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

Only qualified and trained persons may operate or
maintain the machine. They must be physically able
to handle the bulk, weight, and power of the tool.
Always use your common sense and good
judgement.
Personal protective equipment
Always use approved protective equipment.
Operators and all other persons in the working area
must wear protective equipment, including at a
minimum:
> Protective helmet
> Hearing protection
> Impact resistant eye protection with side
protection
> Respiratory protection when appropriate
> Protective gloves
> Proper protective boots
> Appropriate work overall or similar clothing (not

Drugs, alcohol or medication
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.
► 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.

Safety and operating instructionsCP 0012
► 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 working 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.
