GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

IMPORTANT! Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term ”power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 the 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 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 extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• 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 personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
• 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in hazardous situations.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person unsung only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Always use common sense

It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you can face. Always exercise care and use your common sense. If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an experienced user. Do not attempt any task that you feel unsure of!

Drill motor safety precautions

This section describes basic safety directions for using the machine. This information is never a substitute for professional skills and experience.
• Please read the operator’s manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using the machine.
• Keep in mind that the operator is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
• All operators shall be trained in the use of the machine. The owner is responsible for ensuring that the operators receive training.
• The machine must be kept clean. Signs and stickers must be fully legible.

Work safety

• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Never start to work with the machine before the working area is clear and you have a firm foothold. Look out for any obstacles with unexpected movement. Ensure that no material can become loose and fall, causing injury when
operating the machine.
• Always check the rear side of the surface where the drill bit will emerge when drilling right through. Secure and cordon off the area and make sure that no one can be injured or material damaged.

Electrical safety

• Never use the tool without the ground fault circuit interrupter delivered with the tool.
• The machine should be connected to an earthed outlet socket.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that stated on the rating plate on the machine.
• Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and in good condition. Never use the machine if any cable or plug is damaged, but hand it in to an authorized service workshop for repair.
• To avoid overheating do not use the extension cord while it is rolled up.
• Do not expose the power tool to rain. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• The power tool should not be exposed to more moisture than what is provided by the water system. The water system cools the drill bit with clean water. Make sure that no drill slurry enters the machine.
• Ensure the cord is behind you when you start to use the machine so that the cord will not be damaged.
• Always unplug the machine during longer work breaks.

Drilling outdoors

• Always use extension cables that are approved for
outdoor use.

Personal safety

• Never allow anyone else to use the machine without first ensuring that they have read and understood the contents of the operator’s manual.
• Remain at a distance from the drill bit when the motor is running. A rotating drill bit can entail a risk of serious injury.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in the area to be drilled.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor running.
• Always unplug the machine during longer work breaks.
• Never work alone, always ensure there is another person close at hand. Apart from being able to receive help to assemble the machine, you can also get help if an accident should occur.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

Use and care

• This machine is ideal for drilling holes in concrete, bricks and various stone materials. It can be used both as a hand-held drill or fitted to a drill stand.
• The machine is intended for use in industrial applications by experienced operators.
• Inspection and/or maintenance should be carried out with the motor switched off and the plug disconnected.
• The machine has a very high torque. This demands good concentration during work, as serious personal injuries can occur if the drill bit suddenly jams.
• Remain at a distance from the drill bit when the motor is running.
• Do not overload the machine. Overloading can damage the machine.
• Keep all parts in good working order and ensure that all fixtures are properly tightened.
• Always switch off the machine before you move it.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a ”live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give the operator an electric shock.

Dry drilling

!
CAUTION! Dust forms when drilling, which can cause injuries if inhaled. Use an
approved breathing mask. Connected the machine to a vacuum cleaner for effective dust management when dry drilling.

Drilling in the ceiling

NOTICE! The air intake must not be covered.

Use a water collector to avoid water penetrating into the machine

Elgard™

NOTICE! Do not repeatedly overload the machine. This can damage the machine.


If the motor is overloaded, the overload protection pulses the motor. Reduce the load and the motor returns to its normal speed.

The overload protection disconnects the power, if the machine is subjected to heavy loads or if the drill bit jams.
Reset the machine by switching it off and then on again.

If the drill bit jams, the mechanical slip clutch protects the gearbox before the overload protection disconnects the power.

Handheld drilling

WARNING! Do not perform handheld drilling in first gear as the machine has a powerful torque that can result in personal injuries should the drill bit jam.

• Always use a drill bit with a max. diameter of 80 mm with handheld drilling. The larger the drill bit the greater the reaction if the drill jams.
• Lock the front pivoting handle firmly in place prior to drilling.
• Never perform handheld drilling from a ladder. Handheld drilling in these situations is full of risks, as the risk of falling is very high if the drill bit jams
.
Stand drilling

• Always use a drilling stand if drilling is to be performed from a ladder or scaffold.
• Make sure that the stand is secured correctly.
• Make sure that the drilling machine is secured correctly in the stand
