• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service
center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Hammers
• WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES or other eye protection.
• WEAR EAR PROTECTORS when hammering for extended
periods.
• ALWAYS USE THE SIDE HANDLE supplied with the tool. Keep a
firm grip on the hammer when it is operating.
• DON'T OVERREACH. Maintain a firm, balanced working stance.
When necessary, use only properly positioned, safe platforms,
ladders and scaffolds, to do the job safely.
• Hammer bits and tools get hot in operation. Wear gloves when
touching them.
•
CAUTION: When drilling or driving into walls, floors or
wherever "live" electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT
TOUCH ANY FRONT METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the
tool only by the plastic handle to prevent shock if you drill or drive
into a "live" wire.
