Safety and operating instructions
WARNING Projectiles
Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even
of the machine itself may generate high velocity
projectiles. During operating, splinters or other
particles from the working material may become
projectiles and cause personal injury by striking the
operator or other persons. To reduce these risk:
Use approved personal protective equipment
►
and safety helmet, including impact resistant
eye protection with side protection.
Make sure that no unauthorised persons
►
trespass into the working zone.
Keep the workplace free from foreign objects.
►
Ensure that the work piece is securely fixed.
►
WARNING Splinters hazard
Using the working tool as a hand struck tool can
result in splinters hitting the operator and can
cause personal injury.
Never use a working tool as a hand struck tool.
►
They are specifically designed and heat-treated
to be used only in a machine.
WARNING Slipping, tripping and falling
hazards
There is a risk of slipping, tripping or falling, for
example tripping on hoses or on other objects.
Slipping, tripping or falling can cause injury. To
reduce this risk:
Always make sure that no hose or other object
►
is in your way or in any other person's way.
Always make sure you are in a stable position
►
with your feet as far apart as your shoulder
width and keeping a balanced body weight.
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 while 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 machine do the job. Use a minimum
►
hand grip consistent with proper control and
safe operation. Use the correct feed force on
the machine. Avoid pressing too hard.
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 work surface.
Make sure that the inserted tool is well-
►
maintained (including sharpness, if a cutting
tool), not worn out, and of the proper size.
Working 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.
