f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by
the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage
circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury
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
Power Tool Use & 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 controlled 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 tool’s 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
with 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
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

Electric Breaker Safety
• Be aware of the effects of vibration when using this electric breaker. By
nature of their design electric breakers will produce a large amount of
vibration. It is advised to wear special vibration-reducing gloves when
operating machinery that emits large amounts of vibration, and to
monitor and limit vibration exposure times
• Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces; if the tool comes
into contact with a live wire, the exposed metal parts of the power tool
may become live
• Before beginning work, use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for
assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage and may cause electric shocks
• Always hold it firmly with both hands using both handles, and ensure you
have a secure stance on level ground
• When using this machine in cold weather or when the tool has not been
used for a long time, operate the tool under no load and wait for it to
warm up and lubricate itself
• The machine housing becomes warm, and the steel bit may even
become hot after extended periods of use. Do not touch these parts to
prevent burns
• Some building materials contain toxic substances. Always use adequate
breathing and skin protection when operating this machine in a dusty
environment, especially if you expect toxic substances to be present, or
if you are unaware about the composition of the materials to be worked
on. Always adhere to laws and regulations when disposing of toxic
substances
• Only use extension leads of a suitable type that is approved for the
environment you are working in. Conductors must be of adequate cross
section, as the machine may otherwise operate at reduced performance,
and the extension lead may overheat. Check the extension cord for
damage before every use, at the same time as checking the machine’s
main power cable. Damaged extension cords MUST NOT be used and
need to be replaced. Always fully unwind the extension lead or cable reel,
as it will overheat otherwise
• In some situations you may want to power your machine off a
construction site generator or transformer. This is generally possible;
however, ensure that the power rating of the power source is at least
double the power rating of this machine, and that the power supplied is
of compatible voltage/frequency (see ‘Specifications’). Ensure that the
power source is equipped with automatic voltage regulation and surge
protection, as voltage peaks may result in tool damage.
