1. Safety Information

Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury when using this power tool.

1.1 General Power Tool Safety Warnings

• Work Area Safety: Keep the 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.
• Electrical Safety: 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. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
• Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection when necessary. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool.

1.2 Specific Demolition Hammer Safety

• Secure Workpiece: Always ensure the material being worked on is stable and properly supported.
• Avoid Hidden Obstacles: Before starting work, check for hidden electrical wires, gas pipes, or water pipes in the work area.
• Proper Grip: Maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands. The tool can generate significant torque.
• Vibration: Prolonged use can cause vibration-related injuries. Take regular breaks and use anti-vibration gloves if available.
