YouTube manual: sharpening scrapers and chisels
Never cool hot tools or accessories in water, as this can make them
brittle and cause them to crack prematurely.
Misusing the device – either with or without the tool – as a lever, e.g. to
chisel or dig, can crack or damage it and/or the tool. Work on smaller
parts to prevent the device from getting jammed in material.
Avoid direct contact with the tool during and after use, as it may be hot
or have sharp edges. Use safety gloves when replacing tools and allow
the tool and lock to cool down.
Make sure that you handle compressed air and the pneumatic compo-
nents of the compressed air devices correctly:
Never point the flow of air or the tool toward yourself or other people
or animals.
Serious injuries can result from hose lines flying around. You must
therefore always check whether the hoses and their fasteners are un-
damaged and have not come loose.
Keep the exhaust air from the device away from your body.
Make sure that the specified operating pressure is not exceeded.
Never use the hose to carry or pull the VOGT Hammer / TurboSpade.
3�5 Additional safety instructions for the VBL / VAI
In addition to the safety instructions set out above, other safety-related
instructions also apply when working with the VOGT Soil Aerator and the
VOGT Air Injector as a result of the tools used.
Always use the VOGT Soil Aerator and the VOGT Air Injector together with
the rubber protection cap. Damaged or worn rubber protection caps must
be replaced immediately.
Rubber protection caps are available as spare parts at short notice (I19 002
or 035 240).
Claw couplings on the compressed air hose must be fixed in place with
hose clamps. The hose clamp prevents the end of the hose from lashing
out if the coupling is unintentionally released under pressure.
Always bring the stop cock on the VOGT Soil Aerator and the VOGT Air
Injector back into its locked position after aerating the material to be loos-
ened in order to prevent compressed air from flowing out uncontrollably.
Never use the injection tube to pull the VOGT Soil Aerator along the
ground. This might open the lever on the stop cock, causing compressed
air to escape from the injection tube at high pressure and high speed. Soil,
deposits, or loose objects could be flung about.
Blowing compressed air into solid materials (e.g. layers of soil) can cause
