3�4 Safety instructions
General information
Adequate lighting must be ensured whenever the compressed air devices
are being used.
Use in potentially explosive atmospheres is prohibited. This can create
sources of ignition in the form of sparks, hot surfaces, etc., potentially
causing an explosion.
The rammer on a VOGT compressed air device must never be held under
water. This may cause damage to the device or even render it unusable.
The operating manual contains basic information on safe use and on
residual risks that may arise during use. The user or the user’s employer
is required to assess the risks specific to the planned use and take action
to reduce these and protect health. Safety instructions in the manual must
always be followed during use.
The VOGT Hammer / TurboSpade must not be modified. Modifications can
make safety measures less effective and expose the user to greater risk.
Only use lubricated, condensate-free compressed air. Use accessories to
pre-treat the compressed air if required, such as the VOGT precision in-line
oiler (Z 300).
If the device is to be put into storage for longer than two days, it must be
preserved using oil as described in the manual (see instructions for putting
into storage in Chapter 6).
Personal protective equipment
The following personal protective equipment must always be worn when
working with the compressed air devices:
Safety shoes
Safety gloves
Safety glasses
Ear protection
Safety helmet (when working overhead)
In transit
Make sure that the compressed air device is always stable and protect-
ed against tipping and falling over. Use the transport case available or a
similar container to store the device after use or when transporting it over
relatively large distances.
During operation
The compressed air supply must be shut off, the air hose depressurized,
