4) Use and maintenance of the power tool
a) Do not force the power tool. Use a power tool suitable for the work you are about
to perform. The proper power tool will perform the task better and safer if used at
the correct feed rate.
b) Never use the power tool if the power switch does not switch the tool on and
off properly. All power tools that cannot be controlled by the power switch are
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug the lead from the wall socket or remove the battery before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing the power tool. These precautions
reduce the risk of the power tool starting unexpectedly.
d) Store power tools that are not being used out of children’s reach. Do not allow
people who are unfamiliar with the tool or its functions to operate the tool.
Power tools can be dangerous if they fall into the hands of inexperienced users.
e) Maintaining power tools. Check for any incorrect settings, parts that catch,
broken parts or anything else which may cause the power tool to malfunction.
If something is damaged it must be repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp blades are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, and any accessories in accordance with these instructions,
take into consideration the working conditions and the work that is to be
performed. Using the power tool for a purpose other than that for which it is
intended could result in a dangerous situation.
5) Service
a) Repairs and service should only be performed by qualified tradesmen, and only with
original spare parts. This guarantees that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Specific Safety Regulations for Rotary Hammers
• Always wear hearing protection when hammer drilling. Exposure to excessive
noise can cause hearing loss.
•
NOTE:
The previous warning only applies to hammer drilling and can be excluded
for other types of drilling.
• Always use an auxiliary handle if one is supplied. Loss of control over the power
tool can cause personal injury.
• Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or the power
tool’s own mains lead. Cutting accessories which contact “live” wires may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
• Never use chisels which are designed for chiselling without rotation in the rotary
hammer mode. The chisel could jam and cause you to lose control of the rotary
hammer.
• Use gloves when handling chisels and other accessories. Accessories can become
hot during use and can cause burns.
