GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warn-
ings 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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
f
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
f
Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam -
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
f
Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
f
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.
f
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
f
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 medi -
cation. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
f
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.
f
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 energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
f
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.
f
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
f
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct pow-
er tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
f
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.
f
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.
f
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
f
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.
f
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could re -
sult in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
f
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
f
Use power tools only with specifically designat -
ed battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
f
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals togeth-
er may cause burns or a fire.
f
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAMMER
f
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
