2.3 Additional safety instructions for breakers
Personal safety
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ When chiseling into ceilings, walls and floors, always make sure that you have a safe and firm stance. A
sudden break-through can affect your balance!
▶ Apply appropriate safety measures at the opposite side of the workpiece in work that involves breaking
through. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or fall down causing injury to other persons.
▶ You and the other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protection,
protective gloves and light respiratory protection while the product is in use.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool can result in
cuts and burns.
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments can injure the body and eyes.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the product could give you an electric shock or cause an explosion if you
accidentally damage an electric cable or a gas or water pipe.
Power tool use and care
▶ Wait until the product has come to a complete stop before you lay it down.
