surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-
ing 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.
Additional safety warnings
1. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses
and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sun glasses
are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask and thickly
padded gloves.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before

operation.
Under normal operation, the tool is designed
3.
to produce vibration. The screws can come
loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident.
Check tightness of screws carefully before
operation.
4. In cold weather or when the tool has not been
used for a long time, let the tool warm up for
a while by operating it under no load. This
will loosen up the lubrication. Without proper
warm-up, hammering operation is difficult.
5. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no
one is below when using the tool in high locations.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Keep hands away from moving parts.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
8.
only when hand-held.
9. Do not point the tool at any one in the area
when operating. The bit could fly out and
injure someone seriously.
10. Do not touch the bit, parts close to the bit, or
workpiece immediately after operation; they
may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
11. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
12. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
13. Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the working area. Otherwise, the
bit may touch them, resulting an electric shock,
electrical leakage or gas leak.
14. Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
