SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. 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.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges or refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. 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.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. 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 personal injury.

2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

connecting to the power supply.

4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL

INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/

OR SERIOUS INJURY. THE TERM “POWER TOOL” IN ALL WARNINGS LISTED

BELOW REFERS TO YOUR HAMMER DRILL.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

1. 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 which it was designed.

2. 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.

3. Disconnect the power before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. Store idle 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.

5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Poorly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions

and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking

into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of

the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

SERVICE

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

SELECTING THE OPERATING MODE

HAMMER ACTION SELECTOR

1. With the drill not operating, set the

hammer action selector to the

required setting.

• Left - Hammer Assisted Drilling

• Right - Drill Only

IMPORTANT: When using the

“hammer action” you only need to

apply light pressure. Too much pressure will place unnecessary load on the

motor. Check the drill bits regularly, re-sharpen or replace if required.

ROTATION ON/OFF SELECTOR

Some jobs require the chuck to

remain stationary yet still have the

hammer effect, such as chiselling

concrete, plaster etc.

• Set the rotation selector to the

right for “no rotation”.

• Set the rotation selector to the

left for “normal rotation”.

CAUTION: THESE OPERATIONS SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED WHEN THE

DRILL IS AT A COMPLETE STOP.
