NOTE
►
The noise emission levels and vibration values
specified in these instructions have been meas-
ured in accordance with the corresponding
standardised measuring procedure and can
be used to make equipment comparisons . The
noise emission levels and vibration values vary
depending on the use of the compressed air
tool and may be higher than the values speci-
fied in these instructions in some cases . It is
easy to underestimate the noise emission lev-
els and vibration values if the compressed air
tool is used regularly in this manner .

Hazards caused by flying parts
■
Disconnect the non-rotary percussive tool from
the energy supply before changing the machine
tool or accessory .
■
If the workpiece, one of the accessories or even
the machine itself breaks, parts can be flung out
at a high speed .
■
Always wear impact-resistant eye protection
when operating the non-rotary percussive tool .
The level of the required protection must be
evaluated separately for each individual task .
■
Wear a safety helmet if working above head
height .
■
In this case, the risks for others should also be
assessed .
■
You must ensure that the workpiece has been
securely fixed in place .
■
Do not operate the machine unless the machine
tool is properly attached to the machine with a
suitable locking mechanism .
■
To prevent injury, all worn, broken or bent parts
of the locking mechanism must be replaced
immediately .
■
Before switching on the machine, make sure the
machine tool is firmly placed on the surface to
be processed .
Hazards during operation
■
When using the machine, the operator's hands
may be exposed to hazards such as knocks,
cuts, abrasions and heat . Wear suitable gloves
to protect your hands .
■
The operator and the maintenance personnel
must be physically capable of handling the size,
weight and power of the machine .
■
Hold the machine correctly: be ready to coun-
teract any normal or sudden movements – keep
both hands ready .
■
Ensure that your body is balanced and that you
have a firm footing .
