limited space. Take care not to jam your
fingers between the equipment and the
workpiece. This applies in peculiar when
loosening screw connections.
Working with the equipment can result in
■
disorders in the hands, arms, shoulders,
neck and other parts of the body.
Before carrying out repairs and
■
maintenance work or changing and
adjusting tools, disconnect the equipment
from the compressed air source.
Use only original replacement parts.
■
Only use adapters and attachments that are
■
in good condition and intended for use with
the hammer screwdriver.
Do not use any defective items of
■
equipment.
Slipping, stumbling and falling are the main
■
reasons for injuries at the workplace.
Beware of slippery surfaces which result
from using the equipment and also beware
of tripping over the air hose.
Beware of hidden dangers such as electric
■
cables. Ensure that no electrical cables or
water pipes are damaged when working
with the equipment.
This equipment is not insulated against
■
contact with an electric cable.
It is vital to avoid all contact with electric
cables.
Do not use the hammer screwdriver in a
■
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Dust may be a health hazard for the person
■
operating the equipment. This applies to
dust being created and whirled up during
the operation of the equipment. Depending
on the material you wish to process, dusts
and gases may arise that are a health
hazard for the user (for example causing
cancer, birth defects, asthma and / or
dermatitis).
Wear a breathing mask.
Make sure that escaping air whirls up as
■
little dust as possible.
Noise can cause permanent damage to
■
your hearing. Unprotected exposure to high
levels of noise can result in loss of hearing
and other problems such as tinnitus
(ringing, buzzing, whistling or droning
noises in your ears). Wear ear-muffs. To

keep noise and vibration levels as low as
possible, follow the maintenance and
operating instructions in the manual. If
required by the particular situation,
vibration-damping material used as an
intermediate layer can also reduce noise.
Only use suitable plug-on attachments.
■
Vibrations can be transferred to the whole
■
body, particularly the arms and hands. Very
strong and continuous vibrations can cause
neural and vascular disorders. Regular work
breaks will minimize the risk of disorders
caused by vibrations.
Hold the equipment with a light but secure
■
grip, noting the reaction forces which arise
in the process. The risk of disorders caused
by vibrations is always greater with a tight
grip.
Wear warm clothing when you work in cold
■
surroundings. Keep your hands warm and
dry.
If you suffer pains or repeat symptoms while
■
using the equipment, do not ignore them but
consult a doctor.
Do not let cold air flow over your hands.
■
Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
■
Never direct escaping compressed air at
■
yourself or at any other person.
Disconnect the compressed air coupling
■
and depressurize the equipment before you
service, repair or transport the equipment
and before you change tools.
Do not carry compressed air tools by their
■
hose.
Never allow the tool to run unloaded at full
■
idle speed for an extended period of time.
The compressor and lines can become very
■
hot during operation. Touching these parts
will burn you.
The gas and steam sucked in by the
■
compressor must be kept free of impurities
that could cause fires or explosions in the
compressor.
Keep your hands away from the installed
■
tool (connector), to prevent injuries.
Only qualified and trained persons are
■
allowed to use this equipment.
Do not modify this equipment. Modifications
■
can impair the effect of the safety devices
and therefore increase the potential danger
