 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 dustrelated 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.

Hammer Safety Warnings

 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 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.
 Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with
an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse
(ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its
place by an authorised customer service agent. The
replacement plug should have the same fuse rating
as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard and should never be inserted
into a mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual
current device (RCD) with a rated residual current of
30 mA or less.
Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the
power source must agree with the voltage specified
on the nameplate of the machine. Power tools
marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

 Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance. Contact with electric lines
can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line
can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric shock.
