cause hearing loss.
2.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
3.
faces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
4.
Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses
and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses
are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly
padded gloves.
5.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation.
6.
Under normal operation, the tool is designed to
produce vibration. The screws can come loose
easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check
tightness of screws carefully before operation.
7.
In cold weather or when the tool has not been
used for a long time, let the tool warm up for
a while by operating it under no load. This
will loosen up the lubrication. Without proper
warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.
8.
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
9.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
10. Keep hands away from moving parts.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
11.
only when hand-held.
12. Do not point the tool at any one in the area
when operating. The bit could fly out and
injure someone seriously.
13. Do not touch the bit, parts close to the bit, or
workpiece immediately after operation; they may
be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
14. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
15. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge and the bit are removed
before handing the tool to other person.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
