will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it

wasdesigned.

b ) 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.

c ) 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.

d ) 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.

e ) 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 accidents are caused by poorly

maintained powertools.

f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.

g ) 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.

5) Battery tool use and care

a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with

another batterypack.

b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create

a risk of injury andfire.

c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,

nails, screws or other small metal objects that can

make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns

or afire.

d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact

accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid

ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns.

6) Service

a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool ismaintained.

Additional Safety Instructions for Rotary

Hammers

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause

hearingloss.

• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of

control can cause personalinjury.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, 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.

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the

workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or

against your body is unstable and may lead to loss ofcontrol.

• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering

operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause

permanent eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator

for applications that generate dust. Ear protection may be

required for mostapplications.

• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt

to operate this tool without holding it with both hands. It

is recommended that the side handle be used at all times.

Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control.

Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as

re-bar may be hazardous as well. Tighten the side handle

securely beforeuse.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration

caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and

arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure

by taking frequent restperiods.

• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning should

be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly reconditioned

chisels could causeinjury.

• Wear gloves when operating tool or changing bits. Accessible

metal parts on the tool and bits may get extremely hot

during operation. Small bits of broken material may damage

barehands.

• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete

stop. Moving bits could causeinjury.

• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge them.

Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge and

causeinjury.

• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened bygrinding.

• Keep the power cord away from the rotating bit. Do not

wrap the cord around any part of your body. An electric cord

wrapped around a spinning bit may cause personal injury and

loss ofcontrol.
