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.
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 power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool 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.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist.
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
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
operation. Striking or cutting into a gas line
will result in explosion. Water entering an
electrical device may cause electrocution.

Rotary Hammer Safety Rules
If this situation is
beginning
the
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.
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.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use a
dust mask or respirator for applications
that generate dust. Safety goggles or eye
protection will help deflect fragments of the
material that may be thrown toward your face
and eyes. Dust generated or gases released
from the material you are cutting (i.e.
asbestos insulated pipes, radon) may cause
respiratory difficulties.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the
exposure time by taking frequent rest
periods. Vibration caused by hammer-drill
action may be harmful to your hands and
arms.
Position the cord clear of rotating bit. Do
not wrap the cord around your arm or
wrist. If cord becomes entangled with the
spinning bit it could entrap you causing
serious personal injury.
Position yourself to avoid being caught
between the tool or side handle and walls
