Work area safety advice to follow when using your Porter Cable power hammer

• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark work areas can invite accidents.
• Don't operate your power hammer in an explosive atmosphere such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. The power hammer motor produces sparks that can ignite dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating your power hammer. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the tool.

• Use the auxiliary handle to help control the power hammer and avoid personal injury.
• Don't insert your finger into the hammer sleeve at any time.
