Markings On Tool; Important Safety Instructions For All Battery Chargers - DeWalt DC228 Original Instructions Manual

E N G L I S H
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator.
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against
your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection.
Hammering operations cause chips to fly. Flying
particles can cause permanent eye damage.
Wear a dust mask or respirator for applications
that generate dust. Ear protection may be
required for most applications.
• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times.
Do not attempt to operate this tool without
holding it with both hands. It is recommended
that the side handle be used at all times.
Operating this tool with one hand will result in
loss of control. Breaking through or encountering
hard materials such as re-bar may be hazardous
as well. Tighten the side handle securely before
use.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of
time. Vibration caused by hammer action may
be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves
to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by
taking frequent rest periods.
• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel
reconditioning should be done by an authorized
specialist. Improperly reconditioned chisels could
cause injury.
• Wear gloves when operating tool or changing
bits. Accessible metal parts on the tool and bits
may get extremely hot during operation. Small
bits of broken material may damage bare hands.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come
to a complete stop. Moving bits could cause
injury.
• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to
dislodge them. Fragments of metal or material
chips could dislodge and cause injury.
• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened by
grinding.
• Keep the power cord away from the rotating
bit. Do not wrap the cord around any part of
your body. An electric cord wrapped around a
spinning bit may cause personal injury and loss
of control.

Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of rotary
hammers:
- Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or

regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
- Impairment of hearing.
- Risk of squeezing fi ngers when changing the
accessory.
- Health hazards caused by breathing dust
developed when working in concrete and/or
masonry.
