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.
14. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material
supplier safety data.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in

For chipping, scaling or demolition operations, depress
the lock button and rotate the change lever so that the
pointer points to the
symbol. Use a bull point, cold
chisel, scaling chisel, etc.
CAUTION:
•
Do not rotate the change lever when the tool is
running under load. The tool will be damaged.
•
To avoid rapid wear on the mode change
mechanism, be sure that the change lever is
always positively located in one of the two or three
action mode positions.
Torque limiter
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque
level is reached. The motor will disengage from the
output shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.
CAUTION:
•
As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off
the tool immediately. This will help prevent
premature wear of the tool.
