5. Do not use the drill as a screwdriver.
6. Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.

your power tool and that it is in a safe electrical condition.
9. Ensure your supply voltage is the same as your tool rating plate voltage.
10. Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against a possible electrical insulation
failure within the tool.
11. Always check walls and ceilings to avoid hidden power cables and pipes.

SAFETY RULES FOR HAMMER DRILLS cont.
6.
Maintain a firm grip
on the hammer drill to resist starting torque.
7.
Wear safety goggles or other eye protection.
Hammering and drilling operations
cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.
8.
Wear ear protectors when hammering for extended periods
of time. Temporary
hearing loss or serious ear drum damage may result from high sound levels generated
by hammer drilling.
9.
ALWAYS use the side handle supplied with the tool.
Keep a firm grip on the tool at
all times.
Do not attempt
to operate this tool without holding it with both hands.
10. Do not overreach while operating the tool. Maintain a balanced working stance at all
times. When necessary, use only properly positioned, safe, platforms and scaffolding.
WORK SAFELY.
11.
Hammer drill bits and tools get hot
during operation. Wear gloves when touching
them.
CAUTION:
DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL
when drilling
or driving into walls, floors or wherever tool could drill into hidden wiring. Hold the tool
only by insulated grasping surfaces to prevent electric shock if you drill or drive into a
live wire.
!
CAUTION:
Wear appropriate hearing protection during use.
Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
!
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products.
• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes,
or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
