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.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection.
Hammering operations cause
chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage. Wear a dust
mask or respirator for applications that generate dust. Ear protection may be
required for most applications.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by
hammer action may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide
extra cushion and limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
• Do not recondition bits yourself.
Chisel reconditioning should be done by an
authorized specialist. Improperly reconditioned chisels could cause injury.
• Wear gloves when operating tool or changing bits.
Accessible metal parts
on the tool and bits may get extremely hot during operation. Small bits of
broken material may damage bare hands.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete stop.
Moving
bits could cause injury.
• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge them.
Fragments of
metal or material chips could dislodge and cause injury.
• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened by grinding.
• Keep the power cord away from the bit. Do not wrap the cord around any
part of your body.
An electric cord wrapped around a bit may cause electric
shock.
WARNING: ALWAYS
use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
