Long term risks when using the machine
6 Always use ear protection
To prevent gradual loss of hearing due to exposure to high noise levels:
• wear ear protection
7 Vibration may be harmful to hands and arms
• use vibration dampened tools if available
• reduce the total time of exposure to vibrations, particularly if the operator
has to guide the chisel by hand
8 Dust generated during operation may be harmful
• use spot suction or a breathing apparatus
Proper use and maintenance
9 Do not perform idle blows with a hammer
• they will cause high internal stresses and shorten the life of the tool
• note the risk of shooting out the chisel, die or punch if the retainer is not in
order
10 Quick coupling
• if a quick coupling is used on a percussive tool, it shall be separated from
the tool by a whip hose (length 0.5 m)
11 Maintenance
Good service life and safe function is offered if the instructions for lubrication,
maintenance and overhaul supplied with the machine are followed.
Use genuine Atlas Copco replacement kits and parts only.
