they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Recommendations for the use of a residual current device

Before breaking into walls, floors etc, ensure there are no concealed power cables or
pipes in the cavity.

Keep the cord clear of the accessory being used, do not wrap the cord around your
arm or wrist.
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
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.
Use hearing protection.
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, and;
• 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.
Special requirements:
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
