● 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
GB
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 ope-
ration. 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 ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations diffe-
rent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Service
● Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed re-
pair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
HAMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
● Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
● Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
● Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting ac-
cessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may ma-
ke exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
● Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance. Contact with electric lines
can lead to fi re and electric shock. Damaging a gas
line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
● When working with the machine, always hold it fi rm-
ly 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 secure
than by hand.
● Always wait until the machine has come to a com-
plete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can
jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fi tted with
a BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse
(ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fi tted in its
place by an authorised customer service agent. The
replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as
the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a pos-
sible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a
mains socket elsewhere.

Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30
mA or less.
ASSEMBLY
AUXILIARY HANDLE
● Operate your machine only with the auxiliary handle
7. The auxiliary handle 7 can be set to any position
for a secure and low-fatigue working posture.
Loosen the knurled nut 8, rotate the auxiliary handle 7
around the axis of the machine to the required position
and tighten the knurled nut 8 again.
The auxiliary handle 7 can be mounted to a different
position. For this, completely unscrew the knurled nut 8
and then pull out the hexagon bolt upward. Pull off the
auxiliary handle 7 to the side and turn around the re-
maining clamping element by 180°. Mount the auxiliary
handle 7 in reverse order.
CHANGING THE TOOL
● Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
With the SDS-max tool holder, simpler and easier tool
changing is possible without additional aids.
The dust protection cap 1 largely prevents the entry of
drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When
inserting the tool, take care that the dust protection cap
1 is not damaged.
● A damaged dust protection cap should be changed
immediately.
We recommend having this carried out by an after-
sales service.
Inserting (see fi gure A)
Clean and lightly grease the shank end of the tool.
Insert the tool in a twisting manner into the tool holder
until it latches itself.
Check the latching by pulling the tool.
Removing (see fi gure B)
Push back the locking sleeve 2 and remove the tool.
DUST/CHIP EXTRACTION
● Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coa-
tings, some wood types, minerals and metal can be
harmful to one's health. Touching or breathing-in the
dusts can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to re-
spiratory infections of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are consi-
dered as carcinogenic, especially in connection with
wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood preserva-
tive). Materials containing asbestos may only be wor-
ked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 fi lter-class respira-
tor.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
