HAMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
f
cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
f
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping sur-
f
faces when performing operations where
the application tool or the screw could con-
tact hidden wiring or its own power cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock
the operator.
Connect the mains plug only when the tool is
f
switched off. After using, pull the mains plug.
Always direct the cable to the rear away from
f
the machine.
Do not carry the machine by the cable.
f
When working with the machine, always hold it
f
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
During pauses in the work, when not in use or
f
during work on the machine itself (e.g., chang-
ing of the working tools, repairs, cleaning, ad-
justment), pull the mains plug.
Persons under 16 year of age are not permitted
f
to operate this machine.
Keep the tool accessories out of the reach of
f
children.
Only use original accessories
f
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING IN-
STRUCTIONS
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
f
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can
also be operated with 220 V.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
f
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes prop-
erty damage.
Firmly tighten the auxiliary handle, hold the
f
machine firmly with both hands while work-
ing and keep proper footing and balance at
all times. The machine is securely guided with
both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
f
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ce-
f
ramic and plastic as well as for screwdriving,
tools without SDS-plus are used (e.g., drill bits
with cylindrical shank). For these tools, a keyless
chuck or a key type drill chuck are required.
The quick change chuck is automatically locked.
f
Check the locking effect by pulling the quick
change chuck.
Inserting SDS-plus Drilling Tools: Check the
f
latching by pulling the tool.
Replace a damaged dust protection cap im-
f
mediately. The dust protection cap largely pre-
vents the penetration of drilling dust into the
tool holder during operation. When inserting
the tool, pay attention that the dust protection
cap is not damaged.
Dust from materials such as lead-containing
f
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one's health and
cause allergic reactions, lead to respiratory
infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
As far as possible, use a dust extraction system
ƒ
suitable for the material.
Provide for good ventilation of the working
ƒ
place.
It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class res-
ƒ
pirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your coun-
try for the materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
f
Dust can easily ignite.
Apply the power tool to the screw only when
f
it is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip
off.
If the application tool should become
f
blocked, switch the machine off. Loosen the
application tool.
Before switching on the power tool, make
f
sure that the application tool moves freely.
When switching on with a blocked drilling tool,
high torque reaction can occur.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on
f
when using it.
Always wait until the machine has come to
f
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or
longterm exposure to vibration may cause tem-
porary or permanent physical injury, particularly
to the hands, arms and shoulders.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ANY VIBRATION-RE-
LATED INJURY:
First be examined by a doctor and then have
ƒ
regular medical check-ups to ensure medical
problems are not being caused or worsened
from use. Pregnant women or people who
have impaired blood circulation to the hand,
past hand injuries, nervous system disorders,
diabetes, or Raynaud's Disease should not use
this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white
or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as
possible.
Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
ƒ
is a choice.
Take vibration-free breaks during each day of
ƒ
work.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keep-
ƒ
ing safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Make sure the power supply information on the
machine's rating plate are compatible with the
power supply you intend to connect it to.
