Klutch 3218 Owner's Manual page 5

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another
tool.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Demolition Breaker. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact the distributor for a replacement.
Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eyeglasses and a full face shield when using
the Demolition Breaker. Also wear heavy-duty steel-toe boots, hearing protection, dust mask
or respirator, and heavy-duty work gloves. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for
injury.
Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is
adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil,
trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and
vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.
Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before turning on the
Demolition Breaker.
Do not force the Demolition Breaker. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed
and capacity for which it was designed.
Keep hands, fingers, and feet safely away from the cutting area.
Never leave the Demolition Breaker unattended when it is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
Before using the Demolition Breaker, check to make sure the Chisel is properly mounted
in the Slider of the tool. Make sure the Chisel is sharp, and is not cracked or bent.
Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
Always hold the Demolition Breaker with both hands by its insulated gripping surfaces;
this offers protection against electrical shock, if the tool's Chisel contacts hidden wiring
or its own power cord.
Do not drill or break into existing walls, floors, or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding
the worksite.
Use a metal detector to determine if there are gas or water pipes hidden in the work area
or call the local utility company for assistance before beginning the operation. Striking or
cutting into a gas line will result in explosion. Water entering an electrical device may cause
electrocution.
Position yourself to avoid being caught between the Demolition Breaker or Auxiliary
Handle and walls or posts. Should the Chisel become bound or jammed in the work, the
reaction of the tool could crush your hand or leg.
Do not strike the Chisel with a handheld hammer or sledgehammer when attempting to
dislodge a bound or jammed Chisel. Fragments of metal from the Chisel could dislodge and
strike you or bystanders.
Never place the Demolition Breaker down until the Motor has come to a complete stop.
The Chisel may become hot after prolonged use. When removing the Chisel from the tool,
avoid contact with skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the Chisel.
Do not force the Chisel into the workpiece when cutting. Apply moderate pressure, allowing
the Chisel to cut without being forced.
Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Demolition Breaker
while it is plugged in and running.
Always unplug the Demolition Breaker from its electrical outlet before performing and
