hat, or hearing protection must be used for ap-
propriate conditions.
• Before connecting the tool to a power source
(receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the volt-
age supplied is the same as that one specified
on the nameplate of the tool. To use a not
specified voltage may cause a serious injury to
the user as well as damage the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct tool will
do the job better and more safely at the rate
that it was designed to work at.
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a estable plat-
form. Holding the work by hand or against
your body is unestable and may cause loss of
control.
• Do not use tools if switch does not turn it
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
whith the switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories or storing the tool. This preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
• When the power tool is not in use, store it
out of the reach of children, and do not al-
low individuals who are not familiar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate it.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands on un-
trained users.
• Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Check for misalignment or bonding of mov-
ing parts, breakage parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the tools operation. If you
find a damaged tool, take it to service before
use it.
• Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer of your model. Suitable
accessories for one tool, may become hazard-
ous when are used on another tool.
• Do not alter or misuse the tool. These tools
have been built by precision. Any alteration or
modification not specified is misuse and may
result in a dangerous condition.
• Is recommendable to use a safety device suit-
able, such a thermal and diferential switch
when you are using an electric equipment.
REPAIR AND SERVICE
• Tool service must be perfomed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could re-
sult in a risk of injury.
• When tool service is required, use only identi-
cal replacement parts and follow the instruc-
tions from Maintenance Section in this manual.
The use of unauthorized parts or failure to fol-
low Maintenance Instructions may cause a risk
of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Do not put pressure on the drill to the ex-
tent that it slows down the motor. For better
results, and to lengthen the life of the drill, al-
low the drill bit to cut without pressure.
• Only use accessories that are in optimal con-
dition.
• Hold the tool by its insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing any operation where
the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make ex-
posed metal parts of the tool “live”, and shock
the operator.
• Check that there is sufficient clearance for
the drill bit under the workpiece before drill-
ing.
• Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock-on button is “OFF”.
• When starting the hammer drill, let the drill
run for a few seconds before using it on a
workpiece. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation of an ac-
cessory.
• Don’t get distracted while operating, stop
the hammer drill before turning your attention
to other tasks.
• Use the auxiliary handle that is included with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• If possible, always use clamps or a vise to hold
the work.
• Always switch the drill OFF before putting it
down.
