ATTENTION! DANGER OF ELECTRIC 

SHOCK!

Consider working area environment. Do not expose 

power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in damp 

or wet locations. Keep work area well lit and dry. Try 

to prevent the device from getting wet or being 

exposed to humidity. Do not leave it outside 

overnight. Water entering a power tool will increase 

the risk of electric shock.

∙

The  power  supply  cable  should  be  checked 

regularly  and,  before  using  it,  make  sure  the  cable  is 

not  damaged  or  worn  out.  If  the  cable  is  not  in  good 

condition,  do  not  use  the  appliance;  take  it  to  an 

authorized service center.

∙

When tool is used outdoor, only use an extension 

cable  that  is  suitable  for  outdoor  use  and  which  is 

marked  for  this  specific  use.  Keep  it  away  from  the 

working area, from damp, wet or oily surfaces and away 

from heat and flammable materials.

∙

Avoid any accidental starting: make sure that the 

power switch (if present) is in the «off» position, before 

plugging the tool in.

∙

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning 

the tool on.

∙

Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn the 

tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the 

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

WARNING! During the use of certain 

power tools, some dust containing 

chemicals known to cause cancer, 

may occur.  

Some  of  these  chemicals  are:  lead  from  lead  based 

paints,  crystalline  silica  from  bricks  and  cement  and 

other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from 

chemically  treated  lumber  and  other  dangerous 

products.  If  dust  is  present,  your  risk  from  these 

exposures varies, depending on how often you do this 

type  of  work. 

To reduce your exposure to these 

chemicals, any time you do pulverulent operations, 

work in a well ventilated area and work with 

approved safety equipment, such as dust masks 

that are specially designed to filter out microscopic 

particles.  

∙

If the appliance strikes a foreign body, examine the 

device for signs of damage and carry out any necessary 

repairs before restarting and continuing to work.

∙

If  the  appliance  starts  to  vibrate  abnormally,  turn 

it off and check for the cause immediately. Vibration is 

generally a warning of trouble.

∙

Always  switch  off  the  appliance  and  wait  until 

the  device  completely  stops  whenever  you  leave 

the  machine,  before  carrying  out  maintenance, 

before  changing  accessories,  checking,  cleaning, 

troubleshooting or working on the appliance.

∙

It is forbidden to move or modify any of the internal 

parts of the device.

Specific safety rules

∙

Hold  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.

∙

Wear  ear  protectors  when  using  the  tool  for 

extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high intensity 

noise can cause hearing loss.

∙

Wear  a  hard  hat  (safety  helmet),  safety  glasses 

and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT 

safety glasses. It is also highly recommended that you 

wear a dust mask and thickly padded gloves.

∙

Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation.

∙

Under  normal  operation,  the  tool  is  designed  to 

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  a  while 

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.

∙

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.

∙

Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit 

immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot 

and could burn your skin.

∙

Some  materials  contain  chemicals  which  may  be 

toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin 

contact.

∙

Store the device where it is inaccessible to children.
