ENGLISH
 • 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 hammer to 
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. 
 
  WARNING: We recommend the use of 
a residual current device with a residual 
current rating of 30mA or less.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of rotary 
hammers:
  –  Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or 
hot parts of the tool
In spite of the application of the relevant safety 
regulations and the implementation of safety 
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. 
These are:
  –  Impairment of hearing.
  –  Risk of squeezing fingers when changing the 
accessory.
  –  Health hazards caused by breathing dust 
developed when working in concrete and/or 
masonry.

qualified repair person using only identical 
replacement parts. This will ensure that the 
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Specifi c Safety Rules for 
Rotary Hammers
 • Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can 
cause hearing loss.
  •  Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. 
Loss of control can cause personal injury. 
 • 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. 
 • 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 it 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.
