suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.
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 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.
Service
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.
HAMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
• Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
source must correspond with the data on the type plate
of the machine. Power tools marked with 230/240 V can
also be operated with 220 V.
• 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.
• Firmly tighten the auxiliary handle, hold the machine
firmly with both hands while working and keep proper
footing and balance at all times. The machine is securely
guided with both hands.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
• For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and
plastic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS-
plus are used (e.g., drill bits with cylindrical shank). For
these tools, a keyless chuck or a key type drill chuck are
required.
• The quick change chuck is automatically locked. Check
the locking effect by pulling the quick change chuck.
• Inserting SDS-plus Drilling Tools: Check the latching by
pulling the tool.
• Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
The dust protection cap largely prevents the penetra-
tion of drilling dust into the tool holder during opera-
tion. When inserting the tool, pay attention that the dust
protection cap is not damaged.
• To save energy, only switch the power tool on when
using it.
• Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful
to one’s health and cause allergic reactions, lead to res-
piratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
• As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
• Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
• It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
• Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
• Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
• If the application tool should become blocked, switch
the machine off. Loosen the application tool.
