Rotary Hammer Safety Rules
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the
tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
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. Do not drill,
fasten or break into existing walls or other blind
areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this
situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or
circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
Use a metal detector to determine if there
are gas or water pipes hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company for
assistance before beginning the operation.
Striking or cutting into a gas line will result in
explosion. Water entering an electrical device
may cause electrocution.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Power tool use and care
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 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
p
ower tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
Holding the work by hand or against
your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Service
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.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be misplaced
or pinched or safety guard return springs
may be improperly mounted.
Certain
cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage
plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user, power cord must only be
serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Center
or Authorized Bosch Service Station.
