Power supply
The machine should be connected only to a
power supply of the same voltage as indicated on
the nameplate, and can only be operated on sin-
gle-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated
in accordance with European Standard and can,
therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.

safety instructions.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety
glasses and/or face shield. It is also highly
recommended that you wear a dust mask,
ear protectors and thickly padded gloves.
2. Be sure the bit is secured in place before
operation.
3. Under normal operation, the machine is
designed to produce vibration. The screws
can come loose easily, causing a break-
down or accident. Check tightness of
screws carefully before operation.
4. In cold weather or when the machine has
not been used for a long time, let the
machine warm up for several minutes by
operating it under no load. This will loosen
up the lubrica tion. Without proper warm-
up, hammering operation is difficult.

7. Keep hands away from moving parts.
8. Do not leave the machine running. Operate
the machine only when hand-held.
9. Do not point the machine at any one in the
area when operating. The bit could fly out
and injure someone seriously.
10.When chipping into walls, floors or wher-
ever "live" electrical wires may be encoun-
tered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS
OF THE MACHINE!
Hold the machine by the insulated grasp-
ing surfaces to prevent electric shock if
you chip into a "live" wire.
11.Do not touch the bit or parts close to the
bit immediately after operation; they may
