WARNING!

• The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
• The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for diff erent applications, used with diff erent accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. These conditions may signifi cantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
• An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
• Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
• WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifi cations provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re, and/or serious injury.

HAMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

• SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
• 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 the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING LONG DRILL BITS WITH ROTARY HAMMERS
• Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
• Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
