SAFETY wARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow

the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of

electric shock.

Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) 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.

c) Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power tool.

2

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or

wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool

outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power

tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
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.

battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with

specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep

it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals

together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid

may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) 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.

RULES FOR hAMMER

1. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.

2. Hold power tools by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a
