Safety regulations

m Caution!
Read all safety regulations and instructions. Any
errors made in following the safety regulations and
instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. Keep all safety regulations and inst-
ructions in a safe place for future use.
Protect yourself and your environment from accidents
by taking the appropriate precautionary measures.
General safety rules
• The equipment is not allowed to be modified. Modi-
fications will reduce the effectiveness of the safety
measures and increase the risk of injury.
• Never use damaged equipment.
• Use and service the equipment as recommended in
the operating instructions. This will help you to mini-
mize dust, gas, noise and vibrations.
• Keep children away from air tools.
• Do not use the equipment in idling mode. This will
prevent the chisel being catapulted out of the machi-
ne out of control.
• Use the consumables and mounted tools in the way
described in the operating instructions. This will help
you to minimize dust, gas, noise and vibrations.
• The equipment must be serviced in regular intervals
in order to check that the rated values and markings
demanded of the particular component by ISO 11148
are legible on the equipment. Employees/users must
contact the manufacturer for replacement labels if
they are required.
Hazards due to catapulted parts
• Disconnect the compressed air coupling and de-
pressurize the equipment before you service, repair
or transport the equipment and before you change
the chisel.
• Beware of fragments of the workpiece, accessory
parts or the plugged-in chisel being catapulted away
at high speed when carrying out chiseling work.
• Always wear impact-resistant safety goggles. The
degree of protection should be assessed separately
for each job.
• Wear a helmet during overhead work. Also consider
the dangers which falling pieces of the workpiece
can pose for other persons.
• Make sure that the workpiece is fixed securely.

• Make sure that the chisel which you are using is fas-
tened securely.
• Use only a suitable tensioning spring (5) (supplied).
Replace the tensioning spring if it is worn, broken or
bent. This will help to prevent injuries.
• Hold the mounted chisel against the workpiece befo-
re you activate the equipment.
• Use only the recommended lubricant (see section
Maintenance and care).
• Never touch the chisel during and after working with
the equipment. Fingers and hands may be injured.
The chisel can become hot.
Dangers during operation
• Using this equipment can cause bruises, grazes,
cuts and burns. Wear gloves.
• Users and maintenance personnel must be physi-
cally capable of handling the size, weight and power
of the equipment.
• Unexpected movements of the equipment or frac-
turing of the chisel can cause serious accidents. It
is important therefore to always stand squarely and
solidly so that you can keep control of the equipment
and maintain your posture even if the equipment
makes unexpected movements.
• Let go of the trigger lever (2) if the air supply is in-
terrupted.
• Wear the necessary protective clothing, in particular
impact-proof safety goggles, ear muffs and safety
gloves, when working with the chisel hammer.
Dangers due to repetitive movements
• Working with the chisel hammer can result in disor-
ders in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck and other
parts of the body.
• When using the equipment, be sure to adopt a com-
fortable posture and change your posture repeatedly
in order to avoid physical complaints.
• Stop using the equipment if you experience numb-
ness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin on your
fingers or hands, and consult a doctor.
Dangers due to accessories
• Important: Disconnect the equipment from the com-
pressed air supply before you carry out any mainte-
nance or cleaning work.
• Only use accessories and consumables of a size
and type recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not use the chisel as a hand tool. The chisels
were designed specially for use with a chisel ham-
mer.
• Use only sharp chisels. Blunt chisels need higher
pressure, can break and will increase vibrations.
• Do not cool hot tools in water. This may result in da-
mage.
• Do not use the chisel as a levering tool.
• Never touch the chisel during and after working with
the equipment. Fingers and hands may be injured.
The chisel can become hot.
• Do not use any defective items of equipment. Repla-
ce defective parts. This will help to prevent injuries.
Dangers at the workplace
• Slipping, stumbling and falling are the main reasons
for injuries at the workplace. Beware of slippery
surfaces which result from using the equipment and
also beware of tripping over the air hose.
• Beware of hidden dangers such as electric cables or
gas and water pipes.
• This equipment is not insulated against contact with
an electric cable. It is vital to avoid all contact with
electric cables. The equipment is not suitable for use
in explosive atmospheres.
