SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
Service
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.
Percussion Hammer Safety Warnings
1. Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a ″live″ wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool ″live″ and shock the operator.
4. Keep clear of moving parts.
5. Unplug before inspecting, removing or
installing chisel, or performing any service.
6. Pull on chisel after installation and before use;
chisel may move but MUST NOT slide out.
7. Wear steel-toed boots during use.
8. Do not operate this tool if you have back, neck,
or wrist injuries, or other conditions that will
be aggravated by the severe jerking forces
that this tool exerts upon the operator.
9. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
10. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
11. 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.
12. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool
with both hands to resist starting torque.
13. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged
into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and
unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
14. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
15. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
In addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Properly ground power cord. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented
– it prevents sustained electrical shock.
16. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration
may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands,
arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for
an extended period should first be examined
by a doctor and then have regular medical
check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant
women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.
If you feel any symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness,
and white or blue fingers), seek medical
advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
