e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 will 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 c
ontrolled 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 tools 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
wi
th 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
demolition hammers
s Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
s Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
s Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
Contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
t Be certain that the material being drilled does
not conceal electric or gas service and that
their locations have been verified with the utility
companies.
s Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not
attempt to operate this tool without holding it
with both hands. 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.
s Ensure the chisel is secured in place before
operating the tool.
s In cold-weather conditions or when the tool
has not been used for a longer peri
od of time,
let the tool run with no load for several minutes
before use.
s When working above ground level ensure the
area below is clear.
s Do not touch the chisel or the parts close to the
chisel immediately after operation, as they may
be extremely hot and cause burns to the skin.
s Always direct the power cable to the rear, away
from the chisel.
s 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.
