ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
Wear a hard hat (safety helmet) and an ear protector if necessary.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation.
Under normal operation, the tool is designed t o produce vibration. The
screws can come loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check
tightness of screws carefully before operation.
In cold weather or when the tool has not been used for a long time, let the
tool warm up for several minutes by operating
it
under no load. This will
loosen up the lubrication. Without proper warm-up hammering operation
is difficult.
Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high
locations.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Always use the side grip.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
Do not point the tool at any one
in the area when operating. The bit could
fly out and injure someone seriously.
When chipping into walls, floors or wherever "live" electrical wires may
be encountered,
DO
NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS
OF
THE TOOL!
Hold the tool only by the plastic handle or the side grip t o prevent electric
shock if you chip into a "live" wire.
Do
not touch the bit or parts close t o the bit immediately after operation;
they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
