Chargers
chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
as easy as possible tooperate.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.
Your
charger is double insulated in
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
isrequired.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the
serviceorganisation.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of rotary hammers:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or hot parts of
thetool.
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 ofhearing.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when changing theaccessory.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
working in concrete and/ormasonry.

Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the oldplug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earthterminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 3A.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for
the power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The
minimum conductor size is 1mm
2
; the maximum length
is30m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery
Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for compatible battery
chargers (refer to TechnicalData).
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using
batterypack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger. Electric shock mayresult.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA orless.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only
rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury anddamage.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with theappliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such
as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any
chargers other than the ones in this manual. The charger
and battery pack are specifically designed to worktogether.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
charging
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses
may result in risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain orsnow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger. This will reduce risk ofdamage to electric plug
andcord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on,
tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage orstress.
for applications that generate dust. Ear protection may be
required for mostapplications.
• 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 beforeuse.
• 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 restperiods.
• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning should
be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly reconditioned
chisels could causeinjury.
• 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
barehands.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a complete
stop. Moving bits could causeinjury.
• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge them.
Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge and
causeinjury.
• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened bygrinding.
