m Attention!
The device and the packaging material are not
children's toys! Do not let children play with plas-
tic bags, films or small parts! There is a danger of
choking or suffocating!
4. Proper use
The electric tool is intended for heavy chisel and dem-
olition work and also for driving in and compacting with
the appropriate accessory.
The machine may only be used in the intended man-
ner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/opera-
tor, not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages
or injuries of any type resulting from this.
An element of the intended use is also the observance
of the safety instructions, as well as the assembly in-
structions and operating information in the operating
manual.
Persons who operate and maintain the machine must
be familiar with it and must be informed about poten-
tial dangers.
In addition, the applicable accident prevention regula-
tions must be strictly observed.
Other general occupational health and safety-related
rules and regulations must be observed.
The liability of the manufacturer and resulting dam-
ages are excluded in the event of modifications of the
machine.
Please observe that our equipment was not designed
with the intention of use for commercial or industrial
purposes. We assume no guarantee if the equipment
is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for
equivalent work.
5. General safety instructions for elec-
tric tools
m Attention!
The following basic safety measures must be observed
when using electric tools for protection against electric
shock, and the risk of injury and fire. Read all these no-
tices before using the electric tool and store the safety
instructions well for later reference.
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Disorgan-
ised and unlit work areas can result in accidents.
20 | GB
b) Do not work with the electric tool in an explo-
sive environment where flammable liquids,
gases or dusts may be located. Electric tools
produce sparks that may ignite dust or vapours.
c) Keep children and other people away while us-
ing the electric tool. Distractions may cause you
to lose control of the device.
2. Electrical safety
a) The electrical tool's connection plug must fit
into the socket. The plug may not be modified
in any way.
Do not use an adaptor plug together with earthed
electric tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable sock-
ets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces,
such as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
c) Keep electric tools away from rain and mois-
ture. Water penetrating an electric device increas-
es the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable for another purpose, for
example, carrying or hanging the electric tool
or pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the
cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing device parts. Damaged or coiled cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you work with an electric tool outdoors, only
use extension cables that are also permitted for
outdoor use. Using an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the electrical tool in
a wet environment, use a fault-current circuit
breaker. Using a fault-current circuit breaker re-
duces the risk of an electric shock.
3. Safety of personnel
a) Always remain attentive, pay attention to what
you are doing and be sensible when working with
electric tools. Do not use an electric tool if you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of carelessness when
using electrical tools can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and al-
ways wear safety goggles. Wearing personal
protective equipment, such as dust masks, anti-slip
safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing protection,
depending on the type and use of the electric tool,
reduces the risk of injuries.
