Rotary Hammer Safety Rules

Hold power tools by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation

where the cutting tool may contact hidden

wiring or it own cord. Contact with a "live"

wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool

"live" and shock the operator.

Do not drill,

fasten or break into existing walls or other blind

areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this

situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or

circuit breakers feeding this worksite.

Wear ear protectors when using the tool for

extended periods. Prolonged exposure to

high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.

Use a metal detector to determine if there

are gas or water pipes hidden in the work

area or call the local utility company for

assistance before beginning the operation.

Striking or cutting into a gas line will result in

explosion. Water entering an electrical device

may cause electrocution.
Always use the side handle for maximum

control over torque reaction or kick-back.

Never attempt to operate this tool with one

hand. The slip clutch engages if you firmly

control the tool during a torque reaction or

kickback.

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil

and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely

control the power tool.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the

correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it was

designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from the

power tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing power tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the

power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these

instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition

that may affect the power tools operation.

If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are

easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool

bits etc., in accordance with these

instructions and in the manner intended

for the particular type of power tool,

taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a

hazardous situation.
Use clamps or other practical way to

secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by hand

or against your body is unstable and may

lead to loss of control.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

Develop a periodic maintenance schedule

for your tool. When cleaning a tool be

careful not to disassemble any portion of

the tool since internal wires may be

misplaced or pinched or safety guard

return springs may be improperly

mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as

gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc.

may damage plastic parts.
