Safety notices
The operator and maintenance personnel must
be physically capable of managing the size,
weight and power of the machine.
Hold the machine correctly: be prepared to
counteract typical or sudden movements – keep
both hands ready.
Be sure your body is well balanced and maintain
a solid stance.
In the event of power failure release the start-
or stop control.
Only use lubricants recommended by the manu-
facturer.
Avoid direct contact with the machine tool dur-
ing and after use, as it may be hot.
Notice indicating safety goggles
are required, and safety gloves and
protective clothing are recommended.
Hazards due to
repetitive motions
When using a non-rotating, percussive machine
the operator may experience discomfort in hands,
arms, shoulders, neck or other body parts whilst
performing work-related tasks.
Maintain a comfortable position whilst working
with the non-rotating, percussive machine, be
mindful of a secure grip and avoid unfavourable
positions or those making it difficult to maintain
your balance. The operator should change his
posture during extended periods of use, which
may help to prevent discomfort and fatigue.
If the operator experiences symptoms such as
persistently feeling unwell, discomfort, palpita-
tions, pain, tingling, numbness, a burning sensa-
tion or stiffness, these warning signs should not
be ignored. The user should consult a qualified
healthcare professional.
Risks associated with
accessories
Disconnect non-rotating, percussive machine
from the power supply before attaching or
changing tools or accessories.

Only use accessories and consumables of the
size and type recommended by the manufac-
turer of the non-rotating, percussive machine;
do not use other accessory or consumables
types or sizes.
Avoid direct contact with the machine tool dur-
ing and after use, as it may become very hot
or sharp-edged.
Hazards in the work
environment
Slipping, tripping and falling are the main causes
of injuries at the workplace. Keep in mind that
surfaces may have become slippery during
machine use, and remember tripping hazards
caused by the air- or hydraulic hose.
Proceed with caution in unfamiliar surroundings.
There may be hidden dangers due to electrical
cables or other supply lines.
The non-rotating, percussive machine is not in-
tended for use in explosive atmospheres and
not isolated against contact with electric power
sources.
Verify that there are no electrical lines, gas lines,
etc. that may result in a hazard in the event of
them becoming damaged during machine use.
Hazards due to dust
and vapours
Dusts and vapours generated by the use of
non-rotating, percussive machines may result in
damage to health (e.g. cancer, birth defects,
asthma and / or dermatitis); it is imperative to
perform a risk assessment for these hazards and
implement the respective regulatory mechanisms.
The risk assessment should include dust gener-
ated by machine use and the dust already pre-
sent in the area, which is possibly being blown
around.
The non-rotating, percussive machine must be
operated and maintained according to the rec-
ommendations in these instructions to minimise
the release of dust and vapours.
