ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR POWER
TOOL
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to hammer drill safety rules. If you use this power
tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure
to noise can cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3. Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
4. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
5. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
6. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.

ately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
