ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR HAMMERS
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR HAMMERS
• Wear ear protectors with rotary hammers. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use the auxiliary handle supplied with the machine. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
• During operation provide eye protection to prevent eyes from exposure to flying
particles. Wear goggles.
• Take protective measures against inhalation of dust. Some materials can contain toxic
ingredients. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/ chip extraction when connectable.
• Be aware that this tool is always in operating condition, because it does not have to
be plugged into an electrical outlet. Always set the trigger switch to the locked OFF
position when installing or removing the battery pack.
• Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing operations
where the operating tool could contact hidden wiring. Contact with a «live» wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the power tool «live» and shock the operator.
• Do not process materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
• While operating the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stance. The power tool is guided more securely with both hands.
• Prior to operation use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the
work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can
lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a
water line causes property damage or may cause electric shock.
• Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
• Use clamps or a vice to secure your work whenever possible.
• Watch out for the initial torque reaction of the machine or upon jamming the drill bit.
Switch the power tool immediately upon jamming the drill bit. Watch out for high
reactive torque which may result in kick-back. The drill bit will block if the power tool is
overloaded or if the bit jams into the material.
• Do not touch the drill bit or the processed part during operation and immediately after
that; they may be extremely hot. You may get serious burns.
• Keep work area clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light
alloys can burn or explode.
• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.
• Always switch the machine off prior to leaving it down.
