WARNING Slipping, tripping and
falling hazards
There is a risk of slipping or tripping or falling, for
example tripping on the hoses or on other objects.
Slipping or tripping or falling can cause injury. To
reduce this risk:
►
Always make sure that no hose or other object is
in your way or in any other person's way.
►
Always make sure you are in a stable position with
your feet as far apart as your shoulders width and
keeping a balanced body weight.
WARNING Motion hazards
When using the machine to perform work-related
activities, you may experience discomfort in the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the
body.
►
Adopt a comfortable posture while maintaining
secure footing and avoiding awkward
off-balanced postures.
► Changing posture during extended tasks may
help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
► In case of persistent or recurring symptoms,
consult a qualified health professional.
WARNING Vibration hazards
Normal and proper use of the machine exposes the
operator to vibration. Regular and frequent exposure
to vibration may cause, contribute to, or aggravate
injury or disorders to the operator’s fingers, hands,
wrists, arms, shoulders and/or nerves and blood
supply or other body parts, including debilitating
and/or permanent injuries or disorders that may
develop gradually over periods of weeks, months,
or years. Such injuries or disorders may include
damage to the blood circulatory system, damage to
the nervous system, damage to joints, and possibly
damage to other body structures.
If numbness, persistent recurring discomfort,
burning sensation, stiffness, throbbing, tingling,
pain, clumsiness, weakened grip, whitening of the
skin, or other symptoms occur at any time, when
operating the machine or when not operating the
machine, stop operating the machine, tell your
employer and seek medical attention. Continued
use of the machine after the occurrence of any such
symptom may increase the risk of symptoms
becoming more severe and/or permanent.
Operate and maintain the machine as recommended
in these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary
increase in vibration.
The following may help to reduce exposure to
vibration for the operator:
►
Let the tool do the job. Use a minimum hand grip
consistent with proper control and safe operation.
► If the machine has vibration absorbing handles,
keep them in a central position, avoid pressing
the handles into the end stops.
► When the percussion mechanism is activated, the
only body contact with the machine you should
have are your hands on the handle or handles.
Avoid any other contact, for example supporting
any part of the body against the machine or
leaning onto the machine trying to increase the
feed force. It is also important not to keep the start
and stop device engaged while extracting the tool
from the work surface.
►
Make sure that the inserted tool is well-maintained
(including sharpness, if a cutting tool), not worn
out, and of the proper size. Insertion tools that
are not well-maintained, or that are worn out, or
that are not of the proper size result in longer time
to complete a task (and a longer period of
exposure to vibration) and may result in or
contribute to higher levels of vibration exposure.
►
Immediately stop working if the machine
suddenly starts to vibrate strongly. Before
resuming the work, find and remove the cause of
the increased vibrations.
►
Never grab, hold or touch the inserted tool when
using the machine.
