Safety instructions
Important information for safer use of percussive
tools
This manual follows the EC Machines Directive (2006/42/EC)
regarding operator's instructions and relevant parts of standards
from CEN TC 255 "Hand-held power driven non-electric tools -
Safety" These instructions concern operation, handling of machine,
inserted tool and equipments as well as maintenance.
Neglect to follow these long established recommendations may
cause serious hazards.
Make sure that the operator has fully understood the following
recommendations and has full access to them.
WARNING
pay strict attention to following measures the oper-
ator has to take in order to avoid risks of misuse or
accident
Installation
Follow the instructions for air preparation given in the written in-
structions supplied with the machine.
When lubrication is recommended - use recommended lubricants
only.
Check hose size and air pressure.
Avoid the risk of whipping hose - regularly check hose, hose
fittings and condition of clamps.
Check that the exhaust air is directed to avoid blowing dust or
air from the work piece onto the operator or other persons. Arrange
for barriers if possible.
When necessary, use exhaust hose and arrange for dust collec-
tion.
Avoid accidents when using the machine
1 The chisel, die or punch may fall out or may be shot out of
the tool accidentally causing serious injury
To prevent injury from a flying chisel:
– always use a retainer
– inspect the retainer for wear or damage regularly
and:
– be aware that the chisel may break during operation due to fa-
tigue
– never trigger the machine unless held against a work piece
– remove chisel, die or punch from machine when work is over
– before changing accessories, chisel or die - disconnect the
machine from the air supply
– release the start and stop device in case of interruption of energy
supply
– when finishing a job, disconnect the machine from its air supply
2 Chips and sparks shall be prevented from striking an eye or
another worker
To prevent vision loss:
– always wear eye protection
– isolate work of this kind by using barriers between work sta-
tions
– do not use the machine for other purposes than it is intended
for
3 Prevent body injury by using:
– gloves
– protective shoes
– helmet
4 Explosive atmosphere must not be ignited
To prevent injury and property loss from fires:
– use other technique
– use accessories of non sparking material (e.g. needle attachment
of Beryllium copper for a needle scaler)
5 Electric chock may be fatal
– avoid chiselling into electric wiring hidden inside walls etc.
Long term risks when using the machine
6 Always use ear protection
To prevent gradual loss of hearing due to exposure to high noise
levels:
– wear ear protection
7 Vibration may be harmful to hands and arms
– use vibration dampened tools if available
– reduce the total time of exposure to vibrations, particularly if
the operator has to guide the chisel by hand
8 Dust generated during operation may be harmful
– use spot suction or a breathing apparatus
Proper use and maintenance
9 Do not perform idle blows with a hammer
– they will cause high internal stresses and shorten the life of the
tool
– note the risk of shooting out the chisel, die or punch if the re-
tainer is not in order
10 Quick coupling
– if a quick coupling is used on a percussive tool, it shall be
separated from the tool by a whip hose (length 0.5 m)
11 Maintenance
Good service life and safe function is offered if the instructions
for lubrication, maintenance and overhaul supplied with the ma-
chine are followed.
Use genuine Desoutter replacement kits and parts only.
