► 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 of
the exposure area.
► Work with your employer to reduce silica
exposure at your worksite.
Warning
Some dust, fumes or other airborne material
created during use of the machine may contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of such 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.

Machine modification hazard

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.

Safety and operating instructions

Vibration hazard

Warning
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
other body parts, including debilitating and/or
permanent injuries or disorders that may develop
gradually over periods of weeks, months, or years.
Such injury or disorder 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, 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, do not
resume operating the machine 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.
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.
► When the impact mechanism is activated, the
only body contact with the machine you should
have is your hands on the handles. Avoid any
other contact, e.g. 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 trigger engaged
while extracting the tool from the broken 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.
Working 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.
► Comply with the recommended hydraulic
pressure when operating the machine. Either
higher or lower hydraulic pressure has the
potential of resulting in higher levels of vibration.
