CAUTION:
Keep well-balanced posture when holding the
heavy tool before / during / after operation to
avoid personal injuries.
Secure debris in case of breaking it into smaller pieces.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on
and apply slight pressure on the tool so that the tool
will not bounce around, uncontrolled. Pressing very
hard on the tool will not increase the efficiency.
Do not pull out the tool if stuck. Instead, break
the work around the bit tip.
Be sure to place the tool on the stable floor or
ground after use.
