General safety instructions for air tools / General safety rules
Disconnect the compressed air unit from the air
supply after each use and when not in use.
Do not use the compressed air unit if it is not air
tight or in need of repair.
Never connect the compressed air unit to an air
hose with pressure exceeding 6,3 bar.
Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy
or poorly lit working areas can result in accidents.
Doing so will allow you better control of the
device, particularly under unforeseen circum-
stances.
Only have the equipment
repaired by qualified specialist personnel using
OEM spare parts. This will maintain the safety
of the device.
Keep children and other persons away from the
device during use. Distractions can cause you
to lose control of the device.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves clear of moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewellery or long hair can become trapped in
moving parts.
Put down trigger and device in the event of un-
expected compressor failure.
If possible, use a condensate trap or regularly
drain the hoses and pipes of condensate (water)
before and whilst using compressed air units.
ATTENTION!
An undersized com-
pressed air system may minimise the
efficiency of your device.
General safety rules
For multiple hazards, read and understand the
safety instructions before installing, operating,
repairing, maintaining, changing accessories
on, or working near the non-rotary percussive
power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious
bodily injury.
Only qualified and trained operators should
install, adjust or use the non-rotary percussive
power tool.
Do not modify this non-rotary percussive power
tool. Modifications can reduce the
effectiveness of safety measures and increase
the risks to the operator.
Do not discard the safety instructions; give them
to the operator.
Do not use the non-rotary percussive power tool
if it has been damaged.
Tools shall be inspected periodically to verify
the ratings and markings required by this part
of ISO 11148 are legibly marked on the tool.
The employer / user shall contact the manufac-
turer to obtain replacement marking labels when
necessary.
Never modify the product. Modifications reduce
the effectiveness of safety measures and increase
the risk of injuries.
Never use a damaged device.
Use and maintain the device as recommended
in the instructions for use to minimise dust or gas-
ses, noise and vibration.
Do not use the device in idle to prevent the chisel
from ejecting uncontrolled.
Use the consumables and the inserted tool as
specified in the instructions for use to minimise
dust or gasses, noise and vibration.
Regularly maintain the device to verify all re-
quired rated values and markings such as rated
speed or rated air pressure, required by ISO
11148, are legible on the device. If necessary,
the user must contact the manufacturer for re-
placement labels for markings.
Risks due to projected parts
Disconnect the non-rotary percussive power tool
from the energy source when changing inserted
tool or accessories.
Be aware that failure of the workpiece, or ac-
cessories, or even of the inserted tool itself can
generate highvelocity projectiles.
Always wear impact-resistant eye protection dur-
ing the operation of the non-rotary percussive
power tool. The grade of protection required
should be assessed for each use.
For overhead work, wear a safety helmet.
The risks to others should also be assessed at
this time.
