General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read
instructions, illustrations
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
CORDLESS ROTARY HAMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
Safety instructions for all operations
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 the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits with
rotary hammers
1. Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit
tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate
freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
2. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit
and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can
bend, causing breakage or loss of control, resulting
in personal injury.
Additional safety warnings
1. 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.
2. Be sure the bit is secured in place before
operation.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure
no one is below when using the tool in high
locations.

6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Keep hands away from moving parts.
8. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
9. Do not point the tool at any one in the area when
operating. The bit could fly out and injure
someone seriously.
10. Do not touch the bit, parts close to the bit, or
workpiece immediately after operation; they may
be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
11. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.
12. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge and the bit are removed
before handing the tool to other person.
13. Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe or
gas pipe in the working area. Otherwise, the drill
bit/chisel may touch them, resulting an electric
shock, electrical leakage or gas leak.
14. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
