ing power tools.

 Such preventive safety 

measures reduce the risk of starting the 
power tool accidentally.

►

Store idle power tools out of the reach 
of children and do not allow persons 
unfamiliar with the power tool or these 
instructions to operate the power tool. 

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of 
untrained users.

►

Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, 
breakage of parts and any other condi-

tion that may affect the power tool’s op

-

eration.

 If damaged, have the power tool 

repaired before use. Many accidents are 
caused by poorly maintained power tools.

►

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly maintained cutting tools with 
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind 
and are easier to control.

►

The tool is not intended for use by persons 
(including children) with reduced physical, 
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of 
experience or knowledge, unless they 
have been supervised or instructed in the 
use of the tool by a person responsible for 
their safety.

►

Use the power tool, accessories and 
tool bits etc. in accordance with these 
instructions, taking into account the 
working conditions and the work to 
be per-formed.

 Use of the power tool for 

operations different from those intended 
could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

►

Have your power tool serviced by a 

qualified repair person using only iden

-

tical replacement parts.

 This will ensure 

that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.

Hammer Safety Warnings

►

Wear ear protectors. 

Exposure to noise 

can cause hearing loss.

►

Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with 
the tool.

 Loss of control can cause per-

sonal injury.

►

Hold power tool by insulated gripping 
surfaces, when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting accessory may 
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire 
may make exposed metal parts of the 
power tool “live” and could give the opera-
tor an electric shock.

►

Use suitable detectors to determine if 

utility lines are hidden in the work area 
or call the local utility company for as-
sistance. 

Contact with electric lines can 

lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a 

gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating 
a water line causes property damage or 
may cause an electric shock.

►

When working with the machine, always 

hold it firmly with both hands and pro

-

vide for a secure stance.

 The power tool 

is guided more secure with both hands.

►

Secure the workpiece.

 A  workpiece 

clamped with clamping devices or in a vice 
is held more secure than by hand.

►

Always wait until the machine has 
come to a complete stop before placing 
it down.

 The tool insert can jam and lead 

to loss of control over the power tool.

Before switching on the power tool, make 
sure that the tool can turn freely.

 When 

turning on an electric tool with a jammed 
working tool, large reaction moments occur.

When jamming the working tool, turn off 
the power tool.

 Eliminate the cause of jam-

ming of the working tool.

►

Installing the SDS-plus working tool:

Check the fixation by trying to pull out 

the working tool. For impact-free drill-
ing in wood, metal, ceramics and syn-
thetic materials, as well as for screw-
driving, use tools without SDS-plus (e.g. 
drills with cylindrical shank).

 These 

tools require a keyless or toothed chuck.

If the dust cap is damaged, it must be re-
placed immediately.

 The dust cap prevents 

drilling dust from entering the chuck. When 
installing the operating tool, be careful not to 
damage the dust cap.

►

Dust from materials such as lead paint, 
certain types of wood, minerals and 
metals can be harmful to your health 
and cause allergic reactions, respira-
tory problems and/or cancer.

 Have as-

bestos-containing material handled only by 
specialists.

-

If possible, use a vacuum cleaner suitable 
for the material.

-

Ventilate the workplace well.

-

It is recommended to use a respiratory 
mask with a class P2 filter. Observe the 
regulations valid in your country for the 
materials to be processed.

►

Avoid accumulation of dust in the work-
place.

 Dust can be easily ignited.
