SERVICE

23.Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or main-

tenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

24.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num- ber, the heavier the cord.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

USB010-2

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to rotary hammer safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.

1.Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

2.Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods. Prolonged exposure

to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.

3.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 recommended that you wear a dust mask and thickly padded gloves.

4.Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation.
