3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits with
rotary hammers
1. Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit
tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds,
the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely
without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
2. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and
do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend,
causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in
personal injury.
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
recommended that you wear a dust mask and
thickly padded gloves.
2. Be sure the bit is secured in place before
operation.
3. Under normal operation, the tool is designed 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.
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.
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. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge and the bit are removed
before handing the tool to other person.
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 drill bit/
chisel may touch them, resulting an electric shock,
electrical leakage or gas leak.
14. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.

excessive heat, or explosion.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
10. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to
the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.
For commercial transports e.g. by third parties,
forwarding agents, special requirement on packaging
and labeling must be observed.
For preparation of the item being shipped, consulting
