General
Power
Tool Safety
Warnings
A
ARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of
flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outleL Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the
power tool Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
0 If operating a powertool
in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFC/ reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating
a
power
tooL Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent
unintentional
starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
connecting
to power source and/or battery
pack, picking
up or carrying
the tool
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting
key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or
a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
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 wll/ 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
cannot 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 accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting 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 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,
taking
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.
Additional
Safety
Instructions
for Rotary
Hammers
•
Wearearprotectors.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
•
Use auxiliary handle(s) if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
•
Holdpower
tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
•
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
•
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 applications that
generate dust. Ear protection may be required for most applications.
•
Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate this tool without
holding ht 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. 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 hammerto
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
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
• An extension cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG or American
Wire Gauge) for
safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up
the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection.
_,WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive 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.
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 microscopic 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 promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
_, WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse 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.
_ WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection

These heavy-duty rotary hammers have been designed for professional drilling and hammerdrilling,
screwdriving and light chipping at various work sites (i.e., construction sites). DO NOT use under
wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
These heavy-duty rotary hammers are professional power tools. DO NOT let children come into
contact with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.
Active
Vibration
Control
(Fig.
1)
D25262, D25263 ONLY
The active vibration control (K) reduces rebound vibration from the hammer mechanism. Reducing
hand and arm vibration allows for more comfortable use for longer periods of time and extends the
life of the unit.
For best vibration control, hold the tool with one hand on the main handle (B) and the other hand on
the side handle (H). Apply just enough pressure so the hammer is approximately mid-stroke.
The hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the active vibration control. Applying too much
pressure will not make the tool drill or chip faster and active vibration control will not engage.
