DEMOLITION HAMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
2. Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.
3. When the work area is removed from the power source,
use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
4. Do not touch the bit during or immediately after
operation. The bit becomes very hot during operation
and could cause serious burns.
5. Before starting to break, chip into a wall, fl oor or ceiling,
thoroughly confi rm that such items as electric cables or
conduits are not buried inside.
6. At the start of work, confi rm screw tightening.
7. When working at a highly elevated location, pay attention
to articles and persons below.
8. Wear protective shoes to protect your feet.

operation. The dust can endanger the health of yourself
and bystanders.
10. Mounting the tool
○ To prevent accidents, make sure to turn the switch off
and disconnect the plug from the receptacle.
○ When using tools such as bull points, cutters, etc., make

impact rate selector switch while the motor is rotating.
To change speeds, switch off the tool fi rst.
12. Be sure to grip the handle and side handle during work.
Do not hold by the grip during work. If you pull it by
mistake, the bull point could jump out.
