Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the  
operator that are based on an estimation of  
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking  
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as  
the times when the tool is switched off and when it  
is running idle in addition to the trigger time).  
Work area safety  
1.  
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or  
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.  
Keep children and bystanders away while  
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause  
you to lose control.

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

General Power Tool 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.  
11. 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.  
12. 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.  
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.

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power  
tool is maintained.  
25. Follow instruction for lubricating and  
changing accessories.  
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and  
balance at all times. This enables better control  
of the power tool in unexpected situations.  
15. 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.  
16. 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.  
26. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and  
grease.

ROTARY HAMMER SAFETY  
WARNINGS  
1.  
2.  
3.  
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 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.  
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.  
Power tool use and care  
17. 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.  
18. 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.  
4.  
19. 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.  
5.  
6.  
Be sure the bit is secured in place before  
operation.  
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.  
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.  
Always be sure you have a firm footing.  
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in  
high locations.  
20. 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.  
21. 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.  
22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges  
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
23. 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.  
7.  
8.  
9.  
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.  
10. Keep hands away from moving parts.  
11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool  
only when hand-held.  
12. Do not point the tool at any one in the area  
when operating. The bit could fly out and  
injure someone seriously.  
13. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit  
immediately after operation; they may be  
extremely hot and could burn your skin.  
14. Some material contains chemicals which may  
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust  
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material

CAUTION:  
As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off

Bits such as hole saw, which tend to pintch or  
catch easily in the hole, are not appropriate for this  
tool. This is because they will cause the torque  
limiter to actuate too frequently.

and normal drilling may be resumed.  
CAUTION:  
There is a 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:  
The depth gauge cannot be used at the position  
where the depth gauge strikes against the gear  
housing.

You can drill up to 13 mm diameter in metal and up to 32

CAUTION:  
Never use "rotation with hammering" when the  
quick change drill chuck is installed on the tool.  
The quick change drill chuck 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.
