SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Read the enclosed safety warnings, the additional safety warnings and the instructions. Failure to follow the safety warnings and the instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save the safety warnings and the instructions for future reference.

The following symbols are used in the user manual or on the product:

• Read the user manual.
• Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in case of nonobservance of the instructions in this manual.
• Risk of electric shock
• Immediately remove the mains plug from the mains if the mains cable becomes damaged and during cleaning and maintenance.
• Always wear eye protection!
• Wear hearing protection.
• Wear safety gloves.
• Do not dispose of the product in unsuitable containers.
• The product is in accordance with the applicable safety standards in the European directives.

Additional safety warnings 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 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.

Electrical safety

• When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions.
  • Always check that the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate label.
  • Class II machine – Double insulation – You don’t need any earthed plug.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Replacement of power cords or plugs
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Mains plug replacement (UK only)

• If the moulded 3-pin plug attached to the unit is damaged and needs replacing, it is important that it is correctly destroyed and replaced by an approved BS1363/13A fused plug and that the following wiring instructions are followed.
• The wires in the mains cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:
  • blue neutral
  • brown live
• As the colours of the wires in the mains cable of the unit may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in the plug, proceed as follows:
  • The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
  • The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

Use of extension leads

• Only ever use approved extension leads that are suitable for the power rating of the machine. The minimum core thickness is 1.5 mm2. Whenever using a reel extension lead, always fully unroll the lead.
• Immediately switch off the machine when:
  • Excessive sparking of the carbon brushes.
  • Interruption of the mains plug, mains lead or mains lead damage.
  • Defect switch.
  • Smoke or stench of scorched isolation.

Technical specifications

Vibration level

• The vibration emission level stated in this instruction manual has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN60745. It may be used to compare one tool with another and as a preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when using the tool for the applications mentioned.
  • Using the tool for different applications, or with different or poorly maintained accessories, may significantly increase the exposure level.
  • The times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job, may significantly reduce the exposure level.
• Protect yourself against the effects of vibration by maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping your hands warm and organizing your work patterns.
