18.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
19.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-
viced before using.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
20.
Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model.
Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.
SERVICE
21.
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel.
Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
may result in a risk of injury.
22.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES USB028-2
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to cordless rotary ham-
mer safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you
can suffer serious personal injury.
1.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
2.
Wear ear protectors when using the tool
for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise can cause hearing
loss.
3.
Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, because it does not
have to be plugged into an electrical out-
let.
4.
Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety
glasses and/or face shield. Ordinary eye
or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses. It
is also highly recommended that you wear
a dust mask and thickly padded gloves.
5.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before
operation.
6.
Under normal operation, the tool is
designed to produce vibration. The
screws can come loose easily, causing a
breakdown or accident. Check tightness
of screws carefully before operation.
7.
In cold weather or when the tool has not
been used for a long time, let the tool
warm up for several minutes by operating
it under no load. This will loosen up the
lubrication. Without proper warm-up,
hammering operation is difficult.
8.
Always be sure you have a firm footing.
9.
Be sure no one is below when using the
tool in high locations.
10.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
11.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
