Hydraulic Oil and Lubrication Hazards
Thin jets of hydraulic oil under high pressure can penetrate the skin and cause permanent damage.
• Never use your hands when searching for oil leaks.
• Keep your face away from any possible leaks.
• Immediately seek medical attention if hydraulic oil has penetrated the skin.
Spilled hydraulic oil can cause accidents by causing slippery conditions and will also harm the environment.
• Handle the hydraulic oil with care.
• Take care of all spilled oil and handle it according to your local safety and environmental regulations.
Hot hydraulic oil can cause burns.
• Never dismount the machine when the hydraulic oil is hot.
Hydraulic oil can cause eczema when it comes in contact with the skin.
• Avoid getting hydraulic oil on your hands.
• Always use protective gloves when working with hydraulic oil.
Grease can cause eczema when it comes in contact with the skin.
• Avoid getting grease on your hands.
Explosion and Fire Hazard
Breaking, drilling and working with certain materials can cause sparks, which may ignite explosive gases and cause explosions.
Explosions may cause serious injury or death. To reduce such risk of explosion:
• Never operate the machine in any explosive environment.
• Do not use the machine near À ammable materials, fumes or dust.
• Make sure that there are no undetected sources of gas.
Electrical/Concealed Object Hazards
The machine is not electrically insulated. If the machine comes into contact with electricity, serious injuries or death may result.
• To reduce the risk of such injury or death, never operate the machine near any electric wire or other source of electricity.
• Make sure that there are no concealed wires or other sources of electricity.
During breaking, concealed wires and pipes constitute a danger that can result in serious injury.
• Before you start breaking, check the composition of the material you are to work on.
• Watch out for concealed cables and pipes e.g. electricity, telephone, water, gas and sewage lines etc.
• If the tool seems to have hit a concealed object, switch off the machine immediately.
• Make sure that there is no danger before continuing.
Projectile Hazard
During breaking, drilling or hammering, splinters or other particles from the worked material may become projectiles and cause
personal injury by striking the operator or other persons.
• Use approved personal protective equipment, including impact resistant safety glasses with side protection, to reduce the risk of
being injured by a projectile.
Noise Hazard
High sound levels may cause permanent hearing loss.
• Use hearing protection in accordance with occupational health and safety regulations.
