jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related haz-
ards.
4. POWeR tOOl Use AND CARe
a) 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.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
e) maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
5. seRvICe
a) 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.
IV - Additional safety rules for
cordless rotary hammers
▪ Be aware that this tool is always in operating condi-
tion, because it does not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet. The trigger switch has to be in OFF
position when installing or removing the battery pack.
▪ Wear ear protectors when operating with rotary
hammers. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▪ During operation provide eye protection to pre-
Original instructions
vent eyes from exposure to flying particles. Wear
goggles.
▪ take protective measures against inhalation of
dust. some materials can contain toxic ingredi-
ents. Wear a dust mask.
▪ The dust, separated while processing materials, con-
taining quartz (SiO
) is dangerous to your health. Do
2
not process materials containing asbestos.
▪ While operating the machine, always hold it firmly
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 lo-
cal utility company for assistance. Contact with elec-
tric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging
a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water
line causes property damage or may cause electric
shock.
▪ Use clamps or a vice to secure your work whenever
possible.
▪ Do not touch the drill bit or the processed part during
operation and immediately after that; they may be ex-
tremely hot. You may get serious burns.
▪ Watch out for the initial torque reaction of the machine
or upon jamming the drill bit. Switch off the power tool
immediately upon jamming the drill bit. Watch out for
high reactive torque which may result in kick-back.
The drill bit will block if the power tool is overloaded or
if the bit jams into the material.
▪ Keep work area clean. Blends of materials are par-
ticularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or
explode.
▪ The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual
will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not
the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or in-
jury resulting from such cases of misuse.
▪ Always switch the machine off prior to leaving it down.
The operating tool might get caught, thus causing loss
of control.
▪ To use this power tool properly, you must observe the
safety regulations, the assembly instructions and the
operating instructions to be found in this Manual. All
persons who use and service the machine have to be
acquainted with this Manual and must be informed
about its potential hazards. Children and frail people
must not use this tool. Children should be supervised
at all times if they are in the area in which the tool is
being used. It is also imperative that you observe the
accident prevention regulations in force in your area.
The same applies for general rules of occupational
health and safety.
▪ The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes
made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from
such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not pos-
sible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in connection with the tool's construc-
tion and design:
▪ Damage to the lungs if an effective dust mask is not
worn.
▪ Damage to hearing if effective ear defenders are not
worn.
