•
Do not hold or guide the machine at the turning power socket.
•
Consider enough space behind you when loosening screw connections, so that the operating hand cannot
be jammed.
•
Use only extensions, adapters and joints, which are explicitly approved for the application with impact
wrenches.
•
If the machine shows any signs of abnormal operation or performance, work must be stopped instantly for
maintenance and repair.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS
CAUTION – Loose clothing, personal jewellery (e.g. necklace), scarves/ ties, long hair or gloves can
get caught up in the machine tool or accessories and thus cause severe injuries (lack of breath by
throttling, abrasions, skin injuries and/ or cuts and lacerations)
Wear suitable, close fitting work clothing!
Wear a hair net, if you have long hair.
When handling the machine, jewellery, necklaces, etc. have to be removed or are forbidden,
respectively.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF NOISE HAZARDS
Always wear hearing protection – This refers to the operator, as well as to any other person within
the vicinity of the machine. Observe the instructions of the employer and of the professional
association.
During operation high noise levels can cause permanent hearing problems such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing,
whistling or humming in the ears), hardness of hearing or even deafness.
•
If possible, use sound absorbing material, in order to avoid ringing noise at the work pieces.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF VIBRATION HAZARDS
Vibrations can cause damage of nerves and blood vasculares in hands and arms, therefore observe the following
hints:
· Wear warm clothing and keep your hands warm and dry when working in cold conditions. Exercise hands and
fingers regularly.
· Do not hold the machine tool with the free hand
· Use stands and/or weight balancers, if possible.
· When using a support (e.g. stand) make sure the machine is securely fixed. If no support is used, hold the
machine with light but safe grip in order to support the tool's reaction torque. The tighter the grip the greater the risk
from vibrations.
· Mount the machine as described in the operating instruction booklet in order to avoid unnecessary high
vibrations.
· Stop work immediately, if you feel any numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of fingers or hands. Inform the
employer and consult a doctor.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF DUST AND FUME HAZARDS
Wear respiratory protection.
Use respiratory protection as instructed by your employer and as required by occupational health and safety
regulations.
Potentially generated or disturbed dust and fumes in the working environment or from using the machine
can cause ill health (e.g. cancer, birth defects, asthma and/ or dermatitis).
