ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR TOOL
This is a powerful concrete breaker. Caution needs to be observed
when operating.
1. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
2. Use auxiliary handle, if supplied with the tool. Loss of control
can cause personal injury.
3. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Always wear a dust mask. A lot of dust will be created by the
actions.
5. Safety boots are recommended at all times especially when using
the chisel actions.
6. Always wear proper safety gloves.

8. Do not use damaged or worn chisel bits.
9. Do not run the machine with any part of the casing missing or
damaged.
10. Use a line detector to localize lines in walls with concealed
electric, water or gas lines. Avoid touching live components or
conductors.
11. Always pay attention that chisel bits may be ung out of the
machine accidentally and cause serious injury.
12. Before starting to work, always check that the chisel or drill bit is
properly locked in the chuck.
13. Vibrations can injure the hand-arm system. Keep exposure to
vibrations as short as possible.
14. When carrying out work, always hold the tool with both hands
and ensure that you have a stable standing position.
