4 ENGLISH
CORDLESS ROTARY HAMMER
SAFETY WARNINGS
1.
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
2.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
4.
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 recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly
padded gloves.
5.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before
operation.
6.
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.
7.
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.
8.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
9.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
10.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
11.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
12.
Do not point the tool at any one in the area
when operating. The bit could fly out and
injure someone seriously.
13.
Do not touch the bit, parts close to the bit, or
workpiece immediately after operation; they
may be extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
14.
Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
15.
Always be sure that the tool is switched
off and the battery cartridge and the bit are
removed before handing the tool to other
person.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.

Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1.
Charge the battery cartridge before completely dis-
charged. Always stop tool operation and charge the
battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3.
Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
