nameplate of the tool. A power source w i t h voltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY t o the user - as well as damage t o

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 tool is designed t o 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 n o t been used for a long time, let the
tool warm up for several minutes by operating
it
under no load. This will
loosen up the lubrication. Without proper warm-up, hammering operation
is difficult.
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
5.
Always be sure you have a firm footing.
6.
Hold the tool firmly w i t h both hands.
7.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
8. Do
not leave the tool running. Operate the tool 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.
I O .
When drilling or chipping into walls, floors or wherever "live" electrical wires
may be encountered,
DO
NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS
OF
THE TOOL!
Hold the tool by the insulated grasping surfaces t o prevent electric shock
if you drill or chip into a "live" wire.
11. Do
not touch the
bit
or parts close t o the bit immediately after operation;
