Operating, precautions
WARNING Operating pressure
If the maximum operating pressure for the
hydraulic machine is exceeded, it can result in
material damage and personal injury.
►Always run the hydraulic machine with the
correct operating pressure. See "Technical
data".
DANGER Explosion hazard
If an working tool comes into contact with
explosives or explosive gases, an explosion could
occur. When working on certain materials and
when using certain materials in machine parts,
sparks and ignition can occur. Explosions will lead
to severe injuries or death.
►Never operate the machine in any explosive
environment.
►Never use the machine near flammable
materials, fumes or dust.
►Make sure that there are no undetected
sources of gas or explosives.
WARNING Trapping hazard
There is risk of neck ware, hair, gloves and clothes
getting dragged into or caught by a rotating
insertion tool or accessories. This may cause
choking, scalping, lacerations or death. To reduce
the risk:
►Never grab or touch a rotating drill steel.
►Avoid wearing clothing, neck ware or gloves
that may get caught.
►Cover long hair with a hair net.
WARNING Projectiles
Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even
of the machine itself may generate high velocity
projectiles. During drilling, splinters, or other
particles may become projectiles and cause bodily
injury by striking the operator or other persons.
Also, breakage of the work piece, accessories, or
the insertion tool may generate high velocity
projectiles that can cause bodily injury. In addition,
objects falling from a height can cause bodily
injury. To reduce risks:
►Close off the working area.
►Before starting, make sure that no persons are
in the danger area, 5 meters both horizontally
and vertically from the machine.
►Immediately switch off the machine when
persons are present in the danger area.
►Never operate unless the inserted tool is
retained in the machine with a proper tool
retainer.
WARNING Slipping, tripping and falling
hazards
There is a risk of slipping or tripping or falling, for
example tripping on the hoses or on other objects.
Slipping or tripping or falling can cause injury. To
reduce this risk:
►Always make sure that no hose or other object
is in your way or in any other person's way.
WARNING Dust and fume hazard
Dusts and/or fumes generated or dispersed when
using the machine may cause serious and
permanent respiratory disease, illness, or other
bodily injury (for example, silicosis or other
irreversible lung disease that can be fatal, cancer,
birth defects, and/or skin inflammation).
Some dusts and fumes created by drilling,
breaking, hammering, sawing, grinding and other
construction activities contain substances known to
the State of California and other authorities to
cause respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of such
substances are:
•Crystalline silica, cement, and other masonry
products.
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber.
•Lead from lead-based paints.
Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to the
naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to
determine if there is dust or fumes in the air.
To reduce the risk of exposure to dust and fumes,
do all of the following:
►Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk
assessment should include dust and fumes
created by the use of the machine and the
potential for disturbing existing dust.
►Use proper engineering controls to minimize the
amount of dust and fumes in the air and to
minimize build-up on equipment, surfaces,
clothing, and body parts. Examples of controls
include: exhaust ventilation and dust collection
systems, water sprays, and wet drilling. Control
dusts and fumes at the source where possible.
Make sure that controls are properly installed,
maintained and correctly used.
►Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory
protection as instructed by your employer and
as required by occupational health and safety
regulations. The respiratory protection must be
