Additional safety warnings
1.
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 recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly
padded gloves.
2.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before
operation.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.

sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
6.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7.
Keep hands away from moving parts.

only when hand-held.
9.
Do not point the tool at any one in the area
when operating. The bit could fly out and
injure someone seriously.
10.
Do not touch the bit, parts close to the bit, or
workpiece immediately after operation; they
may be extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
11.
Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
12.
Always be sure that the tool is switched
off and the battery cartridge and the bit are
removed before handing the tool to other
person.
13.
Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the working area.
Otherwise, the
drill bit/chisel may touch them, resulting an electric
shock, electrical leakage or gas leak.
14.
Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
