• 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.
WARNING: We recommend the use of
a residual current device with a residual
current rating of 30mA or less.
