WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.
GEB046-2
CORDLESS ROTARY HAMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1.
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
2.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
4.
Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses
and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses
are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly
padded gloves.
5.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before opera-
tion.
6.
Under normal operation, the tool is designed to
produce vibration. The screws can come loose
easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check
tightness of screws carefully before operation.
7.
In cold weather or when the tool has not been
used for a long time, let the tool warm up for a
while by operating it under no load. This will
loosen up the lubrication. Without proper warm-
up, hammering operation is difficult.
8.
Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
9.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
10. Keep hands away from moving parts.
11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
12. Do not point the tool at any one in the area when
operating. The bit could fly out and injure some-
one seriously.
13. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
