into it. Soil or stones could be flung away outside the rubber protection
cap. Always wear safety glasses.
Anyone inside the immediate working area of the VOGT Air Injector must
be asked to leave. The operator may also decide that a splash protection
wall needs to be erected to prevent injury and damage to property from
parts being sprayed out.
The work step may only commence when the injection tube is inside the
material to be loosened (e.g. the soil).
If inadequate ear protection is worn, the impact of high noise levels can
cause permanent hearing loss and other problems such as tinnitus (a
ringing, whooshing, whistling, or buzzing noise in the ear). The operator is
required to carry out a risk assessment regarding these hazards and take
measures to reduce noise and protect health. Observe the following:
The sound and dirt absorber (Z 950) must be used at all times when
„
operating the VH 50 / VH 50 Delta / VH 60 / VH 60 Delta / VH 50.18 /
VH 50.18 Delta / VH 60.18 / VH 60.18 Delta / VTS 50 / VTS 60 in order to
comply with the noise emission limit. Defective sound and dirt absorb-
ers (Z 950) must be replaced immediately and are available as spare
parts.

„
recommended in the manual.

„
Use ear protectors in accordance with your employer's policies and/or

Dust and fumes generated during use can cause damage to health (e.g.
cancer, birth defects, asthma, and/or dermatitis). The operator is required
to carry out a risk assessment regarding these hazards and must take
measures to prevent hazardous substances from being released or, if they
are, to collect them and divert them away and/or provide personal protec-
tive equipment. Observe the following:
The risk assessment must cover the kinds of dust generated during
„
use as well as the kinds of dust that may already be circulating in the
air.
If any dust or fumes are released, the top priority is to monitor them
„
where they are released.
A dust suction (Z 800) is available as an optional accessory for VOGT
„
Hammers / TurboSpades.
