Additional Safety Instructions for Hammers
•
WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES or other eye protection.
•
WEAR EAR PROTECTORS when hammering for extended periods.
•
ALWAYS USE THE SIDE HANDLE supplied with the tool. Keep a firm grip on
the hammer when it is operating.
•
DON’T OVERREACH. Maintain a firm, balanced working stance. When neces-
sary, use only properly positioned, safe platforms, ladders and scaffolds, to
do the job safely.
•
Hammer bits and tools get hot in operation. Wear gloves when touching
them.
•
CAUTION: When drilling or driving into walls, floors or wherever “live” electri-
cal wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY FRONT METAL PARTS
OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic handle to prevent shock if you
drill or drive into a “live” wire.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Motor
Your tool is powered by a B&D built motor. Be sure your power supply
agrees with nameplate marking.
Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheat-
ing. All B&D tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the
power supply.
Side Handle (Fig. 1)
ALWAYS OPERATE THE TOOL WITH THE SIDE HANDLE PROPERLY
ASSEMBLED.
1. Snap the steel ring over the collar behind the tool holder. Squeeze both
ends together, mount the bush and insert the pin.
2. Place the side handle, with the narrow end toward the front of the tool,
over the bush and pin.
3. Place the washer over the hole in the side handle,and insert the clamp
knob. Screw in the clamp knob, but do not tighten.
6. Rotate the side handle mounting assembly to the desired position. For
drilling horizontally with a heavy drill bit, place the side handle assembly
at an angle of approximately 20˚ for optimum control.
7. Lock the side handle in place by fully tightening the clamp knob.
Electronic Impact Control (Fig. 2)
The electronic impact control allows you to adjust the impact energy of the
hammer. For optimal control and precise chiseling of light and brittle materi-
als, use a lower setting. A higher setting provides power for harder materials.
