Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, or cause death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT
use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located outlet. It is required
that licensed electricians do all electrical wiring. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with
applicable local and national codes and regulations. Before working on pump or motor, disconnect
motor wiring.
People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic elds in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
Before plugging in the tool, be certain the outlet voltage supplied is within the voltage marked on the
nameplate. Do not use “AC only” rated tools with a DC power supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. If operating the power tool in damp
locations is unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to supply the power to your
tool. Electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W.” These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Always use both handles for maximum control over this hammer. Never attempt to operate this tool with
one hand. This tool develops intense percussive forces during operation and you may lose control if
attempting one hand operation.
