Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety precaution
allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
⚠CAUTION
DEMOLITION BREAKER HAMMER USE AND CARE
Do not force the hammer. Products are safer and do a better job when used in the manner for
which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.
Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the
product with a damaged part.
Do not use a product with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative

Page 6 of 19
before using.
Disconnect the power/air supply from the product and place the switch in the locked or off position
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store the hammer when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product.
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with
another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than
the tool itself.
Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in place.
Do not leave the tool running unattended.
Specific Operation Warnings
⚠WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury always wear eye protection
Wear ear protection with Hammer. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Wear heavy duty anti vibration gloves.
Be sure the bit is secured in place before operation.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
When drilling or screwing into walls, ceilings, etc., make sure beforehand that you will not damage
any hidden electric cables. During this work you should not touch any metal parts of the machine;
only touch the machine by the plastic housing.
Always be sure you have a firm footing.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
Be sure no one is below you when using the tool in high locations.
Do not point the tool at anyone in the area when operating. The bit could fly out and seriously
injure someone.
Burn hazard. Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit immediately after operation; they will be
extremely hot.
Grounding
⚠WARNING
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. This
unit is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed

Page 7 of 19
and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PROVIDED PLUG. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
Grounded Tools: Tools with 3-Prong Plugs
Tools marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The plug
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the
risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically live terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration.
Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two-Prong Plugs
Tools marked Double Insulated do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.
(See Figure B.)
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following illustration.
Extension Cords
⚠WARNING
USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When

Page 8 of 19
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 cause
overheating.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension
cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Grounded tools require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a 2- or 3-
wire extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in
loss of power and possible tool damage.
The smaller the wire’s gauge number, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14-
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. Minimum extension cord wire size is
shown in the following table:
Minimum Wire Size Of Extension Cords
Nameplate AMPS
Cord Length

NOT RECOMMENDED
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use
the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix W-A (Win
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
