In this event quickly release the trigger which will help prevent injury and reduce wear on the
safety-clutch mechanism.
After the safety clutch has activated, completely recheck all equipment is correctly set up and the
drill bit or core drill is not badly worn or damaged. It may be necessary to work at a slower rate. In
some instances you may find the drill is not suitable especially if using large core drills.
WARNING: Do not rely on the safety clutch. Always configure your equipment for safe use so that
the safety clutch will not operate.
Drilling wood and metal
Attaching the Keyed Chuck
A conventional 13mm (1/2") keyed chuck is supplied with this product.
To attach the Keyed Chuck (18):
1. Screw the SDS Plus Arbor (16) to the Keyed Chuck (18) (Fig. I)
2. Screw the Arbor Screw (20) through the Chuck into the Arbor (16) (Fig. II)
Note: the Arbor Screw has a left handed thread and therefore will tighten by turning anticlockwise
and slacken turning clockwise.
3. Insert the chuck assembly into the SDS Plus Chuck (1)
4. Insert a conventional drill bit for either wood or metal into the Chuck and tighten the Chuck with
the Chuck Key (17). See specification for maximum drilling capacity in wood and metal
CAUTION: The keyed chuck is not for masonry bits and will be damaged if used in hammer mode.
Always use SDS Plus masonry bits fitted directly into the SDS Plus Chuck for masonry use.
Drilling Wood
• Use rotary drill mode only
• Ensure drill bits are suitable for wood and are within the maximum capacity of this drill
Drilling Metal
• Use rotary drill mode only
• To ensure accuracy, mark the intended hole position using a hammer and centre punch
• Ensure drill bits are suitable for the grade of metal being drilled, and are within the maximum
capacity of the drill
• To ensure efficient cutting, and prolong drill bit life, use a suitable lubricant/cutting fluid
CAUTION: Applying excess pressure does not result in faster or more efficient drilling. If the
pressure applied to the drill has a noticeable effect on the speed of the drill then reduce the
pressure. Overloading the drill will reduce its service life.
• As the drill bit penetrates the material being drilled, it may 'catch' or 'snag'. This can cause the
machine to suddenly 'kick', to prevent any possibility of injury always hold the drill securely, use
the auxiliary handle, and use sharp drill bits
• Always ensure material is secure. If appropriate use a vice or clamp to hold the work, always keep
two hands on the drill
