c) Avoid unintentional startup. Make sure that the
electric tool is switched off before you connect
it the power supply and/or battery, pick it up or
carry it. Keeping your finger on the switch when
carrying the electric tool or having the device al-
ready switched on when connecting it to the power
supply may result in accidents.
d) Remove the setting tools or spanners before
switching on the electric tool. A tool or spanner
that is located in a rotating device part may result
in injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal posture. Make sure that you
have secure footing and always maintain your
balance. This will allow you to better control the
electric tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewel-
lery and long hair can be caught by moving parts.
g) If dust extraction and collection devices can be
mounted, make sure that they are connected
and used properly. Using a dust extraction unit
can reduce hazards caused by dust.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
h)
of tools allow you to become complacent and ig-
nore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Using and handling the electric tool
a) Do not overload the device. Use the electric
tool intended for your work. The suitable elec-
tric tool allows you to work better and more safely
in the indicated power range.
b) Do not use an electric tool whose switch is de-
fective. An electric tool that cannot be switched on
or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the socket and/or re-
move the battery before setting the device,
changing accessories or putting the device
away. These precautionary measures will prevent
the electric tool from starting unintentionally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of
children. Do not let people use the device who
are not familiar with it or who have not read
these instructions. Electric tools are dangerous
if they are used by inexperienced people.
e) Maintain the electric tool with care. Check
whether moving
ly and do not get stuck and whether parts
are broken or are damaged and thus ad-
versely affect the electric tool function.

Have damaged parts repaired before using
the device. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained electric tools.
f) Always keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Care-
fully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edg-
es seize up less often and are easier to guide.
g) Use electric tools, accessories, insertion tool,
etc. according to these instructions. Take the
working conditions and the activity to be car-
ried out into consideration. Using electric tools
for applications other than the intended uses can
lead to dangerous situations.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
h)
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a) Only have your electric tool repaired by qual-
ified specialists and only with original spare
parts. This ensures that safety of the electric tool
is maintained.
Device-specific safety instructions for hammers
• Wear hearing protection. Excessive noise can result
in a loss of hearing.
• Use the additional grips if these are supplied with
the electric tool. Loss of control can lead to injuries.
• When performing work during which the tool attach-
ment can meet with concealed power lines or its
own mains cable, hold the device by the insulated
gripping surfaces. Contact with a live power line
can also electrify metal device parts and lead to
an electric shock.
• Use the appropriate detection devices in order to de-
tect hidden supply lines or consult the local utility
company. Contact with electrical lines can result in
fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas line can
lead to an explosion. Penetrating a water pipe caus-
es property damage or may cause an electric shock.
• Hold the electrical tool firmly with both hands and
ensure firm footing. It is safer to guide the electrical
tool with two hands.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece held with a
clamping device or vice is held more securely than
with your hand
• Wear a dust protection mask.
