that the whirling up of dust in a dust- filled en-
vironment is reduced to a minimum.
•
If any dust or vapor is created, the priority
must be to control them at their point of re-
lease.
•
All the machine‘s built-in parts and accesso-
ries which are designed to collect, extract or
suppress air-borne dust or vapor should be
used and serviced correctly in accordance
with the manufacturer‘s instructions.
•
You must select, service and replace the con-
sumables and plug-in tools in accordance
with the recommendations presented in this
manual in order to prevent the development
of dust or vapor being intensified unneces-
sarily.
2.8 Dangers due to noise
•
Noise can cause permanent damage to your
hearing. Unprotected exposure to high levels
of noise can result in loss of hearing and other
problems such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing,
whistling or droning noises in your ears).
Wear ear-muffs.
•
To keep noise and vibration levels as low as
possible, follow the maintenance and opera-
ting instructions in the manual. For example,
vibration-damping material used as an inter-
mediate layer when working on sheet metal
can also reduce noise.
•
It is absolutely essential to carry out a risk
assessment with regard to these dangers and
to implement appropriate control mechanisms.
•
The non-rotating, hammer-action machine
must be operated and serviced in accordance
with the recommendations presented in this
manual in order to prevent the noise level
being increased unnecessarily.
•
You must select, service and replace the con-
sumables and plug-in tools in accordance
with the recommendations presented in this
manual in order to prevent the noise level
being increased unnecessarily.
2.9 Dangers due to vibrations
•
Vibrations can injure the nerves and cause
blood circulation disorders in your hands and
arms.
•
Wear warm clothing when you work in cold
surroundings. Keep your hands warm and
dry.
•
Stop using the equipment if you experience
numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the
skin on your fingers or hands, and consult a
doctor.
•
Do not hold the plug-in tool with your free
hand as this will lead to a higher vibration
load.
•
Hold the equipment with a light but secure
grip, noting the reaction forces which arise in
the process. The risk of disorders caused by
vibrations is always greater with a tight grip.
2.10 Additional safety information for
pneumatic machines
•
Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
•
Disconnect the compressed air coupling and
depressurize the equipment before you ser-
vice, repair or transport the equipment and
before you change the chisel.
•
Never direct compressed air at yourself or at
any other persons.
•
Whipping hoses may cause serious injuries.
You must always make sure therefore that the
hoses and their fasteners are undamaged and
have not become disconnected.
•
When you release the quick-lock coupling,
hold the hose securely in your hand and ne-
ver use defective connectors. This will help to
prevent injuries caused by a whipping com-
pressed air hose.
•
Do not let cold air flow over your hands.
•
Do not use any quick-lock couplings at the air
inlet. Use hose connections with a hardened
steel thread (or a material with comparable
resistance to vibrations).
•
If universal rotary couplings (claw couplings)
are used, lock pins must be installed and a re-
tention system for compressed air hoses used
in order to protect against possible faulty con-
nections („hose to tool“ or „hose to hose“).
