Safety and operating instructions

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 tool do the job. Use a minimum hand grip

►

consistent with proper control and safe operation.

►

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 broken work surface.

►

Immediately stop working if the machine

suddenly starts to vibrate strongly. Before

resuming the work, find and remove the cause of

the increased vibrations.

Never grab, hold or touch the inserted tool when

►

using the machine.

Participate in health surveillance or monitoring,

►

medical exams and training programs offered by

your employer and when required by law.

When working in cold conditions wear warm

►

clothing and keep hands warm and dry.
