Noise hazards

Warning
High sound levels may cause permanent hearing
loss.
Use hearing protection in accordance with
occupational health and safety regulations.

Silica/Dust hazards

Warning
Exposure to crystalline silica (sometimes called
"silica dust") as a result of breaking, drilling, or
hammering of rock, concrete, asphalt or other
materials may cause silicosis (a serious lung
disease), silicosis-related illnesses, cancer or
death. Silica is a major component of rock, sand
and mineral ores.
To reduce silica exposure:
Use proper engineering controls to reduce the
amount of silica in the air and the build-up of
dust on equipment and surfaces. Examples of
these controls include: exhaust ventilation and
dust collection systems, water sprays, and wet
drilling. Make sure that the controls are properly
installed and maintained.
Wear, maintain and correctly use approved
particulate respirators when engineering controls
alone are not adequate to reduce exposure
below permissible levels.
Participate in air monitoring, medical exams and
training programs offered by your employer and
when required by law.
Wear washable or disposable protective clothes
at the worksite; shower and change into clean
clothes before leaving the worksite to reduce
your exposure to silica and that of other
persons, cars, homes, and other areas.
Do not eat, drink, or use tobacco products in
areas where there is dust containing crystalline
silica.
Wash your hands and face before eating,
drinking or using tobacco products outside the
exposure area.
Work with your employer to reduce silica
exposure at your worksite.

Safety and operating instructions
Warning
Some dust or other airborne material generated
during the use of the machine may contain
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive damage. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
Crystalline silica and cement and other masonry
products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber.
Lead from lead-based paints.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals,
work in a well-ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

Vibration hazards

Warning
Repetitive tasks, awkward working positions or
vibrations may cause injury to your fingers, hands,
arms, and other body parts. Exposure to vibrations
may restrict the blood supply to the hands and
fingers, which may cause injury. If numbness,
tingling, pain, whitening of the skin or reduction in
feeling occurs when you use the machine, or even
when you are not using the machine, do not use
the machine and contact a physician.
The tool generates vibrations that may cause
injury. Do not grab, hold or touch the tool when
using the machine.
Machine modification
hazards
Warning
Any machine modification not approved by Atlas
Copco may result in serious injuries to yourself or
others.
The machine must not be modified without Atlas
Copco's permission.
Use only original parts and accessories
approved by Atlas Copco.
