When using the drill, use safety equipment including

safety glasses or shield, ear defenders, and protective

clothing including safety gloves. Wear a dust mask if

the drilling operation creates dust.

WARNING.

Before connecting a tool to a power source

(mains socket power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure

that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on

the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage

greater than that specified for the tool can result in

serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool.
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source

with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful

to the motor.

Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will

be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the

manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury

resulting from such cases of misuse.
To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety

regulations, the assembly instructions and the operating

instructions to be found in this Manual. All persons who

use and service the machine have to be acquainted with

this Manual and must be informed about its potential

hazards. Children and frail people must not use this

Additional safety rules for rotary hammers

Do not use the rotary hammer in damp or wet areas.

Do not attempt to use the rotary hammer for a purpose

on which it was not designed. The rotary hammer will

give much better service if you do not use excessive

force. Excessive force will overheat the rotary hammer

and damage internal parts. Excessive force may cause

you to over balance causing damage and/or injury.

Be prepared for the initial torque reaction of the drill.

Chisel bits and drill bits may be thrown out of the

machine accidentally and cause serious injury. Before

starting to work always check that the chisel or drill bit

is properly locked in the chuck.

Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or

damage. Never start up a rotary hammer tool until it is

pressed against a work piece(bracket, wall, ceiling, etc).
