read the instruction manual.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings
and instructions Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit.
a)
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
b)
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
c)
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
a)
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
b)
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
c)
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
d)
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
e)
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
f)
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a)
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.
b)
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
WALT at the
E
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, 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.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
Awrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g)
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.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a)
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.
b)
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.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack 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.
d)
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.
e)
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.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g)
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.
5) SERVICE
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for
Rotary Hammers
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
Wear safety goggles or other eye
protection. Hammering operations cause chips
to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye
damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator for
applications that generate dust. Ear protection
may be required for most applications.
Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do
not attempt to operate this tool without
holding it with both hands. It is
recommended that the side handle be used at
all times. Operating this tool with one hand will
result in loss of control. Breaking through or
encountering hard materials such as re-bar may
be hazardous as well. Tighten the side handle
securely before use.
Do not operate this tool for long periods of
time. Vibration caused by hammer action may
be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves
to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by
taking frequent rest periods.
Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel
reconditioning should be done by an authorized
specialist. Improperly reconditioned chisels
could cause injury.
Wear gloves when operating tool or
changing bits. Accessible metal parts on the
tool and bits may get extremely hot during
operation. Small bits of broken material may
damage bare hands.
Never lay the tool down until the bit has
come to a complete stop. Moving bits could
cause injury.
Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer
to dislodge them. Fragments of metal or
material chips could dislodge and cause injury.
Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened
by grinding.
Keep the power cord away from the
rotating bit. Do not wrap the cord around
any part of your body. An electric cord
wrapped around a spinning bit may cause
personal injury and loss of control.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of rotary
hammers:
–
injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or
hot parts of the tool.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety devices,
certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
–
Impairment of hearing .
–
Risk of squeezing fingers when changing the
accessory.
Health hazards caused by breathing dust
–
developed when working in concrete and/or
masonry.
