Safety Notes
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term power tool in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2) Electrical safety a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. 3) Personal safety a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

English | 19 g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. 4) Power tool use and care a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) 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 users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Drills
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. 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 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. Use appropriate 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 fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock. Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque that can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when: the power tool is subject to overload or it becomes wedged in the workpiece. When working with the machine, always hold it firmly 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. Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode. Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.

Noise/Vibration Information
PSB 650 RE PSB 750 RCE PSB 6500 RE PSB 750 RCA PSB 650 RA Measured values determined according to EN 60745. Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are: Sound pressure level Sound power level Uncertainty K= Wear hearing protection! Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745: Drilling into metal: Vibration emission value ah Uncertainty K= Impact drilling into concrete: Vibration emission value ah Uncertainty K= Screwdriving without impact: Vibration emission value ah Uncertainty K= Tapping: Vibration emission value ah Uncertainty K= The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Assembly
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
To achieve optimum extraction results, please observe the following notes: Pay attention that the extraction device faces flush against the workpiece or the wall. This also makes drilling at a right angle easier. When using the extraction device, always work with the maximum speed. After reaching the desired drilling depth, pull the drill bit out of the drill hole first and then switch off the impact drill. Use the extraction device only with the filter element 16 mounted, as otherwise dust/chips could access the interior of the power tool and cause damage. Check the condition of the filter element 16 regularly. Replace a damaged filter element immediately. The dust protection ring 18 can wear, especially when working with large drill-bit diameters. Replace the dust protection ring when worn/damaged. Mounting the Extraction Device (see figure A) Guide the extraction device 11 from the front toward the bottom side of the impact drill. Pay attention that the extraction device 11 faces flush against the casing and that it is locked. Cleaning the Extraction Device (see figures BD) The dust collector 12 is sufficient for approx. 10 drillings with a drilling diameter of 10 mm. When the extraction force diminishes or when the level indicator 13 is full, the dust collector 12 must be emptied. For this, press on the riffled surface of the release button 15 and take off the dust collector 12. Empty and clean the dust collector 12. Clean the filter element 16 by gently striking or tapping against it. Check the filter element 16 for damage and replace it as required. Press on the holder of the filter element 16 and pull it out. Replace the filter element 16 including the holder. When placing on the holder again, make sure that the rubber gasket 17 is inserted.

Dust extraction (PSB 650 RA/ PSB 750 RCA) (see figures A F)
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to ones health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or bystanders. Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists. Use dust extraction whenever possible. Provide for good ventilation of the working place. It is recommended to wear a P2 filterclass respirator. Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked. Use the dust/chip extraction only when working concrete, brick and brickwork. Wood or plastic chips can easily lead to clogging. WARNING Fire hazard! Do not work metallic materials with the extraction device mounted. Hot metal chips can ignite parts of the extraction device.
