safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detach-
able, from the power tool be-
fore making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and ac-
cessories. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may
affect the power tool's oper-
ation. 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, taking
into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those inten-
ded could result in a hazardous situ-
ation.
h) Keep handles and grasping
surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
5. SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
Hammer Safety Warnings
Safety instructions for all
operations
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use the auxiliary handle(s), if
supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
• Hold the power tool by insu-
lated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may con-
tact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessories contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed met-
al parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric
shock.
Safety instructions when using
long drill bits with rotary
hammers
• Always start drilling at low
speed and with the bit tip in
contact with the workpiece. At
higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if
allowed to rotate freely without contact-
ing the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
