Personal Safety
1.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or med
-
ication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewel
-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
1.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
2.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 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.
5.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
1.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.
Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
3.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

ROTARY HAMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
1.
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
2.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3.
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.
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 recommended that
you wear a dust mask and thickly padded gloves.
5.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation.
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.
