2.3 Dangers during operation
•
Using this equipment can cause bruises, gra-
zes, cuts and burns. Wear gloves.
•
Users and maintenance personnel must be
physically capable of handling the size,
weight and power of the equipment.
•
Unexpected movements of the equipment
or fracturing of the chisel can cause serious
accidents. It is important therefore to always
stand squarely and solidly so that you can
keep control of the equipment and maintain
your posture even if the equipment makes un-
expected movements.
•
Let go of the trigger lever (2) if the air supply
is interrupted.
•
Wear the necessary protective clothing, in
particular impact-proof safety goggles, ear
muffs and safety gloves, when working with
the chisel hammer.
2.4 Dangers due to repetitive movements
•
Working with the chisel hammer can result in
disorders in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck
and other parts of the body.
•
When using the equipment, be sure to adopt
a comfortable posture and change your
posture repeatedly in order to avoid physical
complaints.
•
Stop using the equipment if you experience
numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the
skin on your fingers or hands, and consult a
doctor.
2.5 Dangers due to accessories
•
Important: Disconnect the equipment from the
compressed air supply before you carry out
any maintenance or cleaning work.
•
Only use accessories and consumables of a
size and type recommended by the manu-
facturer.
•
Do not use the chisel as a hand tool. The chi-
sels were designed specially for use with a
chisel hammer.
•
Use only sharp chisels. Blunt chisels need
higher pressure, can break and will increase
vibrations.
•
Do not cool hot tools in water. This may result
in damage.
•
Do not use the chisel as a levering tool.
•
Never touch the chisel during and after wor-
king with the equipment. Fingers and hands
may be injured. The chisel can become hot.
•
Do not use any defective items of equipment.
Replace defective parts. This will help to pre-
vent injuries.
2.6 Dangers at the workplace
•
Slipping, stumbling and falling are the main
reasons for injuries at the workplace. Beware
of slippery surfaces which result from using
the equipment and also beware of tripping
over the air hose.
•
Beware of hidden dangers such as electric
cables or gas and water pipes.
•
This equipment is not insulated against contact
with an electric cable. It is vital to avoid all
contact with electric cables. The equipment is
not suitable for use in explosive atmospheres.
•
The equipment is not suitable for use in ex-
plosive atmospheres. Sparks may be created
when you work with this equipment. It is im-
portant therefore that you never work with this
equipment near combustible materials, liquids
or gases.
2.7 Dangers due to dust and vapors
•
The risk assessment should include considera-
tion of the dust which is created during the use
of the machine and the dust which already
exists and may be whirled up during use.
•
Depending on the material you wish to
process, dusts and gases may arise that are
a health hazard for the user (for example
causing cancer, birth defects, asthma and /
or dermatitis).
•
Make sure that escaping air whirls up as little
dust as possible.
•
Wear a suitable protective dust mask which
complies with the particular case of applica-
tion and the generally applicable safety rules.
•
The non-rotating, hammer-action machine
must be operated and serviced in accordance
with the recommendations presented in this
manual in order to reduce the release of dust
and vapor to a minimum.
•
The exhaust air must be directed away such
