Use as authorized
the dimensions given in the chapter „Tech-
nical data" must be adhered to.
• The relevant accident prevention regula-
tions and other, generally recognized
safety-technical rules must also be adhered
to.
• The machine may only be used, maintai-
ned, and operated by persons familiar with

the manufacturer from all responsibility for
any resulting damages.

Remaining hazards

Even when all safety measures are taken, it is
not possible to exclude all remaining hazards.
Due to the construction of the machine, the
following risks can occur:
• Injury of the lung when no breathing mask
is worn.
• Injury of the ear when no ear protection is
worn.
• Injury of the eyes when no efficient goggles
(or protective screen) are worn.
Warning:
If an air hose is broken off or damaged, the air
input on the compressor must be switched off.
