▶ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
▶ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
▶ If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 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 qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

2.1.2 Hammer safety warnings

▶ Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Use auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▶ Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

2.1.3 Additional safety instructions

Personal safety
▶ Modification of the power tool is not permitted.
▶ Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Check that the side handle is fitted correctly and tightened securely. Always hold the tool securely
with both hands on the grips provided.
▶ Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
▶ The power tool is not intended for use by debilitated persons who have received no special training.
▶ Keep the power tool out of reach of children.
▶ Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially rotating drill bits or other accessories, may lead to injury.
▶ Dust from materials, such as paint containing lead, some wood species, concrete / masonry / stone
containing silica, and minerals as well as metal, may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain
kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust, especially in conjunction with
additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos may be
handled only by specialists. Use a dust removal system whenever possible. To achieve a high level
of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner. When indicated, wear a respirator appropriate
for the type of dust generated. Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Follow national
requirements for the materials you want to work with.
