HAMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

· Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
· Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
· 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.
· Be certain that the material being drilled does not
conceal electric or gas service and that their locations
have been verified with the utility companies.
· Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not
attempt to operate this tool without holding it with
both hands. 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.
· Ensure the chisel is secured in place before operating
the tool.
· In cold-weather conditions or when the tool has not
been used for a longer period of time, let the tool run
with no load for several minutes before use.

power tools. Check
person using
· Do not touch the chisel or the parts close to the chisel
immediately after operation, as they may be extremely
hot and cause burns to the skin.
· Always direct the power cable to the rear, away from
the chisel.
· 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.
Note: Mains voltage: When connecting to the mains, it is
imperative to verify if the voltage of the mains matches that
for
of the power tool. If the mains voltage exceeds the voltage
indicated on the power tool, the user may become severely
injured in an accident, and the tool may be damaged. On
the contrary, if the mains voltage is lower than the voltage
required by the tool, the motor may be damaged as a result.
Thus, if it is not possible to verify the voltage, it is imperative
not to plug in to the power source.
