Machine and tool
operating hazards
Warning
Sudden or unexpected movement of the machine
may occur during operation, which may cause
injuries. In addition loosing your balance or
slipping may cause injury. To reduce such risks:
Make sure that you always keep a stable position
with your feet as wide apart as your shoulder
width, and keep a balanced body weight.
Stand firmly and always hold on to the machine
with both hands.
Do not start the machine when it is laying on
the ground.
Make sure that the handles are clean and free of
grease and oil.
Warning
Unintended start of the machine may cause injury.
Keep your hands away from the start and stop
device until you are about to start work.
Warning
The working tool is exposed to heavy strains when
the machine is used and after a certain amount
of use the tool may break due to fatugue. If
the tool breaks, there may be sudden or strong
movements. Such sudden or strong movements
may cause serious injury.
Make sure that you always keep a stable position
with your feet as wide apart as your shoulder
width, and keep a balanced body weight.
Keep your feet away from the working tool.
Do not ’ride’ on the machine with one leg over
the handle, since you could be seriously injured
if the tool suddenly were to break.
Check regulary for any wear on the working
tool, and if there are any risks for damage or
fractures.
Do not use worn out or damaged working tools.
Warning
An incorrect dimension of the working tool's shank
can result in the working tool being dropped or
ejected. A dropped or ejected working tool can
cause personal injury.
Before the working tool is mounted, make sure
that the shank is correct for the machine.
An working tool without a collar should not be
used.
Warning
If the working tool retainer on the machine is not
in a locked position, the tool can be ejected with
great force, which can cause serious injury.
After the working tool is mounted and locked,
the lock function must be checked by pulling
the working tool sharply downwards.
Make sure that the tool is fully inserted and the
tool retainer is in a locked position before the
machine is started.

Changing the inserted tool while the machine is
running may cause serious injury.
Before changing the working tool, always stop
the machine and close down the machine by
pushing the start and stop device.
Warning
The exhaust pipe and the bottom of the machine
can become very hot during operation, and can
remain hot during a period of time after the
machine has been shut off.
To reduce the risk of burns or related injuries,
avoid contact with the exhaust pipe or the
bottom of the machine.
Fume and exhaust hazard
Danger
The exhaust fumes from the machine’s combustion
engine contain carbon monoxide which is
poisonous. Inhalation of exhaust fumes can cause
serious injury or death.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Never operate the machine indoors or in poorly
ventilated areas.
Explosion and fire hazard
Danger
If the machine comes in contact with explosives,
an explosion may occur. Explosions may cause
serious injury or death.
To reduce such risks of explosion:
Never operate the equipment near any
explosives, including dynamite or other
explosives in the rock.
Make sure that there are no explosives in the
rock.
Never break or drill in an old hole.
Warning
Breaking and working with certain materials can
cause sparks, which may ignite explosive gases
which can cause explosions. Explosions may cause
serious injury or death.
To reduce such risks of explosion:
Never operate the equipment in any explosive
environment.
Do not use the machine near flammable
materials, fumes or dust.
Make sure that there are no undetected sources
of gas.
Warning
During operation of the machine, the exhaust pipe
gets very hot and may stay hot for a period of time
even after you have shut off the engine. Materials
that come into contact with a hot exhaust pipe
may ignite and cause a fire or an explosion, which
can cause serious injury. To reduce such risks of fire
or explosion:
Do not use the machine near flammable
materials, fumes or dust. During breaks in
work, remember not to place the machine near
flammable materials.
Do not operate the machine in explosive
environments.
Keep the workplace clean and free from foreign
