IMPORTANT: This appliance is not intended
for use by persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
may be different or reduced, or lack of experi-
ence or knowledge, unless such persons are su-
pervised or trained to operate the product by
a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure they do not use
the devices as toys.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct tool will
do the job better and more safely at the rate
that it was designed to work at.
Do not use tools if switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled whith
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories or storing the tool. This preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out
of the reach of children, and do not allow in-
dividuals who are not familiar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained
users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Check for misalignment or bonding of moving
parts, breakage parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If you find
a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Suitable ac-
cessories for one tool, may become hazardous
when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cut-
ting tools in good condition with sharpened
edges, are less likely to stuck in workpieces or
easier to control.
Is recommendable to use a safety device suit-
able, such a thermal and diferential switch
when you are using an electric equipment.
SERVICE
Tool service must be perfomed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could re-
sult in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
HAMMER DRILLS
• Do not put pressure on the drill to the extent
that it slows down the motor. For better re-
sults, and to lengthen the life of the drill, allow
the drill bit to cut without pressure.
• Only use accessories that are in optimal con-
dition.
• Hold the tool by its insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing any operation where
the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make ex-
posed metal parts of the tool “live”, and shock
the operator.
• Check that there is sufficient clearance for the
drill bit under the workpiece before drilling.
• Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock-on button is “OFF”.
• When starting the hammer drill, let the drill
run for a few seconds before using it on a
workpiece. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation of an ac-
cessory.
• Don’t get distracted while operating, stop
the hammer drill before turning your attention
to other tasks.
• Use the auxiliary handle that is included with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• If possible, always use clamps or a vise to hold
the work.
• Always switch the drill OFF before putting it
down.
• Ensure that the lighting is adequate to see
the operation.
• Keep the work area free of tripping hazards.
• Secure the material that is being drilled. Nev-
er hold it in your hand or across your hand or
across your legs.
• Do not use damaged or bowed drill bits.
• Keep hands away from rotating parts.
