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 difcult.

8. Always be sure you have a rm footing. Be

sure no one is below when using the tool in

high locations.

9. Hold the tool rmly 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 y out and

injure someone seriously.

13. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit

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.
