ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS HAMMERS

• Wear ear protectors with rotary hammers. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

• Use the auxiliary handle supplied with the machine. Loss of control can cause personal

injury.

• During operation provide eye protection to prevent eyes from exposure to ying

particles. Wear goggles.

• Take protective measures against inhalation of dust. Some materials can contain toxic

ingredients. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/ chip extraction when connectable.

• Be aware that this tool is always in operating condition, because it does not have to

be plugged into an electrical outlet. Always set the trigger switch to the locked OFF

position when installing or removing the battery pack.

• Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing operations

where the operating tool could contact hidden wiring. Contact with a «live» wire will

also make exposed metal parts of the power tool «live» and shock the operator.

• Do not process materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.

• While operating the machine, always hold it rmly with both hands and provide for a

secure stance. The power tool is guided more securely with both hands.

• Prior to operation use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the

work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can

lead to re and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a

water line causes property damage or may cause electric shock.

• Always be sure you have a rm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in

high locations.

Battery tool use and care

• Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charter that is suitable

for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery

pack.

battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, lie paperclips,

coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from

one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a

re.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If

contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

medical help.
