Safety Precautions

1. Protective Gear:
   • Eye Protection: Always wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from dust, debris, and any potential projectiles.
   • Hearing Protection: Use earplugs or earmuffs to safeguard your hearing, especially when working in confined spaces or for extended periods.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
   • Wear appropriate clothing, including long sleeves, long pants, and sturdy work boots, to protect against potential injuries or contact with materials.
3. Read the Manual:
   • Familiarize yourself with the user manual provided by the manufacturer. It contains essential information on proper usage, maintenance, and safety precautions.
4. Secure Work Area:
   • Ensure a clean and well-lit work environment to avoid tripping hazards and improve visibility.
   • Keep bystanders and unauthorized personnel at a safe distance from the work area.
5. Stable Position:
   • Stand in a stable position with a firm footing. Do not overreach, and maintain balance to prevent accidental slips or falls.
6. Secure Material:
   • Secure the material you are working on to prevent it from moving or vibrating excessively during operation.
7. Chuck Inspection:
   • Before use, inspect the chuck and drill bit for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the chuck is securely tightened.
8. Correct Tool and Bit Selection:
   • Use the appropriate tool and drill bit for the material you are working on. Consult the tool manual for guidance on suitable accessories.
9. Switch Off When Not in Use:
   • Switch off the rotary hammer and disconnect it from the power source when not in use, during breaks, or when changing drill bits.
10. Power Source Safety:
    • If using a corded rotary hammer, ensure the power cord is in good condition, and use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) when working in damp or wet conditions.
11. Proper Grip:
    • Hold the tool with both hands, ensuring a firm and comfortable grip. This provides better control and reduces the risk of injury.
12. Avoid Excessive Force:
    • Let the tool do the work. Do not apply excessive force, as it can lead to loss of control and potential injury.
13. Ventilation:
    • Work in well-ventilated areas, especially when drilling into materials that produce dust or fumes.
14. Training:
    • Ensure that operators are trained on the proper use of the SDS Rotary Hammer, including the different operation modes.
15. Emergency Preparedness:
    • Be aware of the location of emergency exits and have a first aid kit readily available. Know how to respond in case of an emergency.
