TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct tool will do
the job better and more safely at the rate that it
was designed to work at.
Do not use tools 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 be-
fore making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories or storing the tool. This preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of accidental starting
of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out
of the reach of children, and do not allow in-
dividuals who are not familiar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained
users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Check for misalignment or bonding of moving
parts, breakage parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If you find
a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Suitable ac-
cessories for one tool, may become hazardous
when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cut-
ting tools in good condition with sharpened
edges, are less likely to stuck in workpieces or
easier to control.
Is recommendable to use a safety device suit-
able, such a thermal and differential switch
when you are using an electric equipment.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could re-
sult in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
HAMMER DRILLS
• Do not put pressure on the drill to the extent
that it slows down the motor. For better results,
and to lengthen the life of the drill, allow the
drill bit to cut without pressure.
10
• Only use accessories that are in optimal condi-
tion.
• Hold the tool by its insulated gripping surfaces
when performing any operation where the tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live", and shock the operator.
• Check that there is sufficient clearance for the
drill bit under the workpiece before drilling.
• Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock-on button is "OFF".
• When starting the hammer drill, let the drill
run for a few seconds before using it on a work-
piece. Watch for vibration or wobbling that
could indicate poor installation of an accessory.
• Don't get distracted while operating, stop the
hammer drill before turning your attention to
other tasks.
• Use the auxiliary handle that is included with
the tool. Loss of control can cause personal in-
jury.
• If possible, always use clamps or a vise to hold
the work.
• Always switch the drill OFF before putting it
down.
• Ensure that the lighting is adequate to see the
operation.
• Keep the work area free of tripping hazards.
• Secure the material that is being drilled. Nev-
er hold it in your hand or across your hand or
across your legs.
• Do not use damaged or bowed drill bits.
• Keep hands away from rotating parts.
• Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask
when drilling, especially when drilling above
the level of your head.
• Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so
that any sparks will fly away from the operator
and other persons. Keep all flammable materials
away when using this drill.
• Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation. It may be extremely hot, and could
burn the skin.
