WARNING:
USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD
DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in
a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure
to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease),
cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with the dust. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/
OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR HAMMER DRILLS
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to the hammer drill
safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. 

CAUTION:
Do not change the direction of rotation until the tool comes to a complete stop. Moving the “forward/reverse” lever
while the drill chuck is rotating can cause damage to the tool.
 CAUTION:
Always check the direction of rotation before tool operation.
 CAUTION:
This drill is not designed for hammering in the reverse or counter-clockwise direction. Failure to comply with this

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
CAUTION:
Always check the direction of rotation before operating the tool in the hammer drill mode. The tool must be set for
forward or clockwise rotation only. Failure to obey this caution may cause property damage.
CAUTION:
Do not change the operating mode until the tool has come to a complete stop. Moving the “mode selector” switch
while the drill is operating can cause damage to the tool.

TIPS FOR USING YOUR HAMMER DRILL
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and unplug the tool before changing accessories or
making adjustments. Failure to obey this warning may cause serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Be prepared for a sudden and tremendous twisting force or kick back exerted by the tool. The tendency for the drill to
grab or kick back in the opposite direction is caused by hole breakthrough, the hole becoming clogged with chips or
concrete/masonry dust, or by striking hidden reinforcing bar embedded in the concrete. Always maintain a firm grip
on both the auxiliary handle and switch handle during drilling and hammer drilling operations. Failure to be prepared
may result in loss of tool control and possible serious injury.

CAUTION:
DO NOT FORCE the tool. Too much pressure may cause bits to break, resulting in bodily injury. Excessive pressure
will cause bits to overheat, damaging the drill bit. Too little pressure keeps the bit from cutting, dulling the bit edges
due to excessive friction.
