they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
• Before using the demolition hammer, ensure there are no concealed power cables or pipes in the
cavity.
• Always use the handles, this gives you greater control if the accessory should become jammed.
• Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the exposure time by taking frequent breaks.
• Vibration caused by the hammer action may be harmful to your hands and arms.
• When removing an accessory from the tool avoid contact with skin and use proper protective gloves
when grasping the bit or accessory. Accessories may be hot after prolonged use.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING!
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contain 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, cement and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber
The risk from such exposures vary 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 specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and when drilling/chiselling
overhead. Sanding particles can be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily and may cause health
complications.
