 Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool
from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when
making repairs.
 Failure of the accessory or abrasive, or of the workpiece, can generate
high-velocity projectiles. Even small projectiles can injure eyes and
cause blindness.
 Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when involved
with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of the tool or changing
accessories on the tool.

 To avoid injury, retainer parts must be replaced when they become
worn, cracked or distorted.
 On overhead work, wear a safety helmet.
 Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.
 Hold the accessory firmly against the work surface before starting the
tool.

 Use of the tool can expose the operator’s hands to hazards, including
impacts, cuts and abrasions and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect
the hands.
 Avoid direct contact with accessory and work surface during and after
work as they become heated and sharp.
 Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle
the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
 Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract normal or sudden move-
ments – have both hands available.

 Never use any chisel as a hand struck tool. They are specifically
designed and heat-treated to be used only in air hammers.
 Select the correct shank and retainer for the tool being used.
 Never use dull accessories as they require excessive pressure and can
break from fatigue.

 When using a power tool to perform work-related activities, the operator
might experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or
other parts of the body.
 Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining secure footing and
avoiding awkward or off-balance postures. Changing posture during
extended tasks can help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
 Do not ignore symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain,
throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness.
Stop using the tool, tell your employer and consult a physician.

 High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss and other prob-
lems such as tinnitus. Use hearing protection as recommended by your
employer or occupational health and safety regulations.
 Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and
blood supply of the hands and arms. Wear warm clothing and keep your
hands warm and dry. If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin
occurs, stop using tool, tell your employer and consult a physician.
 Hold the tool in a light but safe grip because the risk from vibration is
generally greater when the grip force is higher. Where possible support
the weight of the tool with a balancer.
 To prevent unnecessary increases in noise and vibration levels:
- Operate and maintain the tool, and select, maintain and replace the
accessories and consumables, in accordance with this instruction
manual;
- Never use a blunt accessory.
