Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
be operated on single-phase AC/DC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
For public low-voltage distribution systems of between
220 V and 250 V
Switching operations of electric apparatus cause voltage
fluctuations. The operation of this device under unfavora-
ble mains conditions can have adverse effects to the
operation of other equipment. With a mains impedance
equal or less than 0.43 Ohms it can be presumed that
there will be no negative effects.
The mains socket used for this device must be protected
with a fuse or protective circuit breaker having slow trip-
ping characteristics.

Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses
and/or face shield. It is also highly recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask, ear protec-
tors and thickly padded gloves.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before opera-
tion.
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.
In cold weather or when the tool has not been
used for a long time, let the tool warm up for sev-
eral minutes by operating it under no load. This
will loosen up the lubrication. Without proper
warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.
Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
Do not point the tool at any one in the area when
operating. The bit could fly out and injure some-
one seriously.
"live" electrical wires may be encountered, DO
NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL!
Hold the tool by the insulated grasping surfaces to
prevent electric shock if you chip into a "live" wire.
diately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
