Warning
The exhaust pipe and the bottom of the machine

remain hot during a period of time after the
machine has been shut off.
To reduce the risk of burns or related injuries,
avoid contact with the exhaust pipe or the
bottom of the machine.
Fume and exhaust hazard
Danger
The exhaust fumes from the machine’s combustion
engine contain carbon monoxide which is
poisonous. Inhalation of exhaust fumes can cause
serious injury or death.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Never operate the machine indoors or in poorly
ventilated areas.
Explosion and fire hazard
Danger
If the machine comes in contact with explosives,
an explosion may occur. Explosions may cause
serious injury or death.
To reduce such risks of explosion:
Never operate the equipment near any
explosives, including dynamite or other
explosives in the rock.
Make sure that there are no explosives in the
rock.
Never break or drill in an old hole.
Warning
Breaking and working with certain materials can
cause sparks, which may ignite explosive gases
which can cause explosions. Explosions may cause
serious injury or death.
To reduce such risks of explosion:
Never operate the equipment in any explosive
environment.
Do not use the machine near flammable
materials, fumes or dust.
Make sure that there are no undetected sources
of gas.
Warning
During operation of the machine, the exhaust pipe
gets very hot and may stay hot for a period of time
even after you have shut off the engine. Materials
that come into contact with a hot exhaust pipe
may ignite and cause a fire or an explosion, which
can cause serious injury. To reduce such risks of fire
or explosion:
Do not use the machine near flammable
materials, fumes or dust. During breaks in
work, remember not to place the machine near
flammable materials.
Do not operate the machine in explosive
environments.
