a ) Have your power tool serviced by aqualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool ismaintained.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for Breakers
• Ensure the chisel is secured in place before operating the tool.
• In cold-weather conditions or when the tool has not been used
for alonger period of time, let the tool run with no load for
several minutes before use.
• Always hold the tool firmly with both hands and ensure
asecure stance. Always operate the tool with the side handle
properly mounted.
• When working above ground level ensure the area below is
clear.
• To prevent electric shock, check the working area for live wires
before operation.
• Do not touch the chisel or the parts close to the chisel
immediately after operation, as they may be extremely hot and
cause burns to the skin.
• Always direct the power cable to the rear, away from the chisel.
• Keep the power cable away from the accessory. Apower cable
wrapped around the bit may cause electric shock.
• Do not wrap the power cable around your body.
• Do not allow inexperienced users to use this tool.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
• Do not strike jammed accessories with ahammer to dislodge
them. Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge and
cause injury.
• Always switch off the tool when work is finished and before
unplugging.
• Do not recondition accessories yourself. Chisel reconditioning
should be done by aqualified specialist. Improperly
reconditioned accessories could cause injury. Only slightly worn
accessories can be resharpened by grinding.

Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of breakers:
• Injuries caused by touching the hot parts of the tool.
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 of hearing.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when changing the accessory.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
working in concrete and/or masonry.
• Physical trauma due to inappropriate lifting and carrying of
heavy equipment.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.
Your DeWALT tool is double insulated in accordance
with EN60745; therefore no earth wire is required.

WARNING: 115Vunits have to be operated via afail-safe
isolating transformer with an earth screen between the
primary and secondary winding.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
aspecially prepared cord available through the
DeWALT
serviceorganisation.
