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 compaction work 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 are 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 must 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.

► Never strike or abuse the machine.

► Pay attention and look at what you are doing.

Original instructions

► 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

► 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.

Page 7

LF 100Safety and operating instructions

► 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 in 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 must be established and implemented based on advice from health and safety experts. Consult with experts.

DANGER Exhaust gas hazard

The exhaust gas from the machine’s combustion engine contains carbon monoxide which is poisonous, and chemicals known to the State of California and other authorities to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Inhalation of exhaust fumes can cause serious injury, illness, or death.

► Never inhale exhaust fumes.

WARNING Slope hazards

During operation, secure the machine so it can not fall if it is placed on a sloping ground. A fall can lead to severe accidents and result in personal injury.

► Always ensure that all personnel in the working

area are higher up the slope than the machine.

► Always operate the machine straight up and down

when placed on slopes.

► Never exceed the maximum recommended slope

angle when operating the machine. Follow the recommendations.

WARNING Motion hazards

When using the machine to perform work-related activities, you may experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the body.

► Adopt a comfortable posture while maintaining

secure footing and avoiding awkward off-balanced postures.

► Changing posture during extended tasks may help

► In case of persistent or recurring symptoms,

consult a qualified health professional.

► Ensure good ventilation (extraction of air by fan if

necessary).

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 compacted 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.

WARNING Vibration hazards

Normal and proper use of the machine exposes the operator to vibration. Regular and frequent exposure to vibration may cause, contribute to, or aggravate injury or disorders to the operator’s fingers, hands, wrists, arms, shoulders and/or nerves and blood supply or other body parts, including debilitating and/or permanent injuries or disorders that may develop gradually over periods of weeks, months, or years. Such injuries or disorders may include damage to the blood circulatory system, damage to the nervous system, damage to joints, and possibly damage to other body structures.

If numbness, persistent recurring discomfort, burning sensation, stiffness, throbbing, tingling, pain, clumsiness, weakened grip, whitening of the skin, or other symptoms occur at any time, when operating the machine or when not operating the machine, stop operating the machine, tell your employer and seek medical attention. Continued use of the machine after the occurrence of any such symptom may increase the risk of symptoms becoming more severe and/or permanent.

Operate and maintain the machine as recommended in these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration.

The following may help to reduce exposure to vibration for the operator:

► If the machine has vibration absorbing handles,

keep them in a central position, avoid pressing the handles into the end stops.

► When the percussion mechanism is activated, the

only body contact with the machine you must have are your hands on the handle or handles. Avoid any other contact, for example supporting any part of the body against the machine or leaning onto the machine trying to increase the feed force.

► Make sure that the machine is well-maintained

and not worn out.

► Immediately stop working if the machine suddenly

starts to vibrate strongly. Before resuming the work, find and remove the cause of the increased vibrations.

► Participate in health surveillance or monitoring,

medical exams and training programs offered by your employer and when required by law.

► When working in cold conditions wear warm

clothing and keep hands warm and dry.

Noise and vibration declaration statement

Guaranteed sound power level Lw according to EN ISO 3744 in accordance with directive 2000/14/EC.

Sound pressure level Lp according to EN ISO 11201, EN 500-4.

Vibration value determined according to EN 500-4. See table ”Noise and vibration data” for the values etc.

These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing in accordance with the stated directive or standards and are suitable for comparison with the declared values of other machines tested in accordance with the same directive or standards. These declared values are not suitable for use in risk assessments and values measured in individual work places may be higher. The actual exposure values and risk of harm experienced by an individual user are unique and depend upon the way the user works, in what material the machine is used, as well as upon the exposure time and the physical condition of the user, and the condition of the machine.

We, Construction Tools EOOD, cannot be held liable for the consequences of using the declared values, instead of values reflecting the actual exposure, in an individual risk assessment in a work place situation over which we have no control.

This machine may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed. An EU guide to managing hand-arm vibration can be found at http://www.humanvibration.com/humanvibration/EU/VIBGUIDE.html

We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms which may relate to vibration exposure, so that management procedures can be modified to help prevent future impairment.
