Projectile hazard
Warning
During drilling, splinters or other particles from the
worked material may become projectiles and cause
personal injury by striking the operator or other
persons.
► Use approved personal protective equipment,
including impact resistant safety glasses with side
protection, to reduce the risk of being injured by a
projectile.
Caution
During blow-cleaning particles and dirty flushing water
can emerge from the drill hole and cause personal
injury.
► Move to the side and cover your eyes before
starting to blow-clean the drill hole.
► Always wear impact resistant eye protection with
side protection.
► Make sure that no co-workers are in range when
blow-cleaning.
Noise hazard
Warning
High sound levels may cause permanent hearing
loss.
► Use hearing protection in accordance with
occupational health and safety regulations.
Silica/Dust hazard
Warning
Exposure to crystalline silica (sometimes called
'silica dust') as a result of drilling, or other activities
involving rock, concrete, asphalt or other materials
may cause silicosis (a serious lung disease), silicosis-
related illnesses, cancer, or death. Silica is a major
component of rock, sand and mineral ores.
To reduce silica exposure:
► Use proper engineering controls to reduce the
amount of silica in the air and the build-up of dust
on equipment and surfaces. Examples of such
controls include: exhaust ventilation and dust
collection systems, water sprays, and wet drilling.
Make sure that controls are properly installed and
maintained.
► Wear, maintain, and correctly use approved
particulate respirators when engineering controls
alone are not adequate to reduce exposure below
permissible levels.

Safety and operating instructions
► Participate in air monitoring, medical exams, and
training programs offered by your employer and
when required by law.
► Wear washable or disposable protective clothes at
the worksite; shower and change into clean clothes
before leaving the worksite to reduce
exposure of silica to yourself, other persons, cars,
homes, and other areas.
► Do not eat, drink, or use tobacco products in areas
where there is dust containing crystalline silica.
► Wash your hands and face before eating, drinking,
or using tobacco products outside of the exposure
area.
► Work with your employer to reduce silica exposure
at your worksite.
Warning
Some dust, fumes or other airborne material created
during use of the machine may contain chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of such chemicals are:
► Crystalline silica and cement and other masonry
products.
► Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber.
► Lead from lead based paints.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Vibration hazard
Warning
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 other body parts,
including debilitating and/or permanent injuries or
disorders that may develop gradually over periods
of weeks, months, or years. Such injury or disorder
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, 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, do not resume operating
the machine 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.
