WARNING Motion hazards
When using the machine to perform work-related
activities, you may experience discomfort in the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the
body.
Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining
►
secure footing and avoiding awkward off-balanced
postures.
Changing posture during extended tasks may help
►
avoid discomfort and fatigue.
► In case of persistent or recurring symptoms,
consult a qualified health professional.
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 nerves and blood
supply or other body parts, including debilitating
and/or permanent injuries or disorders that may
develop gradually over periods of weeks, months, or
years. Such injuries or disorders 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, persistent recurring discomfort, burning
sensation, stiffness, throbbing, 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, stop
operating the machine, tell your employer 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.
Operate and maintain the machine as recommended
in these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary
increase in vibration.
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.
If the machine has vibration absorbing handles,
►
keep them in a central position, avoid pressing the
handles into the end stops.
► When the percussion mechanism is activated, the
only body contact with the machine you should
have are your hands on the handle or 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.

Original instructions
Safety and operating instructions
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.
When working in cold conditions wear warm
►
clothing and keep hands warm and dry.
The exhaust air is strongly chilled and shall not
►
make contact with the operator. Always direct the
exhaust air away from hands and body.
See the "Noise and vibration declaration statement"
for the machine, including the declared vibration
values. This information can be found at the end of
these Safety and operating instructions.
♦ Comply with the recommended air-pressure when
operating the machine. Either higher or lower
air-pressure has the potential of resulting in higher
levels of vibration.
DANGER Electrical hazard
The machine is not electrically insulated. If the
machine comes into contact with electricity, serious
injuries or death may result.
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 in the working area.
WARNING Concealed object hazard
During operating, concealed wires and pipes
constitute a danger that can result in serious injury.
Check the composition of the material before
►
operating.
► Watch out for concealed cables and pipes for
example electricity, telephone, water, gas and
sewage lines etc.
► If the inserted tool seems to have hit a concealed
object, switch off the machine immediately.
Make sure that there is no danger before
►
continuing.
