Safety instructions

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to
yourself or others, read and understand the Safety
and operating instruction before installing, operating,
repairing, maintaining, or changing accessories on
the machine.

Post this Safety and operating instruction at work
locations, provide copies to employees, and make
sure that everyone reads the Safety and operating
instruction before operating or servicing the machine.

In addition, the operator or the operator's employer
must assess the specific risks that may be present
as a result of each use of the machine.

Safety signal words

The safety signal words Danger, Warning and
Caution have the following meanings:

Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.

DANGER

WARNING Drugs, alcohol or medication

Drugs, alcohol or medication may impair your
judgment and powers of concentration. Poor
reactions and incorrect assessments can lead to
severe accidents or death.

► Never use the machine when you are tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.

► No person who is under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medication may operate the machine.

Installation, precautions

DANGER Whipping air hose

A compressed air hose that comes loose can lash
around and cause personal injury or death. To reduce
this risk:

► Check that the compressed air hose and the

connections are not damaged, replace if
necessary.

► Check that all compressed air connections are

properly attached.

► Never carry a pneumatic machine by the air hose.

► Never attempt to disconnect a compressed air

hose that is pressurized. First switch off the
compressed air at the compressor and then bleed
the machine by activating the start and stop
device.

► Never point a compressed air hose at yourself or

anyone else. To avoid the risk of getting injured,
never use compressed air to blow for example
dust, dirt etc. from your clothes.

► Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool inlet.

Use hardened steel (or material with comparable
shock resistance) threaded hose fittings.

► Whenever universal twist couplings (claw

couplings) are used, we recommend that lock pins
are installed and whipcheck safety cables are used
to safeguard against possible hose to tool and
hose to hose connection failure.

WARNING Ejected insertion tool

If the tool retainer on the machine is not in a locked
position, the inserted tool can be ejected with force,
which can cause personal injury.

► Never start the machine while changing the

insertion tool.

► Before changing the insertion tool or accessories,

stop the machine, switch off the power supply and
bleed the machine by activating the start and stop
device.

► Never point the inserted tool at yourself or anyone

else.

► Make sure that the insertion tool is fully inserted

and the tool retainer is in a locked position before
the machine is started.

► Check the locking function by pulling the inserted

tool outwards forcefully.

WARNING Moving or slipping insertion tool

An incorrect dimension of the inserted tool’s shank
can result in that the inserted tool is lost or is slipping
out during operation. Risk of severe injury or crushed
hands and fingers.

► Check that the insertion tool has the shank length

and dimensions that the machine is intended for.

► Never use an insertion tool without a collar.

Operation, precautions

DANGER Explosion hazard

If an insertion tool comes into contact with explosives
or explosive gases, an explosion could occur. When
working on certain materials and when using certain
materials in machine parts, sparks and ignition can
occur. Explosions will lead to severe injuries or death.

► Never operate the machine in any explosive

environment.

► Never use the machine near flammable materials,

fumes or dust.

► Make sure that there are no undetected sources

of gas or explosives.

WARNING Unexpected movements

The inserted tool is exposed to heavy strains when
the machine is used. The inserted tool may break
due to fatigue after a certain amount of use. If the
inserted tool breaks or gets stuck, there may be
sudden and unexpected movement that can cause
injuries. Furthermore, losing your balance or slipping
may cause injury.

► Make sure that you always keep a stable position

with your feet as far apart as your shoulder width,
and keeping a balanced body weight.

► Always inspect the equipment prior to use. Never

use the equipment if you suspect that it is
damaged.

► Make sure that the handles are clean and free of

grease and oil.

► Keep your feet away from the inserted tool.

► Stand firmly and always hold on to the machine

with both hands.

► Never start the machine when it is lying on the

ground.

► Never ‘ride’ on the machine with one leg over the

handle.

► Never strike or abuse the equipment.

► Check regularly for wear on the insertion tool, and

check whether there are any signs of damage or
visible cracks.

► Pay attention and look at what you are doing.

WARNING Dust and fume hazard

Dusts and/or fumes generated or dispersed when
using the machine may cause serious and permanent
respiratory disease, illness, or other bodily injury (for
example, silicosis or other irreversible lung disease
that can be fatal, cancer, birth defects, and/or skin
inflammation).

Some dusts and fumes created by drilling, breaking,
hammering, sawing, grinding and other construction
activities contain substances known to the State of
California and other authorities to cause respiratory
disease, cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of such substances are:

● Crystalline silica, cement, and other masonry

products.

● Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

rubber.

● Lead from lead-based paints.

Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to the
naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to determine
if there is dust or fumes in the air.

To reduce the risk of exposure to dust and fumes,
do all of the following:

► Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk

assessment should include dust and fumes
created by the use of the machine and the
potential for disturbing existing dust.

► Use proper engineering controls to minimize the

amount of dust and fumes in the air and to
minimize build-up on equipment, surfaces,
clothing, and body parts. Examples of controls
include: exhaust ventilation and dust collection
systems, water sprays, and wet drilling. Control
dusts and fumes at the source where possible.
Make sure that controls are properly installed,
maintained and correctly used.

► Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory

protection as instructed by your employer and as
required by occupational health and safety
regulations. The respiratory protection must be
effective for the type of substance at issue (and if
applicable, approved by relevant governmental
authority).

► Work in a well ventilated area.

► If the machine has an exhaust, direct the exhaust

so as to reduce disturbance of dust in a dust filled
environment.

► Operate and maintain the machine as

recommended in the operating and safety
instructions

► Select, maintain and replace consumables/

inserted tools/ other accessory as recommended
in the operating and safety instructions. Incorrect
selection or lack of maintenance of consumables/
inserted tools/ other accessories may cause an
unnecessary increase in dust or fumes.

► Wear washable or disposable protective clothes

at the worksite, and shower and change into clean
clothes before leaving the worksite to reduce
exposure of dust and fumes to yourself, other
persons, cars, homes, and other areas.

► Avoid eating, drinking, and using tobacco products

in areas where there is dust or fumes.

► Wash your hands and face thoroughly as soon as

possible upon leaving the exposure area, and
always before eating, drinking, using tobacco
products, or making contact with other persons.

► Comply with all applicable laws and regulations,

including occupational health and safety
regulations.

► Participate in air monitoring, medical examination

programs, and health and safety training programs
provided by your employer or trade organizations
and in accordance with occupational health and
safety regulations and recommendations. Consult
with physicians experienced with relevant
occupational medicine.

► Work with your employer and trade organization

to reduce dust and fume exposure at the worksite
and to reduce the risks. Effective health and safety
programs, policies and procedures for protecting
workers and others against harmful exposure to
dust and fumes should be established and
implemented based on advice from health and
safety experts. Consult with experts.

WARNING Projectiles

Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even of
the machine itself may generate high velocity
projectiles. During operating, splinters or other
particles from the working material may become
projectiles and cause personal injury by striking the
operator or other persons. To reduce these risk:

► Use approved personal protective equipment and

safety helmet, including impact resistant eye
protection with side protection.

► Make sure that no unauthorised persons trespass

into the working zone.

► Keep the workplace free from foreign objects.

► Ensure that the work piece is securely fixed.
