For safe operations:

1.Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

2.Consider work area environment. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit.

Do not use power tools where there is risk to cause fire or explosion.

3.Guard against electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces. (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators).

4.Keep children away. Do not let visitors touch the tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

5.Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high or locked up place, out of reach of children.

6.Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

7.Use the right tool. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not intended; for example, do not use circular saw to cut tree limbs or logs.

8.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, they can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protecting hair covering to contain long hair.

9.Use eye protection. Also use face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.

10.Connect dust extraction equipment.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities ensure these are connected and properly used.

11.Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

12.Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work. It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

13.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14.Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubrication and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have it repaired by authorized service center. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace, if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

15.Disconnect tools. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.

16.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.

17.Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry a plugged- in tool with a finger on the switch. Ensure switch is off when plugging in.

18.Use outdoor extension leads. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for outdoor use.

19.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.

20.Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated in this handling instructions. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

21.Warning

The use of any accessory or attachment, other than those recommended in this handling instructions, may present a risk of personal injury.

22.Have your tool repaired by a qualified person. This electric tool is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts. Otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.

PRECAUTIONS ON USING ROTARY HAMMER

Wear earplugs to protect your ears during operation.

Do not touch the bit during or immediately after operation. The bit becomes very hot during operation and could cause serious burns.

Before starting to break, chip or drill into a wall, floor or ceiling, thoroughly confirm that such items as electric cables or conduits are not buried inside.

Always hold the body handle and side handle of the power tool firmly. Otherwise the counterforce produced may result in inaccurate and even dangerous operation.
