connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
* Note: Mains voltage: When connecting to the mains, it is
imperative to verify if the voltage of the mains matches that
of the power tool. If the mains voltage exceeds the voltage
indicated on the power tool, the user may become severely
injured in an accident, and the tool may be damaged. On
the contrary, if the mains voltage is lower than the voltage
required by the tool, the motor may be damaged as a result.
Thus, if it is not possible to verify the voltage, it is imperative
not to plug in to the power source.
Hammer safety warnings
u Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
ing loss.
u Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
uHold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a live wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool live and could give the
operator an electric shock.
u Never use a chisel accessory in rotary mode. The acces-
sory will bind in the material and rotate the drill.
u Use clamps or another practical way to secure and sup-
port the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
u Before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings, check for the
location of wiring and pipes.
u Avoid touching the tip of the drill bit after drilling so as to
avoid scalding.
u The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of
any operation with this tool other than those recommended
in this instruction manual may present a risk of personal
injury and/or damage to property.
Safety of others
u This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabili-
ties, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
uChildren should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Other risks
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc. In spite of the
application of the relevant safety regulations and the imple-
mentation of safety devices, certain risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
uInjuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
uInjuries caused when changing any parts, blades or acces-
sories.
uInjuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular breaks.
uImpairment of hearing.
uHealth hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
using your tool (example:- working with wood, especially
oak, beech and MDF.)
