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 tool’s 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.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage range only. Always check that 

the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 220–240 V AC 

means your tool will operate on alternating current. Operation at a voltage outside 

this range can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All D

Extension Cords

CAUTION: 

Use only extension cords that are approved by the country’s 

Electrical Authority. Before using extension cords, inspect them for loose or 

exposed wires, damaged insulation and defective fittings. Replace the cord if 

necessary.

Additional Safety Warnings for Demolition Hammers

 • 

Wear ear protectors.

 Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

 • 

Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.

 Loss of control can cause 

personal injury. 

 • 

Hold power tools 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.

 • 

Be certain that the material being drilled does not conceal electric or 

gas service and that their locations have been verified with the utility 

companies.

 • 

Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times.

 Do not attempt to operate this tool 

without holding it with both hands. Operating this tool with one hand will result 

in loss of control. Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as 

re-bar may be hazardous as well. Tighten the side handle securely before use.

 • 

Ensure the chisel is secured in place before operating the tool.

  •  In cold-weather conditions or when the tool has not been used for a longer 

period of time, let the tool run with no load for several minutes before use.

 • 

When working above ground level ensure the area below is clear.

 • 

Do not touch the chisel or the parts close to the chisel immediately after 

operation, as they may be extremely hot and cause burns to the skin.

 • 

Always direct the power cable to the rear, away from the chisel.

 • 

Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. 

Vibration caused by ham-

mer action may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide 

extra cushion and limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods. 

  •  Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. 

Loose clothes, 

jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

WARNING: 

We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual 

current rating of 30mA or less.
