Congratulations on purchasing your Full Boar demolition
hammer kit. It has been designed for rapid breaking and
chipping of concrete, block and masonry products.
Read and understand the instruction manual before
operating the demolition hammer. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
INTRODUCTION
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the
following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury
and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency,
before operating the tool. Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for
future reference. The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise
due to a failure to follow these instructions and the safety information.
Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate is
identical to the mains data.
This tool is double insulated therefore no earth wire is required.
The power supply for this product should be protected by a residual current device (rated at 30mA or
less). A residual current device reduces the risk of electric shock.
If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord
available through the service organisation.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this
tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect
the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or
defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead
not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire
and electric shock.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions before use.
Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save this instruction manual 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. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD 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 a 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.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
