2 Safety warnings

2.1 General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

Follow the operating manual for the charger and the battery pack.

2.2 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 contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use appropriate detection devices to look for any hidden supply lines or consult your local utility company. If the insertion tool makes contact with live cables, it can result in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration of a water pipe can result in damage to property.
• Keep the power tool away from magnetic fields. The power tool may switch on unexpectedly and cause injury.
• Harmful/toxic dust may be produced during your work (e.g. paint containing lead, certain types of wood or metals). Contact with or inhalation of this dust may pose a risk for the operating personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regulations that apply in your country.
• Wear suitable breathing protection to protect your health. In enclosed spaces, ensure that there is sufficient ventilation.
• Use a dust extractor when working with dust.

Wear suitable personal protective equipment: Ear protection, safety goggles, a dust mask for work that generates dust.

CAUTION! Power tool can jam and cause sudden kickback! Switch off immediately!

• Firmly hold the power tool with both hands, with one hand on the handle [1-10] and the other hand on the auxiliary handle [1-4]. Be prepared for a high reaction torque, which may cause the power tool to turn and lead to injury.
• Do not use the power tool in the rain or in damp surroundings. Moisture in the power tool may cause a short circuit and fire.
• Wait until the power tool has come to a complete halt before placing it down. The insertion tool can get caught and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
• Avoid unintentional activation. Carrying the electric power tool with your fingers on the on/off switch can lead to accidents. When you are not using the power tool, set the switch for the transport lock [1-8] to the centre position.
• Do not manipulate or block controls, e.g. the on/off switch.

• Do not use power supply units to operate cordless power tools. Only use the intended battery packs. Do not use third-party chargers to charge the battery packs. The use of accessories not expressly authorised by the manufacturer can result in electric shocks and/or serious accidents.

• Warning of harmful light radiation. Do not look directly into the light beam. Do not direct the light beam towards other people or animals. Optical radiation can damage the eyes.

• Do not use any insertion tools or accessories that the manufacturer has not specially designed or recommended for this power tool. Just because you can attach accessories or insertion tools to your power tool does not guarantee that they can be used safely. This may increase the risk of injury, accelerate the wear on the power tool and decrease the quality of the working results.
• Depending on the type and use of the accessory, particles, the insertion tool or parts of the insertion tool could come loose. This can lead to increased exposure

to dust and to unexpected movements.

Wear suitable personal protective equipment. Be prepared for a high reaction torque, which may cause the power tool to turn and lead to injury.

2.3 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.

2.4 Emission levels

The levels determined in accordance with EN 62841 are typically:

Sound pressure level L _PA = 90 dB(A)

Sound power level L _WA = 101 dB(A)

Uncertainty K = 3 dB

CAUTION

Noise generated when working Risk of damage to hearing

▶ Always use ear protection.

Vibration emission level a_h (vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with EN 62841:

Chiselling a_h=12 m/s^2

$$ K = 1. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^ {2} $$

Hammer drilling in concrete a_h=13 m/s^2

$$ K = 1. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ^ {2} $$

The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)

• are used to compare machines.
• They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise load during operation.
• They represent the primary applications of the power tool.

CAUTION

The emission values may deviate from the specified values. This is dependent on how the tool is used and the type of workpiece being machined.

▶ Assess the actual load during the entire operating cycle.
▶ Depending on the actual load, suitable protective measures must be defined in order to protect the operator.

3 Intended use

Cordless rotary hammer suitable

• for hammer drilling and for light chiselling work in concrete, tiles and stone,
• for drilling without hammer action in wood, metal, ceramic and plastic,
• for screwing in and tightening screws.

The user is liable for damage and accidents caused by improper and non-inten-

ded use; this also includes damage and wear caused by continuous industrial operation.
