erator’s manual, your tool, battery pack and

charger operator’s manuals, and all labels

on the dust extractor, battery pack, charger

and tool.

• Always use side handle assembly with the

correct neck diameter for the rotary hammer/

hammer drill. An ill-tting side handle will not

tightensecurely,causinglossofcontrol.

• Never use dust extractor without dust box and

HEPA lter in place. Never use water to clean

dust box or HEPA lter.

• Wear ear protection.Exposure to noise can

causehearingloss.

• Always use side handle provided with dust

extractor when using with a rotary hammer/

hammer drill. When dust extractor is removed

from the tool, always use side handle(s) sup-

plied with the tool. Loss of control can cause

personalinjury.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-

faces, when performing an operation where the
