re-bar may be hazardous as well. Tighten the side handle
securely before use.
•
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 material chips could dislodge
and cause injury.
•
Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened by grinding.
•
Keep the power cord away from the rotating bit. Do not
wrap the cord around any part of your body. An electric
cord wrapped around a spinning bit may cause personal
injury and loss of control.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
