7. Do not allow the bit to stop while in
the hole. Remove the bit while it is
still rotating. If the bit stops while in
the hole, do not restart the Rotary
Hammer. Remove the bit from the
Hammer, and then remove the bit
from the workpiece.
8. Always keep the Power Cord (112)
and extension cord (if used) away
from the moving parts of the Rotary
Hammer.
9. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare
to begin work before turning on the
tool.
10. Do not lay the tool down until it has
come to a complete stop. Moving
parts can grab the surface and pull
the tool out of your control.
11. When using a handheld power tool,
hold the tool with both hands to resist
starting torque.
12. Do not leave the tool unattended
when it is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug
it from its electrical outlet before
leaving.
13. This product is not a toy. Keep it out
of reach of children.
14. People with pacemakers should
consult their physician(s) before
use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could
cause pacemaker interference or
pacemaker failure. In addition,
people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch locked
on.
SKU 97743 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
• Properly maintain and inspect to
avoid electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be
implemented – it prevents sustained
electrical shock.
15. Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities,
contains chemicals known [to the
State of California] to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic
particles. (California Health & Safety
Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
16. The warnings, precautions,
and instructions discussed in
this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must
be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the
operator.
