2.3 Additional safety instructions for breakers
Personal safety
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working
order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ When chiseling into ceilings, walls and floors, always make sure that you
have a safe and firm stance. A sudden break-through can affect your
balance!
▶ Apply appropriate safety measures at the opposite side of the workpiece
in work that involves breaking through. Parts breaking away could fall
out and / or fall down causing injury to other persons.
▶ You and the other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable eye
protection, a hard hat, ear protection, protective gloves and light
respiratory protection while the product is in use.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the
accessory tool can result in cuts and burns.
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments can injure the body and eyes.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain
dangerous chemicals. Some examples are: lead or lead-based paints;
brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone and other
products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak,
beech and chemically treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain
asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and bystanders
by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked.
Implement the necessary measures to restrict exposure to a safe level,
for example by the use of a dust collection system or by the wearing
of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing
exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin
with water and soap.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood
circulation in your fingers. High vibration during long periods of work can
lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in the fingers,
hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric
cables or gas and water pipes. External metal parts of the product could
give you an electric shock or cause an explosion if you accidentally
damage an electric cable or a gas or water pipe.
