General Safety Rules
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified elec-
trician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user. Applicable only to Class I (Grounded) tools.
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polar-
ized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double Insulation
eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Applicable only
to Class ll tools.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock. Other liquids, such as perspiration, present the same haz-
ard.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-
ber, the heavier the cord.

PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided as
well.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or mainte-
nance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow mainte-
nance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Additional Safety Instructions for Demolition Hammers
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces (side handle and rear handles) when per-
forming an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the oper-
ator.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering operations cause chips to fly.
Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator for appli-
cations that generate dust.
• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate this tool without hold-
ing it with both hands. It is recommended that the side handle be used at all times. Operating
this tool with one hand will result in loss of control. Breaking through or encountering hard
materials such as re-bar may be hazardous as well.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by hammer action may
be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure
by taking frequent rest periods.
• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning should be done by an authorized
specialist. Improperly reconditioned chisels could cause injury.
• Wear gloves when operating tool or changing bits. Accessible metal parts on the tool and
bits may get extremely hot during operation. Small bits of broken material may damage bare
hands.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete stop. Moving bits could
cause injury.
• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge them. Fragments of metal or mate-
rial chips could dislodge and cause injury.
• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened by grinding.
NOTE: Do not overheat the bit (discoloration) while grinding a new edge. Badly worn chisels
require reforging. Do not reharden and temper chisels.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during use. Under some con-
ditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con-
struction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscop-
ic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may pro-
mote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
