2.5 Dangers due to accessories
•
Important: Disconnect the equipment from the
compressed air supply before you carry out
any maintenance or cleaning work.

size and type recommended by the manu-
facturer.
•
Do not use the chisel as a hand tool. The chi-
sels were designed specially for use with a

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 damage.
•
Do not use the chisel as a levering tool.
•
Never touch the chisel during and after wor-

2.6 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.
•
The equipment is not suitable for use in ex-
plosive atmospheres. Sparks may be created
when you work with this equipment. It is im-
portant therefore that you never work with this
equipment near combustible materials, liquids
or gases.
2.7 Dangers due to dust and vapors
•
Depending on the material you wish to
process, dusts and gases may arise that are
a health hazard for the user (for example
causing cancer, birth defects, asthma and /
or dermatitis).
•
Make sure that escaping air whirls up as little
dust as possible.
•
Wear a suitable protective dust mask which
complies with the particular case of applica-
tion and the generally applicable safety rules.
2.8 Dangers due to noise
•
Noise can cause permanent damage to your
hearing. Unprotected exposure to high levels
of noise can result in loss of hearing and other
problems such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing,
whistling or droning noises in your ears).
Wear ear-muffs.
•
To keep noise and vibration levels as low as
possible, follow the maintenance and opera-
ting instructions in the manual. For example,
vibration-damping material used as an inter-
mediate layer when working on sheet metal
can also reduce noise.
