ENGLISH
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Additional power tool safety warnings
@
Warning! Additional safety warnings for demolition
hammers.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
u
ing loss.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of
u
control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
u
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-
cessory 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
u
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 at-
u
tempt 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
u
the tool.
In cold-weather conditions or when the tool has not
u
been used for a longer period of time, let the tool run
with no load for several minutes before use.
When working above ground level ensure the area
u
below is clear.
Do not touch the chisel or the parts close to the chisel
u
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
u
the chisel.
Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
u
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.
