will reduce personal injuries.   

12. 

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.   

13. 

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. 

14. 

Do  not  overreach.  Keep  proper  footing  and 
balance  at  all  times.

 This enables better control 

of the power tool in unexpected situations. 

15. 

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. 

16. 

If  devices  are  provided  for  the  connection  of 
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure 
these are connected and properly used.

 Use of 

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. 

Power tool use and care 

17. 

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. 

18. 

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. 

19. 

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. 

20. 

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. 

21. 

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. 

22. 

Keep  cutting  tools  sharp  and  clean.

  Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 
are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 

23. 

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. 

Battery tool use and care 

24. 

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. 

25. 

Use  power  tools  only  with  specifically 
designated  battery  packs.

  Use  of  any  other 

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. 

26. 

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 together may cause burns or a fire. 

27. 

Under  abusive  conditions,  liquid  may  be 
ejected  from  the  battery;  avoid  contact.  If 
contact  accidentally  occurs,  flush  with  water. 
If  liquid  contacts  eyes,  additionally  seek 
medical help.

 Liquid ejected from the battery may 

cause irritation or burns. 

Service 

28. 

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. 

29. 

Follow  instruction  for  lubricating  and 
changing accessories. 

30. 

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and 
grease. 

GEB046-2 

CORDLESS ROTARY HAMMER 
SAFETY WARNINGS 

1. 

Wear  ear  protectors.

  Exposure  to  noise  can 

cause hearing loss. 

2. 

Use  auxiliary  handle(s),  if  supplied  with  the 
tool.

 Loss of control can cause personal injury. 

3. 

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, 
when  performing  an  operation  where  the 
cutting  accessory  may  contact  hidden  wiring.

 

Cutting  accessory  contacting  a  "live"  wire  may 
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" 
and could give the operator an electric shock. 

4. 

Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses 
and/or  face  shield.  Ordinary  eye  or  sun 
glasses  are  NOT  safety  glasses.  It  is  also 
highly  recommended  that  you  wear  a  dust 
mask and thickly padded gloves. 

5. 

Be  sure  the  bit  is  secured  in  place  before 
operation.
