Additional Safety for SDS Plus Drills
WARNING: If you suspect or discover asbestos is present in any area you are working seek
professional advice immediately. Removal of asbestos should be carried out by a licensed
contractor. Contact the HSE in the UK (www.hse.gov.uk) or your national health and safety
authority in your country for further information about dealing with asbestos. European
Directive 2009/148/EC provides additional information related to exposure to asbestos at
work.
• It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning the type of work being
undertaken
• Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool, and ensure that operators
are qualified and familiar with the operating and safety instructions
• Masonry drilling or chiselling can create sharp particles that will impact the operator. Wear
impact-resistant safety glasses and protective clothing, including safety boots
• Core drills should only be used with SDS drills featuring a safety clutch to prevent
jamming, which could cause an injury to the operator
• If the safety clutch operates during use, quickly release the trigger and remove the core
drill or bit from the masonry surface being drilled. Do not continue work until the cause of
the safety clutch operating is understood
• Do not operate SDS drills whilst up a ladder or in any location where there is a risk of
falling. SDS drills are heavy and produce strong vibration and high torque in use
• Wear suitable protective anti-vibration gloves that are non-fabric or coated fabric to prevent
loose strands of material catching in the rotating drill bit. Discard gloves immediately if
material is visibly frayed
• Drilling can produce large volumes of dust and debris that may be toxic. Wear respiratory
protection suitable for the work being undertaken. A minimum rating of FFP2 is
recommended
• SDS drills produce high volumes of noise and suitable ear protection must be worn at all
times while operating the tool
• SDS drills produce a very high level of vibration when operating in hammer or chisel mode.
Frequent breaks are advised
• Only use SDS Chisels or Points with SDS drills that can disengage rotary drilling mode
• Use metal and voltage detectors to locate concealed electric, water or gas lines. Avoid
touching live components or conductors
• Extension cable reels used with this tool must be completely unwound. Minimum
conductor cross section: 1.25mm 2
• Extension reels used outside should be designed for outdoor use and should feature
water-protected sockets and correct cable insulation
• When using an SDS drill outdoors, an RCD device must be used either by connecting to a
socket which incorporates an RCD, or through use of an inline RCD
• Ensure that the chisel or drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck before operating the tool.
Insecure drill bits can be ejected from the machine, causing a hazard
• Ensure lighting is adequate
• Use both hands when operating this tool
• Always use the auxiliary handle supplied with the tool
• Do not place pressure on the tool - to do so could shorten its service life
• Drill bits become hot during operation. Allow to cool prior to handling
• If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process and switch off before
diverting your attention elsewhere
• Always disconnect the SDS drill from the electric supply before changing a chisel or drill bit
• Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have damaged parts repaired
by a qualified service centre
• Always wait until the drill has come to a complete stop before placing it down
• On completion of the work, disconnect the tool from the power source and remove the
chisel/bit from the machine
• Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary
• Visibly check the tool after use, especially the power cable, which can be damaged by
sharp masonry
• Always fit the dust guard to the bit in use to prevent damage from debris entering the SDS
chuck
• If operating the tool causes discomfort in any way, stop immediately and review your
method of use
Additional Safety for Battery-Operated Drills
WARNING: Important: It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning
installation, operation and maintenance.
a) DO NOT allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool, and ensure that
operators are qualified and familiar with the operating and safety instructions
b) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss
c) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal
injury
d) Hold 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
e) Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply and charger
are protected against moisture at all times
f) When using the drill, use safety equipment including safety glasses or shield,
ear defenders, and protective clothing including safety gloves. Wear respiratory
protection suitable for the work being undertaken. A minimum rating of FFP2 is
recommended. If operating the tool causes discomfort in any way, stop immediately and
review your method of use
g) Use metal and voltage detectors to locate concealed electric, water or gas lines.
Avoid touching live components or conductors
h) Ensure that the lighting is adequate
i) Ensure that the drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck. Insecure drill bits can be ejected
from the machine causing a hazard
j) Ensure that the drill bit is not in contact with the workpiece prior to starting up the
tool
k) Before drilling, check that there is sufficient clearance for the drill bit under the
workpiece
l) DO NOT exert pressure on to the tool. To do so would shorten its service life
m) Drill bits get hot during operation, allow to cool prior to handling them
n) NEVER use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the bit
o) If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process and switch off
before looking up
p) Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work
q) Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have damaged parts
repaired by a qualified service centre
r) ALWAYS wait until the drill has come to a complete stop before putting it down
s) Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary
