GENERAL SAFETY RULES

(For All Tools)

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Work Area

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

4. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug ( one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation

the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

5. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is grounded.

eliminates the need for

HR2450 / HR2450F

HR2451 HR2452

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to

carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

8. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.

Tool Use and Care

15. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

18. Disconnect the plug from the power source

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, and any other

condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained tools.

22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

24. When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to rotary hammer safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.

1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when

12 16 14 12

USB010-2

performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal

parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

2. Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.

3. 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.

4. Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation.

Not Recommended

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.

8. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

9. Keep hands away from moving parts.

10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

11. Do not point the tool at any one in the area when operating. The bit could fly out and injure someone seriously.

12. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

13. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

OPERATION

Hammer drilling operation

Set the action mode changing knob to the Position the bit at the desired location for the hole, then pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position and prevent it from slipping away from the hole. Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling may be resumed.

CAUTION:

• There is tremendous and sudden twisting force

exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break-through, when the hole becomes clogged with chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing rods embedded in the concrete. Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool by both side grip and switch handle during operations. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control of the tool and potentially severe injury.

NOTE:

• Eccentricity in the bit rotation may occur while

operating the tool with no load. The tool automatically centers itself during operation. This does not affect the driling precision.

Set the action mode changing knob to the

symbol. Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and apply slight pressure on the tool so that the tool will not bounce around, uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on the tool will not increase the efficiency.

Drilling in wood or metal

1. Drill chuck assembly

001303

Use the optional drill chuck assembly. When installing it, refer to "Installing or removing the bit" described on the previous page. Set the action mode changing knob to the

symbol. You can drill up to 13 mm(1/2") diameter in metal and up to 32 mm(1-1/4") diameter in wood.

CAUTION:

• Never use "rotation with hammering" when the drill

chuck assembly is installed on the tool. The drill chuck assembly may be damaged. Also, the drill chuck will come off when reversing the tool.

• Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up

the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

• There is a tremendous twisting force exerted on

the tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough. Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece.

• A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the

reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.

• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar

hold-down device.

• When performing diamond core drilling operations,

always set the change lever to the

position to use "rotation only" action. If performing diamond core drilling operations using "rotation with hammering" action, the diamond core bit may be damaged.
