After inserting a tool, make sure it is securely locked in place.
If the locking balls (see illustration) have worked their way 4 mm into the
rear of the hexagonal part of the tool, this is a sign of excessive wear. The
size of the hexagon must also not exceed 13.5 mm on devices with a 14
mm chisel holder or 17.3 mm on devices with an 18 mm chisel holder.
Replace worn tools or tools with broken, bent, or warped parts.
If you can twist a new tool more than 10°, this indicates excessive wear to
the chisel holder. If the chisel holder is worn, have it replaced by the man-
ufacturer or an authorized specialist workshop.

Slips, trips, and falls are some of the main causes of workplace injuries.
Watch out for surfaces that may have become slippery through using the
device and for trip hazards posed by the air hose.

Always use a VOGT compressed air device that is appropriate for the
various tasks to be performed in order to prevent excessive strain on your
body. Suitable device versions and sets are available for different tasks.
Proceed with caution in unfamiliar conditions of use. Power cables may
pose hidden hazards.
VOGT compressed air devices are not insulated against contact with sourc-
es of electric current. The working area must be clear of supply lines. Use
wiring diagrams and/or line locators.
Make sure that tools and accessories are used safely:
Remove any transport protection supplied with the tools and store it
„
in the transport case while using the VOGT Hammer / TurboSpade. Put
the transport protection back on the tool after use.
Only use accessories and consumables of the sizes and types recom-
„
mended by the manufacturer. Do not use any other types or sizes of
accessories or consumables.
Never use the chisels or spades as hand-held tools. They have been
„
specifically designed for use with the VOGT Hammer / TurboSpade and
heat-treated accordingly.
Never use edgeless tools, as these impair performance and can cause
„
fatigue fractures. Edgeless tools can also amplify vibrations, which is
why you must always use sharp tools.
