6. MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY INDICATIONS
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may make contact with hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
• Use a metal detector to determine if there are gas or water pipes hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company for assistance before beginning the operation.
Striking or cutting into a gas line will result in explosion. Water entering an electrical
device may cause electrocution.
• Let the bit cool before touching, changing or adjusting it. Bits heat up dramatically while
in use, and can burn you.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
• Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
• When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to
resist starting torque.
• Always use the side handle for maximum control over torque reaction or kick-back.
Never attempt to operate this tool with one hand. The slip clutch engages if you firmly
control the tool during a torque reaction or kickback.
• Dust generated or gases released from the material you are cutting (i.e. asbestos
insulated pipes, radon) may cause respiratory difficulties.
• Position the cord clear of rotating bit. Do not wrap the cord around your arm or wrist. If
cord becomes entangled with the spinning bit it could entrap you causing serious
personal injury.
• Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle and walls or
posts. Should the bit become bound or jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the
tool could crush your hand or leg.
• If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece, release the trigger immediately, reverse the
direction of rotation and slowly squeeze the trigger to back out the bit. Be ready for a
strong reaction torque.
• The hammer body will tend to twist in the opposite direction as the bit is rotating.
(Note use only if your tool has reversing feature.)
• Do not strike the bit with a handheld hammer or sledge hammer when attempting to
dislodge a bound or jammed bit. Fragments of metal from the bit could dislodge and
strike you or bystanders.
• Never place the tool down until the bit or accessory have come to a complete stop. Do
not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull or damaged bits have a greater
tendency to bind in the workpiece.
• When removing the bit from the tool avoid contact with skin and use proper protective
gloves when grasping the bit or accessory.
• Accessories may be hot after prolonged use.
