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

• 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
6
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
• 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.
