Any errors made in following the safety information
and instructions set out below may result in an
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety information and instructions in a

Protect yourself and your environment from accidents
by taking the appropriate precautionary measures.
Do not use the chisel hammer for purposes other
than that for which it is designed.
Keep children away from air tools.
The equipment may only be operated by persons
who are rested and concentrated.
Connect the compressed air supply only over a
quick fastener coupling.
The working pressure must be set on the
pressure reducer.
Do not use oxygen or combustible gases as
power source. Danger of fire and explosion.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
operating pressure.
Only operate the equipment with the pressure
required for the relevant operation. This will help
to prevent an unnecessarily high noise level,
increased wear and resulting faults.
Wear the necessary protective clothing, in
particular impact-proof safety goggles, ear muffs
and safety gloves, when working with the chisel
hammer.
Do not use the equipment in idling mode in order
to prevent the chisel being catapulted out

Protect third parties from danger by providing
suitable protection of the surrounding areas from
parts which may be catapulted away when
working with the chisel hammer or if the chisel
should break.
Please note that there is a risk of the workpiece
being destroyed when chiseling.
Make sure that the workpiece is fixed securely.
Use only a suitable tensioning spring (5)
(supplied). Replace the tensioning spring if it is
worn, broken or bent. This will help to prevent
injuries.
Sparks may be created when you work with this
equipment. It is important therefore that you never
work with this equipment near combustible
materials, liquids or gases.
Wear a helmet during overhead work.
Using this equipment can cause bruises, grazes,
cuts and burns. Wear gloves.
The user must be physically capable of operating
the equipment.
When using the equipment, be sure to adopt a
comfortable posture and change your posture
repeatedly in order to avoid physical complaints.
Never touch the chisel during and after working
with the equipment. Fingers and hands may be
injured. The chisel can become hot.
Use only original spare parts which have been
produced specifically for this equipment.
When you release the quick-lock coupling, hold
the hose securely in your hand and never use
defective connections. This will help to prevent
injuries caused by a whipping compressed air
hose.
Do not use any defective items of equipment.
Replace defective parts in order to prevent
injuries.
Hold the mounted chisel against the workpiece
before you activate the equipment.
Let go of the trigger lever (2) if the air supply is
interrupted.
Unexpected movements of the machine or
fracturing of the chisel can cause serious
accidents. It is important therefore to always
stand squarely and solidly so that you can keep
control of the equipment and maintain your
posture even if the machine makes unexpected
movements.
Slipping, stumbling and falling are the main
reasons for injuries at the workplace. Beware of
slippery surfaces which result from using the
equipment and also beware of tripping over the
air hose.
Beware of hidden dangers such as electric
cables or water pipes.
