Safety Information
Noise and Vibration hazards
• High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss and
other problems such as tinnitus. Use hearing protection as
recommended by your employer or occupational health
and safety regulations.
• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the
nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms. Wear
warm clothing and keep your hands warm and dry. If
numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin occurs,
stop using tool, tell your employer and consult a physi-
cian.
• Hold the tool in a light but safe grip because the risk from
vibration is generally greater when the grip force is
higher. Where possible use a suspension arm or fit a side
handle.
• To prevent unnecessary increases in noise and vibration
levels:
• Operate and maintain the tool, and select, maintain and
replace the accessories and consumables, in accordance
with this instruction manual;
• Do not use worn or ill-fitting screwdriver bits, sockets or
extensions.
• Do not touch sockets or accessories during impacting.
Workplace hazards
• Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death.
Be aware of excess hose left on the walking or work sur-
face.
• Avoid inhaling dust or fumes or handling debris from the
work process which can cause ill health (for example,
cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis). Use dust
extraction and wear respiratory protective equipment
when working with materials which produce airborne
particles.
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paints
• Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other ma-
sonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rub-
ber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware
of potential hazards created by your work activity. This
tool is not insulated from coming into contact with elec-
tric power sources.
• This tool is not recommended for use in potentially ex-
plosive atmospheres.
