PERCUSSIVE TOOL SPECIFIC WARNINGS
•
When wearing gloves and operating models with
inside trigger, always be sure that the gloves will not
prevent the trigger from being released.
•
Wear safety shoes, hard hat, safety goggles, gloves,
dustmask and any other appropriate protective
clothing while operating the tool.
•
Do not indulge in horseplay. Distraction can cause
accidents.
•
Keep hands and fingers away from the throttle lever
until it is time to operate the tool.

Never rest the tool or chisel on your foot.
•
Never point the tool at anyone.
•
Compressed air is dangerous. Never point an air hose
at yourself or co–workers.
•
Never blow clothes free of dust with compressed air.
•
Be sure all hose connections are tight. A loose hose
not only leaks but can come completely off the tool
and while whipping under pressure, can injure the
operator and others in the area. Attach safety cables
to all hoses to prevent injury in case a hose is
accidentally broken.
•
Never disconnect a pressurized air hose. Always turn
off the air supply and bleed the tool before
disconnecting a hose.

The operator must keep limbs and body clear of the
chisel. If a chisel breaks, the tool with the broken
chisel projecting from the tool will suddenly surge
forward.

only cleaning solvents which meet current safety and
health standards. Use cleaning solvents in a well
ventilated area.
•
Do not flush the tool or clean any parts with diesel
