6. 

Under  normal  operation,  the  tool  is  designed 
to  produce  vibration.  The  screws  can  come 
loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident. 
Check  tightness  of  screws  carefully  before 
operation. 

7. 

In cold weather or when the tool has not been 
used for a long time, let the tool warm up for a 
while  by  operating  it  under  no  load.  This  will 
loosen  up  the  lubrication.  Without  proper 
warm-up, hammering operation is difficult. 

8. 

Always be sure you have a firm footing. 
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in 
high locations. 

9. 

Hold the tool firmly with both hands. 

10. 

Keep hands away from moving parts. 

11. 

Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool 
only when hand-held. 

12. 

Do  not  point  the  tool  at  any  one  in  the  area 
when  operating.  The  bit  could  fly  out  and 
injure someone seriously. 

13. 

Do  not  touch  the  bit  or  parts  close  to  the  bit 
immediately  after  operation;  they  may  be 
extremely hot and could burn your skin. 

14. 

Some material contains chemicals which may 
be  toxic.  Take  caution  to  prevent  dust 
inhalation  and  skin  contact.  Follow  material 
supplier safety data. 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 

 

WARNING: 

DO  NOT  let  comfort  or  familiarity  with  product 
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence 
to  safety  rules  for  the  subject  product.  MISUSE  or 
failure  to  follow  the  safety  rules  stated  in  this 
instruction  manual  may  cause  serious  personal 
injury.
