GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
b. Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
c. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
d. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and hard
hat must be used for appropriate conditions.
3. 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. 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.
c. 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.
d. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
e. 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.
f. Always shut off the engine, allow the engine to cool and remove the spark plug before
performing any maintenance. Such preventative measures reduce the risk of starting the
demolition breaker accidentally.
g. Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep handles dry and clean;
free from oil and grease. Allows for better control of the power tool.
4. Service
a. Demolition breaker service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
b. When servicing a demolition breaker, 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 injury and may void your warranty.
