SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
CORDLESS ROTARY HAMMER
SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety instructions for all operations
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
1.
cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
2.
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits with
rotary hammers
1. Always start drilling at low speed and with the
bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting
in personal injury.
2. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend, causing breakage or loss of control, result-
ing in personal injury.
Additional safety warnings
Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses
1.
and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses
are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly
padded gloves.
2. Be sure the bit is secured in place before
operation.
Under normal operation, the tool is designed
3.
to produce vibration. The screws can come
loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident.
Check tightness of screws carefully before
operation.
4. In cold weather or when the tool has not been
used for a long time, let the tool warm up for
a while by operating it under no load. This
will loosen up the lubrication. Without proper
warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.
5. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Keep hands away from moving parts.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
8.
only when hand-held.
9. Do not point the tool at any one in the area
when operating. The bit could fly out and
injure someone seriously.
10. Do not touch the bit, parts close to the bit, or
workpiece immediately after operation; they
may be extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
Some material contains chemicals which may
11.
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
12. Always be sure that the tool is switched
off and the battery cartridge and the bit are
removed before handing the tool to other
person.
13. Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the working area. Otherwise, the
drill bit/chisel may touch them, resulting an electric
shock, electrical leakage or gas leak.
14. Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
