RRH06P
• Never trigger a hammer unless held against the work
piece.
• Use vibration dampened tools if available.
• Reduce the total time of exposure to vibrations, especially
if the chisel has to be guided by hand.
• Release the start and stop device in case of interruption of
energy supply
• Use the adjustable hand guard for supporting the ma-
chine, if it is provided with this.
Do not hold your hands on the chisel, die or punch.
• Check regularly that the retainer is fully screwed on to
the cylinder.
Note the risk of shooting out the chisel die or punch if the
retainer is not in order or damaged.
After the work is finished
• When finishing a job, disconnect the tool from its air sup-
ply.
• Make sure that the tool is switched off and has come to a
complete stop before it is put down.
• Put down the tool carefully, so that there is no risk of the
tool starting by itself.
• Remove the chisel, die or punch when the work is over.

Air supply and connection hazards
• Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and
disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before
changing accessories or when making repairs.
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check
for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
• Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. Use hard-
ened steel (or material with comparable shock resistance)
threaded hose fittings. See instructions for correct set up.
• Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins
must be installed.

• Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 6.3 bar / 90 psig,
or as stated on tool nameplate.
Projectile hazards
• Always shut off air supply, relieve hose of air pressure
and disconnect tool from air supply when changing ac-
cessories.
• Failure of the workpiece, accessory, retainer or even of
the tool itself could generate high velocity projectiles.
Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blind-
ness.
• Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection
when involved with or near the operation, repair or main-
tenance of the tool or changing accessories on the tool.
• Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant
eye and face protection.
• Never operate a tool unless the accessory is retained in
the tool with a proper retainer (see parts list).
• To avoid injury, retainer parts must be replaced when
they become worn, cracked or distorted.
• On overhead work, wear a safety helmet.
• Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.
• Hold the accessory firmly against the work surface before
starting the tool.
Operating hazards
• Use of the tool can expose the operator's hands to haz-
ards, including impacts, cuts and abrasions and heat.
Wear suitable gloves to protect the hands.
• Avoid direct contact with accessory and work surface
during and after work as they become heated and sharp.
• Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically
able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
• Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract normal or
sudden movements – have both hands available.
Accessory hazards
• Never use any chisel as a hand struck tool. They are
specifically designed and heat-treated to be used only in
air hammers.
• Select the correct shank and retainer for the tool being
used.
• Never use dull accessories as they require excessive pres-
sure and can break from fatigue.
• Never cool a hot accessory in water. Brittleness and early
failure can result.
• Use only recommended sizes and types of accessories
and consumables.
• Accessory breakage or tool damage may result from priz-
ing. Take smaller bites to avoid getting stuck.
Repetitive motion hazards
• When using a power tool to perform work-related activi-
ties, the operator might experience discomfort in the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the body.
• Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining secure
footing and avoiding awkward or off-balance postures.
Changing posture during extended tasks can help avoid
discomfort and fatigue.
