g)
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.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a)
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b)
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c)
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d)
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a)
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.
Additional Specifi c Safety Rules for
Rotary Hammers
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handle(s) if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
• 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.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection.
Hammering operations cause chips to fly. Flying
particles can cause permanent eye damage.
Wear a dust mask or respirator for applications
that generate dust. Ear protection may be
required for most applications.
• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times.
Do not attempt to operate this tool without
holding it with both hands. It is recommended
that the side handle be used at all times.
Operating this tool with one hand will result in
loss of control. Breaking through or encountering
hard materials such as re-bar may be hazardous
as well. Tighten the side handle securely before
use.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of
time. Vibration caused by hammer action may
be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves
to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by
taking frequent rest periods.
• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel
reconditioning should be done by an authorized
specialist. Improperly reconditioned chisels could
cause injury.
• Wear gloves when operating tool or changing
bits. Accessible metal parts on the tool and bits
may get extremely hot during operation. Small
bits of broken material may damage bare hands.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come
to a complete stop. Moving bits could cause
injury.
• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to
dislodge them. Fragments of metal or material
chips could dislodge and cause injury.
• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened by
grinding.
• Keep the power cord away from the rotating
bit. Do not wrap the cord around any part of
your body. An electric cord wrapped around a
spinning bit may cause personal injury and loss
of control.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of rotary
hammers:
- Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or
hot parts of the tool.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety devices,
certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
- Impairment of hearing.
- Risk of squeezing fingers when changing the
accessory.
