Hammer safey warnings
WARNING!
Safety instructions for all operations.
■ 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 the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
or fasteners 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
■ 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.
■ Apply pressure only in direct line with the
bit and do not apply excessive pressure.
Bits can bend, causing breakage or loss of
control, resulting in personal injury.
