operate the tool. 
13. Do not overreach. 
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 
14. Maintain tools with care. 
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and 
safer performance. Follow instructions for 
lubrication and changing accessories. Inspect tool 
cord periodically and if damaged have it repaired 
by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension 
cords periodically and replace, if damaged. Keep 
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. 
15. Disconnect tools. 
When not in use, before servicing and when 
changing accessories such as blades, bits and 
cutters. 
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. 
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and 
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool 
before turning it on. 
17. Avoid unintentional starting. 
Do not carry a plugged-in tool with a finger on the 
switch. Ensure switch is off when plugging in. 
18. Use outdoor extension leads. 
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension 
cords intended for outdoor use. 
19. Stay alert. 
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. 
Do not operate tool when you are tired. 
20. Check damaged parts. 
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part 
that is damaged should be carefully checked to 
determine that it will operate properly and perform 
its intended function. Check for alignment of 
moving parts, free running of moving parts, 
breakage of parts, mounting and any other 
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or 
other part that is damaged should be properly 
repaired or replaced by an authorized service 
center unless otherwise indicated in this 
instruction manual. Have defective switches 
replaced by an authorized service facility. Do not 
use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and 
off. 
21. Warning. 
The use of any accessory or attachment, other 
than those recommended in this instruction 
manual or the catalog, may present a risk of 
personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES 
1. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can 
cause hearing loss. 
2. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. 
Loss of control can cause personal injury. 
3. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when 
performing an operation where the cutting tool 
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. 
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal 
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. 
4. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses 
and/or face shield. It is also highly 
recommended that you wear a dust mask and 
thickly padded gloves. 
5. Be sure the bit is secured in place before 
operation. 
6. 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. 
7. 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. 
8. Always be sure you have a firm footing. 
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in 
high locations. 
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. PROPER GROUNDING. This tool should be 
grounding while in use to protect the operator 
from electric shock.
