This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.
WARNING:
To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use
should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the
exposure level over the total working period.
Helping to minimise your vibration and noise exposure risk.
Always use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration and noise accessories.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
