2. Personal protection equipment
Make sure the operators use:
• Eye protection, goggles or a visor.
• Ear protection.
• Gloves.
• Steel toe-capped shoes.
• Protective clothing, such as a leather apron.
• A helmet (for heavier applications).
• Do not use loosely hanging clothing, hair or jew-
ellery (risk of getting caught).
3. Working Area
• Connect the tool to a clean and dry air supply.
• Ensure that the area in which you are working is kept free
from other people so that no one can get injured.
• People nearby must also wear hearing and eye protection.
• Check that there is good ventilation and dust extraction
from the premises.
• There should be a stand or a place available, on which the
machine can be safely placed.
• Work within a sealed-off area, if possible with protecting
walls.
• Explosive atmosphere must not be ignited - use acces-
sories of non-sparking material.
• Avoid chiseling into electric wiring hidden inside walls.
During work
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply before changing
accessories, chisel or die.
• Stop using the tool if abnormally loud noises or vibra-
tions occur during use.
• Be aware that the chisel may break during operation.
• 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.
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.

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

• Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins
must be installed.
