IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the Hammer
Drill. Do not use the Hammer Drill while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the Hammer Drill may result
in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Use safety apparel and equipment. Use ANSI-approved safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask in dusty work conditions.
This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves,
dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on
the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
HAMMER DRILL USE AND CARE
Do not modify the Hammer Drill in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the
function and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific
applications for which Hammer Drill was designed.
Always check of damaged or worn out parts before using the Hammer Drill. Broken
parts will affect the Hammer Drill operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts
immediately.
Store idle Hammer Drill. When Hammer Drill is not in use, store it in a secure place out of
the reach of children. Inspect it for good working condition prior to storage and before reuse.
When operating the tool
Check that the switch is in the "OFF" position before connecting to the power supply. Switch
to "OFF" immediately after completion of the task.
Keep the mains cable away from any moving parts or accessories.
Never cover the ventilation slots in the tool.
Always hold the body and auxiliary handle firmly.
Otherwise, the counterforces produced during use or the jamming of a drill bit can cause
inaccuracies or put the drill out of control.
Before drilling into walls, ceilings etc, ensure that there are no concealed power cables or
pipes in the cavity.
Always use the auxiliary handle. This gives you greater control if the drill accessory should
become jammed.
Keep the cord clear of the drill accessory, do not wrap the cord around your arm or wrist.
1. Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
