•When using the drill, use safety equipment including safety glasses or shield, ear defenders, and protective clothing including safety gloves. Wear a dust mask if the drilling operation creates dust.
WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains socket power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool.
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety regulations, the assembly instructions and the operating instructions to be found in this Manual. All persons who use and service the machine have to be acquainted with this Manual and must be informed about its potential hazards. Children and frail people must not use this tool. Children should be supervised at all times if they are in the area in which the tool is being used. It is also imperative that you observe the accident prevention regulations in force in your area. The same applies for general rules of occupational health and safety.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
•Damage to the lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
•Damage to hearing if effective ear defenders are not worn.

Additional safety rules for rotary hammers
•Do not use the rotary hammer in damp or wet areas.
•Do not attempt to use the rotary hammer for a purpose on which it was not designed. The rotary hammer will give much better service if you do not use excessive force. Excessive force will overheat the rotary hammer and damage internal parts. Excessive force may cause you to over balance causing damage and/or injury.
•Be prepared for the initial torque reaction of the drill.
•Chisel bits and drill bits may be thrown out of the machine accidentally and cause serious injury. Before starting to work always check that the chisel or drill bit is properly locked in the chuck.
•Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Never start up a rotary hammer tool until it is pressed against a work piece(bracket, wall, ceiling, etc).
