• You must read and understand the safety instruc-
tions before installing, operating, repairing or main-
taining the tool, and also before replacing any
accessory parts or carrying out any work in the
vicinity of the air tool. Failure to read and follow the
instructions may lead to serious injury.
• Only qualified, trained operators are authorised to
install, adjust or use the air tool.
• The air tool must not be modified. Any modifica-
tions implemented may reduce the efficiency of
the safety measures and increase risks for the op-
erator.
• Never use air tools that have been damaged. Look
after your air tools carefully. Regularly check that
all moving parts are functioning correctly without
jamming. Also regularly ensure that no parts are
broken or damaged to an extent that they affect the
operation of the air tool. Check that all signs and
labels are legible and intelligible. Have damaged
parts repaired or replaced before using the tool.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
air tools.
Special Safety Instructions
Risks associated with ejected parts
• Disconnect the air tool from the compressed air
supply before replacing the mounted tool or ac-
cessory parts, and also before carrying out repairs
or settings.
• If either the workpiece, accessory parts or the air
tool breaks, parts may be ejected at high speed.
• While operating, maintaining or repairing the air
tool, or replacing accessory parts, you must al-
ways wear impact-resistant safety goggles. The
degree of protection required for each individual
task must be evaluated separately in each case.
• Wear a safety helmet if carrying out work above
your head. Also ensure that no other people are
placed at risk.
• Ensure that the workpiece is securely attached.
• Only switch on the air tool after the mounted tool
has been locked correctly in the air tool with the
locking device.
• To avoid injury, all parts of the locking device dis-
playing signs of wear, or that are broken or bent,
must be replaced.
• Place the mounted tool firmly on the surface to be
worked on before switching on the air tool.
Risks during operation
• When using the air tool, the operator's hands may
be exposed to potential risk of impacts, cuts, abra-
sions and heat. To protect your hands, wear suit-
able gloves.
• The operator and maintenance staff must be physi-
cally capable of handling the size, weight and pow-
er output of the air tool.

• Make sure you hold the air tool correctly: be pre-
pared to counter both routine and unexpected
movements, so keep both hands ready.
• Ensure you stand in a safe position and keep your
balance at all times.
• Avoid accidental operation. If the air supply is in-
terrupted, switch off the air tool using the On/Off
switch.
• Only use lubricants that have been recommended
by the manufacturer.
• Avoid any direct contact with the mounted tool both
during and after use because it may be hot or have
sharp edges.
• Wear personal protective equipment and always
wear safety glasses. By wearing personal protec-
tive equipment such as gloves, protective clothing,
a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a safety hel-
met or ear protectors, to suit the type of machine
and its use, you reduce the risk of injury. Wearing
this equipment is recommended.
Risks associated with recurring movements
• When working with the air tool, you may experi-
ence an uncomfortable sensation in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck or other body parts.
• Make sure you are in a comfortable position to
carry out work with the air tool, check that the tool
is held securely, and avoid any awkward positions
that make it difficult, for example, to keep your bal-
ance. If carrying out work over an extended period,
you/the operator should change position occasion-
ally. This should help to avoid fatigue and any un-
pleasant sensation.
• If the operator experiences persistent symptoms
such as feeling unwell, aches, pains or throbbing,
a prickling or burning sensation, loss of hearing,
or joint stiffening, these warning signs must not be
ignored. The operator should advise the employer
of these symptoms and consult a qualified doctor.
Risks associated with accessory parts
• Disconnect the air tool from the air supply before
securing or replacing the mounted tool or acces-
sory part.
• Only use accessories that are designed for this
device and that fulfil the requirements and the
specifications listed in these operating instructions.
• Never use the chisel as a hand tool. They are spe-
cially designed for application in non-rotating im-
pact air tools and are correspondingly heattreated.
• Never use blunt chisels: they require an excessive
amount of pressure and this can result in fatigue
breakage. Blunt tools can cause increased vibra-
tion, which is why you should always use mounted
tools that are sharp.
• Never cool hot accessory parts in water. This can
lead to brittleness and premature failure.
