Additional
Safety
Instructions
for Rotary
Hammers
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary
handles supplied
with the tooL Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power
tools
by insulated
gripping
surfaces
when performing
an operation
where the cutting
tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Use clamps
or other practical
way to secure and support
the workpiece
to a stable
platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control
Wear safety
goggles
or other eye protection.
Hammering
operations cause chips to
fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator for
applications that generate dust. Ear protection may be required for most applications.
Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate this tool without
holding
it with both hands. It is recommended
that the side handle be used at all times.
Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control Breaking through or encountering
hard materials such as re-bar may be hazardous as well. Tighten the side handle securely
before use.
The hammer is only for light chiselling applications.
The forward/reverse switch must be in the forward position when chiselling.
Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily combustible or explosive fluids (benzine, alcohol
etc.).
Do not mix or stir inflammable liquids labelled accordingly.
Do not operate this tool for long periods
of time. Vibration caused by hammer action may
be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and lim# exposure
by taking frequent rest periods.
Do not recondition
bits yourself.
Chisel reconditioning should be done by an authorized
specialist. Improperly reconditioned chisels could cause injury.
•
Wear gloves when operating
tool or changing
bits. Accessible metal parts on the tool and
bits may get extremely hot during operation. Small bits of broken material may damage bare
hands.
•
Never lay the tool down until the b# has come to a complete
stop. Moving bits could
cause injury.
•
Do not strike jammed
bits
with a hammer
to dislodge
them. Fragments of metal or
material chips could dislodge and cause injury.
•
Slightly
worn chisels
can be resharpened
by grinding.
•
Keep the power cord away from the rotating
bit. Do not wrap the cord around any part
of your body. An electric cord wrapped around a spinning b# may cause personal injury and
loss of control
•
Air vents often cover moving parts and should
be avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
•
An extension
cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG or American
Wire Gauge) for
safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that
is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to
make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum
wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE
ALL
WARNINGS
AND
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
FUTURE
REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or
battery-operated
(cordless) power tooL
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence
of
flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children
and bystanders
away while operating
a power tooL Distractions can
cause you to lose control
2) ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter
plugs with earthed
(grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact
with earthed
or grounded
surfaces
such as pipes,
radiators,
ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling
or unplugging
the
power tooL Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating
a power tool outdoors,
use an extension
cord suitable
for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) ff operating
a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable,
use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL
SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common
sense
when operating
a
power tool Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of
drugs, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective
equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent
unintentional
starting.
Ensure
the switch
is in the off position
before
connecting
to power source and/or battery
pack, picking
up or carrying
the tool
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
