Safety Notes for SDS Plus Rotary Hammers
WARNING: If you suspect or discover asbestos is present in any area you are working seek
professional advice immediately. Removal of asbestos should be carried out by a licensed
contractor.
▪ It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning the type of work
being undertaken.
▪ Persons with limited physical, sensorial or mental abilities are not allowed to use the
unit, unless they are supervised and briefed for their safety by a qualified person.
▪ Masonry drilling or chiselling can create sharp particles that will impact the operator.
Wear impact-resistant safety glasses.
▪ SDS rotary hammers produce a very high level of vibration when operating in hammer
or chisel mode. Frequent breaks are advised.
▪ Core drills should only be used with SDS drills featuring a safety clutch to prevent
jamming, which could cause an injury to the operator.
▪ If the safety clutch operates during use, quickly release the trigger and remove the core
drill or bit from the masonry surface being drilled. Do not continue work until the cause
of the safety clutch operating is understood.
▪ Do not operate SDS rotary hammers whilst up a ladder or in any location where there is
a risk of falling. SDS rotary hammers are heavy and produce strong vibration and high
torque in use.
