 Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the pow-
er tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could re-
sult in a hazardous situation.
Service
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-
pair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Hammer Safety Warnings
 Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.

Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
 Hold 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.
 Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted
with a BS 1363/A approved electric plug with inter-
nal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in
its place by an authorised customer service agent.
The replacement plug should have the same fuse
rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard and should never be insert-
ed into a mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual
current device (RCD) with a rated residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Additional Safety and Working In-
structions
 Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the
power source must correspond with the data on
the type plate of the machine.
 Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the local
utility company for assistance. Contact with elec-
tric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damag-
ing a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a
water line causes property damage.

Firmly tighten the auxiliary handle, hold the ma-
chine firmly with both hands while working and
keep proper footing and balance at all times. The
machine is securely guided with both hands.

Select the correct operating mode and the suita-
ble application tool for the material to be worked.
 Insert the SDS-max application tool: Check the
latching by pulling the tool.

Replace a damaged dust protection cap immedi-
ately. The dust protection cap largely prevents the
penetration of drilling dust into the tool holder dur-
ing operation. When inserting the tool, pay atten-
tion that the dust protection cap is not damaged.
 Dust from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal
can be harmful to one’s health and cause allergic
reactions, lead to respiratory infections and/or
cancer. Materials containing asbestos may only be
worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system
suitable for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class res-
pirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for
the materials to be worked.
 If the application tool should become blocked,
switch the machine off. Loosen the application
tool.
 Before switching on the power tool, make sure
that the application tool moves freely. When
switching on with a blocked drilling tool, high
torque reaction can occur.
 To save energy, only switch the power tool on when
using it.

Always wait until the machine has come to a com-
plete stop before placing it down. The tool insert
can jam and lead to loss of control over the power
tool.
