges
conçues pour cet usage, comme celles de type W-A ou W, afin de réduire les risques de choc
électrique. Si on utililse une rallonge, s’assurer d’en choisir une qui soit en mesure de porter le
courant nécessaire à l’outil. Une rallonge de calibre inférieur entraînera une chute de tension se
traduisant par une perte de puissance et une surchauffe. Le tableau ci-dessous illustre les cali­bres que l’on doit utiliser selon la longueur de la rallonge et l’intensité nominale indiquée sur la
plaque signalétique. En cas de doute, utiliser le calibre suivant. Plus le calibre est petit, plus la
rallonge peut porter de courant.

SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE

• Rester vigilant en tout temps et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’on utilise un outil élec­trique; ne pas utiliser l’outil lorsqu’on est fatigué ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de

médicaments, car un moment d’inattention peut entraîner des blessures graves.

• Porter des vêtements appropriés; ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Couvrir ou
attacher les cheveux longs. Garder les cheveux, les vêtements, les bijoux et les gants éloignés
des pièces mobiles, car ceux-ci peuvent s’y coincer.

• Éviter les démarrages accidentels; s’assurer que l’interrupteur soit en position d’arrêt avant de
brancher l’outil. Ne pas transporter l’outil en laissant le doigt sur l’interrupteur ni le brancher
lorsque l’interrupteur est en position de marche, car cela pourrait causer un accident.

• Retirer les clés de réglage avant de démarrer l’outil; une clé laissée sur une pièce rotative
peut entraîner des blessures.

• Ne pas trop étendre les bras; les pieds doivent rester ancrés fermement sur le sol afin de main-
tenir son équilibre en tout temps et de mieux maîtriser l’outil dans des situations imprévues.

• Utiliser le matériel de sécurité approprié; toujours porter des lunettes de protection. Porter un
masque anti-poussières, des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des pro­tecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert.

UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DE L’OUTIL

• Fixer et soutenir l’ouvrage sur une plate-forme stable au moyen d’un étau ou de tout autre
dispositif semblable; l’ouvrage est instable lorsqu’on le retient manuellement ou qu’on l’appuie

contre le corps, ce qui peut faire perdre la maîtrise de l’outil.

• Ne pas forcer l’outil ni l’utiliser pour des travaux autres que ceux pour lesquels il a été
conçu. Pour obtenir de meilleurs résultats et prévenir les risques de blessure, laisser l’outil
couper à la vitesse pour laquelle il a été conçu.

• Ne pas utiliser l’outil lorsque l’interrupteur marche-arrêt ne fonctionne pas; tout outil qui ne
peut être commandé au moyen de l’interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.

• Débrancher l’outil avant d’effectuer un réglage, de changer les accessoires ou de ranger
l’outil; ces mesures de sécurité préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel.

• Lorsqu’on n’utilise pas l’outil, le ranger hors de la portée des enfants ou des personnes
non qualifiées; les outils sont dangereux entre les mains de personnes inexpérimentées.

• Bien entretenir l’outil et s’assurer qu’il soit toujours bien propre et aiguisé; les outils bien
entretenus et dont les bords sont bien tranchants sont moins susceptibles de rester coincés et
sont plus faciles à maîtriser.

• Vérifier les pièces mobiles afin de s’assurer qu’elles soient bien alignées et qu’elles ne
restent pas coincées; vérifier également les pièces afin de s’assurer qu’il n’y ait ni bris ni aucune
autre condition susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil; faire réparer l’outil si ce
dernier est endommagé avant de s’en servir à nouveau, car les accidents sont souvent causés
par des outils mal entretenus.

• N’utiliser que les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant pour le modèle concerné; un
accessoire destiné à un outil particulier peut devenir dangereux lorsqu’il est utilisé avec un autre.

ENTRETIEN

• L’outil doit être entretenu par le personnel qualifié seulement; toute maintenance effectuée
par une personne non qualifiée peut entraîner des risques de blessure.

• Lors de l’entretien, n’utiliser que des pièces de rechange identiques et suivre les directives
de la section «Entretien» du présent manuel afin de prévenir les risques de choc électrique ou
de blessure.

Règles de sécurité additionnelles - Marteau perforateur

• Tenir l’outil par les surfaces isolées prévues à cette fin lorsque l’outil risque d’entrer en
contact avec des fils cachés ou le cordon, car de tels contacts peuvent mettre les pièces

métalliques de l’outil sous tension, engendrant des risques de choc électrique.

• Porter des lunettes de sécurité ou autre dispositif de protection oculaire car le martelage
et le perçage peuvent faire projeter des particules en l’air et entraîner des dommages
irréversibles aux yeux.
