►
Do not expose the power tool to rain or wet
conditions.
If water enters the machine, there is an increased
risk of electrical shock.
►
Use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply, if the machine must be operated in a damp
location.
The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electrical
shock.
Personal safety
Personal protective equipment
Always use approved protective equipment.
Operators and all other persons in the working area
must wear protective equipment, including at a
minimum:
●
Protective helmet
●
Hearing protection
●
Impact resistant eye protection with side protection
●
Respiratory protection when appropriate
●
Protective gloves
●
Proper protective boots
●
Appropriate work overall or similar clothing (not
loose-fitting) that covers your arms and legs.
Drugs, alcohol or medication
WARNING Drugs, alcohol or medication
Drugs, alcohol or medication may impair your
judgment and powers of concentration. Poor
reactions and incorrect assessments can lead to
severe accidents or death.
►
Never use the machine when you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
►
No person who is under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication may operate the machine.
WARNING Involuntary start
Involuntary start of the machine may cause injury.
►
Keep your hands away from the start and stop
device until you are ready to start the machine.
►
Learn how the machine is switched off in the event
of an emergency.
WARNING Falling parts
If a key or wrench is left attached to a rotating part
of the machine it may fly off and cause personal
injuries.
►
Remove adjusting keys or switches before starting
the machine.
WARNING Slipping, tripping and falling
hazards
There is a risk of slipping or tripping or falling, for
example tripping on the hoses or on other objects.
Slipping or tripping or falling can cause injury. To
reduce this risk:
►
Always make sure that no hose or other object is
in your way or in any other person's way.
►
Always make sure you are in a stable position with
your feet as far apart as your shoulders width and
keeping a balanced body weight.
WARNING Dust and fume hazard
Dusts and/or fumes generated or dispersed when
using the machine may cause serious and permanent
respiratory disease, illness, or other bodily injury (for
example, silicosis or other irreversible lung disease
that can be fatal, cancer, birth defects, and/or skin
inflammation).
Some dusts and fumes created by compaction work
contain substances known to the State of California
and other authorities to cause respiratory disease,
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of such substances are:
●
Crystalline silica, cement, and other masonry
products.
●
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber.
●
Lead from lead-based paints.
Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to the
naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to determine
if there is dust or fumes are the air.
To reduce the risk of exposure to dust and fumes,
do all of the following:
►
Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk
assessment must include dust and fumes created
by the use of the machine and the potential for
disturbing existing dust.
►
Use proper engineering controls to minimize the
amount of dust and fumes in the air and to
minimize build-up on equipment, surfaces,
clothing, and body parts. Examples of controls
include: exhaust ventilation and dust collection
systems, water sprays, and wet drilling. Control
dusts and fumes at the source where possible.
Make sure that controls are properly installed,
maintained and correctly used.
►
Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory
protection as instructed by your employer and as
required by occupational health and safety
regulations. The respiratory protection must be
effective for the type of substance at issue (and if
applicable, approved by relevant governmental
authority).
