Additional Specifi c Safety Rules for
Percussion Drills
• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
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 will make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
• Wear ear protectors when hammering
for extended periods of time. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise can cause
hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss or serious
ear drum damage may result from high sound
levels generated by hammerdrilling.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection.
Hammering and drilling operations cause chips
to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye
damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator for
applications that generate dust. Ear protection
may be required for most applications.
• Always use the side handle supplied with the
tool. Tighten the side handle securely before
use. 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.
• Always check core bits before usage. Never use
damaged core bits.
• Hammer bits and tools get hot during
operation. Wear gloves when touching them.
• Wear non-slip footwear to prevent injuries when
standing or walking on slippery surfaces.
• Only use cutting tools designed for this tool.
Use of non-recommended cutting tools may
lead to injuries due to loss of control.
30
• 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.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and
should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
