Rules
_
WARNING!
To reduce
risk of injury,
user must read instruction
manual.
Failure
to follow
all instructions
listed below
may result
in electric
shock,
fire
and/or serious
injury.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings
listed below
refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless)
power
tool
SAVE
THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and we# lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres,
such as in the presence
of
flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children
and bystanders
away while operating
a power tooL Distractions can
cause you to lose control
2) ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
b) Avoid body contact
with earthed or grounded
surfaces
such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earth-
ed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling
or unplugging
the
power tooL Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. Replace or repair damaged cords.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
e) When operating
a power tool outdoors,
use an extension
cord suitable
for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.

3) 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
c) A void accidental
starting.
Ensure the switch
is in the off-position
before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
g) ff devices are provided
for the connection
of dust extraction
and collection
facili-
ties, ensure these are connected
and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND 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
tools
operation,
ff
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
and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, 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.
5) 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.
Additional
Safety
Instructions
for Rotary
Chisel
Hammers
•
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Be certain that the material being drilled does not conceal electric or gas service and that
their locations have been verified with the utility companies.
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary
handles supplied with the tool Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate this tool without holding #
with both hands. 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 before use.
•
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 appli-
cations that generate dust. Ear protection may be required for most applications.
•
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 encoun-
tering hard materials such as re-bar may be hazardous as well.
•
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 rest periods.
•
Do not recondition
bits yourself.
Chisel reconditioning should be done by an authorized
specialist. Improperly reconditioned chisels could cause injury.
•
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 bare
hands.
•
Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete
stop. Moving bits could
cause injury.
•
Do not strike jammed
bits with a hammer
to dislodge
them. Fragments of metal or
material chips could dislodge and cause injury.
•
Slightly
worn chisels can be resharpened
by grinding.
•
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 of control
NOTE: Do not overheat the bit (discoloration)
while grinding a new edge. Badly worn chisels
require reforging. Do not reharden and temper chisels.
_ CAUTION:
Wear appropriate
personal
hearing
protection
during
use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
_ WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction
activities contains
chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged
contact
with dust from power sanding,
sawing,
grinding,
drilling,
and other construction
activities.
Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may pro-
mote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
