Safety and operating instructions
Caution
Grease can cause eczema when it comes in
contact with the skin.
► Avoid getting grease on your hands.

Explosion and fire hazard

Danger
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 flammable
materials, fumes or dust.
► Make sure that there are no undetected sources
of gas.
Electrical/concealed object
hazards
Warning
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.
Warning
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

Warning
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

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

Silica/dust hazard

Warning
Exposure to crystalline silica (sometimes called
'silica dust') as a result of breaking, drilling,
hammering, or other activities involving 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
such controls include: Exhaust ventilation and
dust collection systems, water sprays, and wet
drilling. Make sure that 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
exposure of silica to yourself, other persons,
cars, homes, and other areas.
