h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of power tools allow you to become compla-
cent and ignore power tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
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 can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing tool attachments, or storing
power tools. Such precautionary measures re-
duce the risk of starting the power tool acciden-
tally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 and tool attachments
with care. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If 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 electric tools, insertion tools, etc. accord-
ing to these instructions. Take 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 haz-
ardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.

Service
a) Only have your power tool repaired by quali-
fied specialists and only with original spare
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Warning! This power tool generates an electromagnet-
ic field during operation. This field can impair active or
passive medical implants under certain circumstances.
In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries,
we recommend that persons with medical implants
consult with their physician and the manufacturer of
the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.
Safety instructions for hammers
1) Safety instructions for all work
• Wear hearing protection. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
• Use the additional grips if these are supplied with
the power tool. Loss of control can lead to injuries.
• When performing work during which the tool at-
tachment can meet with concealed power lines
or its own mains cable, hold the device by the in-
sulated gripping surfaces. Contact with a live wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool live
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Other safety and working instructions
WARNING ≥ 16 kg
• Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
• Use the appropriate detection devices in order to
detect hidden supply lines or consult the local utility
company. Contact with electrical lines can result in
fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas line can
lead to an explosion. Penetrating a water pipe caus-
es property damage or may cause an electric shock.
• Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and en-
sure firm footing. It is safer to guide the power tool
with two hands.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece held with a
clamping device or vice is held more securely than
with your hand
• Wear a dust protection mask.
• Using protective equipment. Always wear safety
goggles when working with the machine. Protective
clothing such as a dust protection mask, protective
gloves, sturdy and non-slip footwear and hearing
protection are absolutely necessary.
