help to prevent injuries caused by a
whipping compressed air hose.
Do not use any defective items of
■
equipment. Replace defective parts in order
to prevent injuries.
Hold the mounted chisel against the
■
workpiece before you activate the
equipment.
Let go of the trigger lever (2) if the air supply
■
is interrupted.
Unexpected movements of the machine or
■
fracturing 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 machine makes
unexpected movements.
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 water pipes.
This equipment is not insulated against
■
contact with an electric cable. It is vital to
avoid all contact with electric cables.
Depending on the material being processed,
■
dust and gas may be harmful (e.g. cancer,
birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis) for
the operator of the equipment.
Make sure that escaping air whirls up as
■
little dust as possible.
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 operating instructions
in the manual. For example, vibration-
damping material used as an intermediate
layer when working on sheet metal can also
reduce noise.
Use only sharp chisels. Blunt chisels need
■
higher pressure, can break and will increase
vibrations.

Vibrations can be transferred to the whole
■
body, particularly the arms and hands. Very
strong and continuous vibrations can cause
neural and vascular disorders. Regular work
breaks will minimize the risk of disorders
caused by vibrations.
Hold the equipment with a light but secure
■
grip, noting the reaction forces which arise
in the process. The risk of disorders caused
by vibrations is always greater with a tight
grip.
Wear warm clothing when you work in cold
■
surroundings. Keep your hands warm and
dry.
If you suffer pains or repeat symptoms while
■
using the equipment, do not ignore them but
consult a doctor.
Working with the chisel hammer can result
■
in disorders in the hands, arms, shoulders,
neck and other parts of the body.
Do not let cold air flow over your hands.
■
Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
■
Never direct escaping compressed air at
■
yourself or at any other person.
Disconnect the compressed air coupling
■
and depressurize the equipment before you
service, repair or transport the equipment
and before you change the chisel.
Do not use the chisel as a hand tool. The
■
chisels were designed specially for use with
a chisel hammer.
Do not carry compressed air tools by their
■
hose.
Do not cool hot tools in water. This may
■
result in damage.
Do not use the chisel as a levering tool.
■
Only qualified and trained persons are
■
allowed to use this equipment.
Do not modify this equipment. Modifications
■
can impair the effect of the safety devices
and therefore increase the potential danger
for the user.
Make the operating instructions available to
■
every user.
Check the rating plate and markings on the
■
equipment regularly for legibility. If there is
any damage, contact our Service Center.
Use and service the equipment as
■
recommended in the operating instructions.
This will help you to minimize dust, gas,
