• 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.
• 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.
• 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 elec-
tric shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when opera-
ting a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the
in uence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while opera-
ting power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position befo-
re 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.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• 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.
• 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.
Power tool use and care
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many acci-
dents 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.
• 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
performed.
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 qualifed repair person using only identi-
cal replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
ROTARY HAMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
Wear ear protectors with rotary hammers.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use the auxiliary handle supplied with the machine.
Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
During operation provide eye protection to prevent eyes from
exposure to flying particles.
Wear goggles.
Take protective measures against inhalation of dust.
Some materials can contain toxic ingredients. Wear a dust mask and
work with dust/chip extraction when connectable.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation 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 operator an electric shock.
•
Do not process materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source ensure that
the voltage supply is the same as that specifed on the nameplate
of the tool.
•
A power source with a voltage greater than that specifed for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool.
•
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
•
Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to
the motor.
•
Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating.
•
When an extension cable is required, you must ensure that it has the right ampere
rating for your power tool and it is in safe electrical condition.
WARNING:
Always switch off and unplug the power tool prior to any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
