cautionary markings on charger, battery pack,
and product using batterypack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow
any liquid to get inside charger. Electric
shock mayresult.

rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal
injury anddamage.
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and could
give the operator an electricalshock.
• 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
ofcontrol.
• 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 mostapplications.
• 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 beforeuse.
• 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 restperiods.
• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel
reconditioning should be done by an authorized
specialist. Improperly reconditioned chisels
could causeinjury.
• 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 barehands.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has
come to a complete stop. Moving bits could
causeinjury.
• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to
dislodge them. Fragments of metal or material
chips could dislodge and causeinjury.
• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened
bygrinding.
• 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
ofcontrol.
