WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
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 con-tacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could qive the operator an electric shock.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses
when working with the machine.The use of protective
clothing is recommended, such as dust mask,
protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet and
ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be
harmful to health. Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust
absorption system and wear a suitable dust protection
mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly, e.g. with a
vacuum cleaner.
Keep mains lead clear from working range of the
machine. Always lead the cable away behind you.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to
health (e.g. asbestos).
When working in walls ceiling, or floor, take care to
avoid electric cables and gas or waterpipes.
Switch the device off immediately if the insertion tool
stalls! Do not switch the device on again while the
insertion tool is stalled, as doing so could trigger a
sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why
the insertion tool stalled and rectify this, paying heed
to the safety instructions.
Possible causes can be:
● it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
● breakage of the material to be used
● the power tool is overloaded
Do not reach into the machine while it is running.
The insertion tool may become hot during use.
WARNING! Danger of burns
● when changing tools
● when setting the device down
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the
machine is running.
Always disconnect the plug from the socket before
carrying out any work on the machine.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual
risk factors. The following hazards may arise and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
■ Injury caused by vibration
– Use the lowest speed setting which achieves
the cutting, limit exposure. See Risk Reduction.
■ Injury caused by dust
– Dust may enter the eyes or respiratory
system. Wear eye protection at all times. Wear
appropriate dust control mask with filters
suitable for protecting against particles from
the material being cut. Do not eat, drink, or
smoke in the work area. Ensure adequate
ventilation.
■ Injury caused by electric shock
– The blade may contact hidden wiring, causing
parts of the product to become live. Always
hold the product by the designated handles
and take care when blind-cutting into walls and
floors where cables may be hidden.
■ Injury caused by contact with the blade
– The blades are very sharp and will become hot
during use. Wear gloves when changing blades.
Keep hands away from the cutting area at all
times. Clamp the workpiece whenever possible.
■ Injury caused by noise
– Noise can damage hearing. When using power
tools for an extended period of time, wear
hearing protection..
WARNING! Injuries may be caused or aggravated
by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for
prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld
tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness and blanching of the
fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness,
diet, smoking, and work practices are all thought to
contribute to the development of these symptoms.
There are measures that can be taken by the operator
to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather. When
operating the product, wear gloves to keep the
hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold
weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud's
Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to increase
