Safety Precautions

1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

   • Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses or a face shield to protect your eyes from dust, debris, and potential flying particles.

   • Ear Protection: If the rotary hammer generates a high level of noise, use earplugs or earmuffs to protect your hearing.

   • Respiratory Protection: If working in a dusty environment, use a dust mask or respirator to prevent inhalation of airborne particles.

2. Clothing:

   • Wear appropriate work attire, including long sleeves, pants, and steel-toed boots to protect against potential injuries from falling debris or accidental contact with the tool.

3. Work Area Safety:

   • Ensure the work area is well-lit to enhance visibility.

   • Keep the work area clean and free of clutter to prevent tripping hazards.

   • Mark and secure any potential tripping hazards, such as cords or hoses.

4. Tool Inspection:

   • Before use, inspect the rotary hammer and the SDS steel set for any damage or defects. Do not use damaged tools or accessories.

   • Ensure that the drill bits or chisels are securely attached to the SDS chuck.

5. Secure Workpiece:

   • Secure the workpiece properly to prevent movement or slippage during drilling or chiseling.

   • Use clamps or other appropriate methods to secure the material in place.

6. Proper Tool Handling:

   • Hold the rotary hammer with both hands and maintain a firm grip during operation.

   • Do not override the tool's capacity. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding the maximum drilling or chiseling capacities.

7. Correct Tool for the Task:

   • Use the appropriate SDS steel attachment for the specific task at hand.

   • Avoid using excessive force, and let the tool work at its own pace.

8. Power Source Safety:

   • When using a corded rotary hammer, make sure the power cord is in good condition and properly grounded.

   • If using a cordless rotary hammer, ensure that the battery is fully charged.

9. Switch Off When Not in Use:

   • Always switch off the rotary hammer and disconnect it from the power source when changing drill bits or when the tool is not in use.

10. Training and Familiarity:

    • Only trained and authorized personnel should operate the rotary hammer.

    • Familiarize yourself with the tool's user manual and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
