Hammer Safety Warnings - SPIT 332 Manual Original

K eep children and bystanders away while ope-
 
rating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control .
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap-
ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock .
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded .
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock .
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock .
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock .
I f operating a power tool in a damp location is
 
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock .
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury .
U se personal protective equipment. Always wear
 
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries .
P revent unintentional starting. Ensure the
 
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents .
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury .
D o not overreach. Keep proper footing and
 
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations .
D ress 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 .
I f 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 .
D o 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 chil-

dren 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 .
M aintain 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 .
K eep 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
H ave 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 .
