Safety and operating instructions
WARNING Dust hazard
Some dusts, 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, 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.
WARNING Projectiles
During operating, splinters or other particles from
the working material may become projectiles and
cause personal injury by striking the operator or
other persons.
Use approved personal protective equipment,
►
including impact resistant eye protection with
side protection.
Make sure that no unauthorised persons trespass
►
into the working zone.
Keep the workplace free from foreign objects.

WARNING Vibration hazards
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 percussion mechanism is activated, the
only body contact with the machine you should
have are your hands on the handle/handles. Avoid
any other contact, for example 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 start and stop
device 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. Insertion 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.
Never grab, hold or touch the inserted tool when
►
using the machine.
Participate in health surveillance or monitoring,
►
medical exams and training programs offered by
your employer and when required by law.
