For Your Safety

Read all instructions. Failure to fol-
low all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injury.
Additionally, the general safety instructions either
in the enclosed booklet or those added in the
centre of these operating instructions must be ob-
served.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
When working with the machine, always
hold it firmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is guided
more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
securely than by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Material mix-
tures are particularly dangerous. Dust of light
metal can be inflammable or explode.
Do not work materials containing asbes-
tos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Take protective measures when dust can
develop during working that is harmful to
one's health, combustible or explosive. Ex-
ample: Some dusts are regarded as carcino-
genic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/
chip extraction when connectable.
Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Do not use a machine with a damaged
mains cable. Do not touch the damaged ca-
ble and pull the mains plug when the cable
is damaged while working. Damaged cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
Connect machines that are used in the
open via a residual current device (RCD).
11 • 2 609 001 316 • TMS • 08.07.05
Wear hearing protection when working
with impact drills. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
Always use the auxiliary handle supplied
with the machine. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
Use suitable detectors to determine if util-
ity lines are hidden in the work area or call
the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
Switch off the power tool immediately
when the tool insert jams. Be prepared for
high reaction torque which causes kick-
back. The tool insert jams when:
– the power tool is subject to overload or
– it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an op-
eration where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own power cord. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock
the operator.

Intended Use

The machine is intended for impact drilling in
brick, concrete and stone as well as for drilling in
wood, metal, ceramics and plastics. Machines
with electronic control and right/left rotation are
also suitable for screwdriving and thread-cutting.
Drilling into metal, plastic or wood with the extrac-
tion device mounted is not permitted, as this can
easily clog the extraction device.
Dust Extraction (see figure
Dust produced while impact drilling can be
harmful to one's health. Use the dust extrac-
tion and wear a dust respirator.
The extraction device 10 is optimised for work
in concrete, bricks and brick work. Wood or
plastic chips can easily lead to clogging.
