Hammer Safety Warnings
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
ing 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 ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
source must correspond with the data on the type plate
of the machine.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to ex-
plosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
Firmly tighten the auxiliary handle, hold the machine
firmly with both hands while working and keep proper
footing and balance at all times. The machine is securely
guided with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Insert the SDS-max application tool: Check the latching
by pulling the tool.
Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
The dust protection cap largely prevents the penetration of
drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When in-
serting the tool, pay attention that the dust protection cap
is not damaged.
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health and cause allergic reactions, lead to respi-
ratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing as-
bestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
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 author-
ised 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 sock-
et elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
