Long term risks when using the machine

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 retainer is not in order

it shall be separated from the tool by a whip hose
(length 0.5 m)
