What are the general power tool safety warnings?

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off‐position before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• 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.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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.

What are the hammer safety warnings?

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles, 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.

---

What are some additional safety instructions for rotary hammers?

• Use the product only when it is in technically faultless condition.
• Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
• Use the auxiliary grips supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Apply appropriate safety measures at the opposite side of the workpiece in work that involves breaking through. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall down causing injury to other persons.
• Always hold the power tool with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips clean and dry.
• Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work in which the accessory tool might come into contact with concealed wiring. If the accessory tool comes into contact with a live wire, metal parts of the power tool can also become live, resulting in an electric shock.
• Avoid touching rotating parts – risk of injury!
• Wear suitable protective glasses, a hard hat, ear defenders, protective gloves and light respiratory protection while using the power tool.
• Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a risk of injury (cuts or burns).
• Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
• Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced when working. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection class in compliance with the locally applicable dust protection regulations. Dust from materials such as lead-based paint, certain types of wood and concrete/masonry/stone containing quartz, minerals or metal can be harmful to health.
• Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust such as oakwood and beechwood dust are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Only specialists are permitted to handle material containing asbestos.
• Take breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
• Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables, gas pipes and water pipes. External metal parts of the power tool can become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if you accidentally damage an electric cable.
• Immediately switch off the power tool if the accessory tool jams. The power tool might twist off-line.
• Wait until the power tool stops completely before you lay it down.

What is the intended use of this product?

The product is an electrically-powered combihammer with a pneumatic hammering mechanism. It is designed for drilling in concrete, masonry, wood, and metal. The product can also be used for light to medium-duty chiseling on masonry and surface finishing work on concrete. Under certain conditions, the product may also be suitable for stirring / mixing. The power tool may be operated only when connected to a power supply providing a voltage and frequency in compliance with the information given on its type plate.

---

What is the product not suitable for?

• This product is not suitable for working on hazardous materials.
• This product is not suitable for working in a damp environment.

---

What is Active Torque Control?

The tool is equipped with a mechanical slip clutch and an Active Torque Control (ATC) system. This system provides additional drilling safety and convenience as it causes rapid shutdown upon sudden rotation of the power tool about the drill bit axis. This may occur, for example, when the drill bit sticks due to hitting a rebar or when the drill bit is tilted unintentionally. Always choose a working position in which the body of the power tool, when running in a forward direction (clockwise), is free to rotate in a counterclockwise direction (as seen by the operator). When running in reverse, the tool reacts to sudden clockwise rotation. If rotational movement is not possible, the ATC system cannot react.

---

What is Active Vibration Reduction?

The tool is equipped with an Active Vibration Reduction (AVR) system which reduces vibration noticeably.

---

What is the Quick-release chuck?

The quick-release chuck makes it possible to change accessory tools quickly, without the need for a chuck key (keyless system). It is suitable for accessory tools with a cylindrical or hexagonal shank, such as drill bits for wood and metal, or mixing paddles, which are used in the rotary-only mode (without hammering action).
