Safety Precautions

General Safety: Always keep your work area clean and well-lit. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres. Keep children and bystanders away during operation.

Electrical Safety: Ensure the power tool plug matches the outlet. Do not modify the plug. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces to reduce the risk of electric shock. Use an RCD-protected supply if working in damp locations.

Personal Safety: Stay alert and use common sense. Wear personal protective equipment, including eye and ear protection. Avoid unintentional starting by ensuring the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source.

Operation

• Drilling: Start slowly and gradually increase speed. Apply pressure in a straight line with the drill bit.
• Impact vs. Rotation: Use the impact mode for hard materials. Use rotation-only mode for metal, wood, and plastic to prevent damage to the drill bit.
• Handling: Hold the tool firmly with both hands using the main handle and the auxiliary side handle.

Maintenance and Inspection

• Drill Bits: Replace or resharpen abraded drill bits immediately to maintain efficiency and prevent motor strain.
• Mounting Screws: Regularly inspect all screws and ensure they are properly tightened.
• Motor Maintenance: Keep the motor winding clean and free from oil or water.
• Carbon Brushes: Inspection and replacement of carbon brushes must be performed exclusively by a HiKOKI Authorized Service Center.

Troubleshooting and Disposal

If the drill stalls, release the trigger immediately and remove the bit from the workpiece. Do not repeatedly click the trigger to restart a stalled tool. Dispose of the tool in accordance with local regulations, specifically the European Directive 2012/19/EU for waste electrical and electronic equipment.
