ROTARY HAMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety instructions for all operations
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 the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits with
rotary hammers
1.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit
tip in contact with the workpiece.
At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
2.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure.
Bits can
bend, causing breakage or loss of control, resulting
in personal injury.
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
recommended 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.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be 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.
8.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
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 inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.
12.
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
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.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Switch action (Fig. 1 & 2)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
“OFF” position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed
is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous
operation, pull the switch trigger, push in the lock button
and then release the switch trigger. To stop the tool from
the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then
release it.
Lighting up the lamps (Fig. 3)
For Model HR2631F, HR2631FT
CAUTION:
• Do not look in the light or see the source of light
directly.
To turn on the lamp, pull the trigger. Release the trigger
to turn it off.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be
careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower
the illumination.
• Do not use thinner or gasoline to clean the lamp. Such
solvents may damage it.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 4 & 5)
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
For Model HR2631F, HR2631FT, HR2320T, HR2630,
HR2630T
CAUTION:
• If the switch trigger can not be depressed, check to see
that the reversing switch is fully set to position
(A
side) or
(B side).
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the
position (A side) for clockwise rotation or to the
position (B side) for counterclockwise rotation.
For Model HR2641
NOTE:
• When you operate the tool in counterclockwise
rotation, the switch trigger is pulled only halfway and
the tool runs at half speed. For counterclockwise
rotation, you cannot push in the lock button.
