·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. ·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. ·Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. ·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. ·When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. ·If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
which it was designed. ·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. ·Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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. ·Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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. ·Maintain power tools and accessories. 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. ·Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. ·Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
ROTARY HAMMERS
·Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
·Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
·Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool 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.
·Keep hands away from all cutting edges and
moving parts.
·Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry

· WARNING Some dust created by power sand-
ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
·lead from lead-based paint
·crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
·arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
