d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with wa-
ter. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-
tery may cause irritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 265 °F may cause ex-
plosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
a. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
b. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal in-
jury.
c. 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.
d. Use clamps or another practical way to se-
cure and support the workpiece to a sta-
ble platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
e. Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where electrical
wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoid-
able, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers
feeding this worksite.
f. Use a metal detector to determine if there
are gas or water pipes hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company for as-
sistance before beginning the operation.
Striking or cutting into a gas line will result
in explosion. Water entering an electrical de-
vice may cause electrocution.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Safety Rules for Rotary Hammers
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at tempera-
tures outside the specified range may dam-
age the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Ser-
vice of battery packs should only be per-
formed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
g. Always use the side handle for maximum
control over torque reaction or kick-back.
Never attempt to operate this tool with one
hand. The slip clutch engages if you firmly
control the tool during a torque reaction or
kickback.
h. Always wear safety goggles or eye protec-
tion when using this tool. Use a dust mask
or respirator for applications that generate
dust. Safety goggles or eye protection will
help deflect fragments of the material that
may be thrown toward your face and eyes.
Dust generated or gases released from the
material you are cutting (i.e. asbestos insu-
lated pipes, radon) may cause respiratory
difficulties.
i.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the
exposure time by taking frequent rest pe-
riods. Vibration caused by hammer-drill ac-
tion may be harmful to your hands and arms.
j.
Position yourself to avoid being caught
between the tool or side handle and walls
or posts. Should the bit become bound or
jammed in the work, the reaction torque of
the tool could crush your hand or leg.
k. Do not strike the bit with a handheld ham-
mer or sledgehammer to attempt to dis-
lodge a bound or jammed bit. Fragments of
metal from the bit could dislodge and strike
you or bystanders.
