• Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories, and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, 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.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a
quali�ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Hammer safety warnings
Safety instructions for all operations
- Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
- Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied
with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
- Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
or fasteners may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutting accessory or
fasteners contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.

Safety instructions when using long drill
bits with rotary hammers
- Always start drilling at low speed and
with the bit tip in contact with the
workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is
likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely
without contacting the workpiece,
resulting in personal injury.
- Apply pressure only in direct line with the
bit and do not apply excessive pressure.
Bits can bend, causing breakage or loss of
control, resulting in personal injury.
Additional safety information
- 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 �re and electric shock. Damaging
a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
- Always wait until the power tool has
come to a complete stop before placing
it down. The application tool can jam and
cause you to lose control of the power
tool.
- Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a
vice is held more secure than by hand.
- Your product is �tted with an BS 1363/A
approved electric plug with internal fuse
(ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug
is not suitable for your socket outlets,
it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug �tted in its place by an authorized
customer service agent. The replacement
plug should have the same fuse rating as
the original plug.
- The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard and should
never be inserted into a mains socket
elsewhere.
