Warning
The insertion tool is exposed to heavy strains
when the machine is used and after a certain
amount of use the tool may break due to fatigue.
If the tool breaks, there may be sudden or strong
movements. Such sudden or strong movements
may cause serious injury.
► Make sure that you always keep a stable
position with your feet as far apart as your
shoulder width, and keeping a balanced body
weight.
► Keep your feet away from the insertion tool.
► Do not 'ride' on the machine with one leg over
the handle, since you could be seriously injured
if the tool were to break suddenly.
► Check regularly for wear to the insertion tool,
and check whether there are any signs of
damage or visible cracks.
Warning
An incorrect dimension of the insertion tool's shank
can result in that the insertion tool is lost or is
slipping out during operation. An insertion tool that
is lost or slips out can cause personal injury.
► Before inserting the work tool, make sure that
the shank's dimensions are the ones that should
be used in the machine.
► Insertion tools without a collar may not be used.
Warning
If the tool retainer on the machine is not in a locked
position, the tool can be ejected with force, which
can cause personal injury.
► Once the insertion tool has been mounted and
locked, the locking function must be checked by
pulling the insertion tool outwards powerfully.
► Make sure that the tool is fully inserted and the
tool retainer is in the locked position before the
machine is started.
► Never point the insertion tool at yourself or
anyone else.
Warning
Starting the machine while changing the insertion
tool may cause personal injury.
► Before changing the tool, stop the machine,
switch off the compressed air supply and bleed
the machine by activating the start and stop
device.
