Rotary Hammer Safety Warnings

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.

14.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.

15.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

16.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.

17.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

18.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.

19.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.

20.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.

21.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.

22.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.

23.Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

24.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

25.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.

26.Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories.

27.Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

GEB007-7

1.Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

2.Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

3.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.

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 recommended 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 difficult.

8.Always be sure you have a firm footing.

Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.

9.Hold the tool firmly 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 fly 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.
