Rotary Hammer Safety Rules
Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or it 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.
Wear ear protectors when using the tool for
extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
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.
Always use the side handle for maximum
control over torque reaction or kick-back.
Never attempt to operate this tool with one
hand.
The slip clutch engages if you firmly
control the tool during a torque reaction or
kickback.
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
e
asier to control.
U
se the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool,
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.
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.
