WARNING
Projectiles
Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even of
the hydraulic breaker itself may generate high
velocity projectiles. During breaking, 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, 20 meters both horisontally and
vertically from the hydraulic breaker.
Immediately switch off the hydraulic breaker when
►
persons are present in the danger area.
Press the insertion tool against the working
►
surface before you start.
Never operate unless the inserted tool is retained
►
in the hydraulic breaker with a proper tool
retainer.

Risk assessment of these hazards and
►
implementation of appropriate controls is
essential.
Operate and maintain the machine as
