EN GLI SH
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
Contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
• Be certain that the material being drilled does
not conceal electric or gas service and that
their locations have been verified with the utility
companies.
• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not
attempt to operate this tool without holding it
with both hands. Operating this tool with one
hand will result in loss of control. Breaking
through or encountering hard materials such as
re-bar may be hazardous as well. Tighten the
side handle securely before use.
• Ensure the chisel is secured in place before
operating the tool.
• In cold-weather conditions or when the tool
has not been used for a longer period of time,
let the tool run with no load for several minutes
before use.

• Do not touch the chisel or the parts close to the
chisel immediately after operation, as they may
be extremely hot and cause burns to the skin.
• Always direct the power cable to the rear, away
from the chisel.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of
time. Vibration caused by hammer action may
be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves
to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by
taking frequent rest periods.
