▲WARNING!
Risk of burns! Use protective work gloves.
l Hot oil can cause painful burns. Use caution when changing the hydraulic oil.
l Oils can irritate and damage the eyes, throat and other sensitive skin. Avoid contact.
l Petroleum based oils are hazardous to the environment. Take special care not to spill or discharge these fluids. Use approved containers and methods to handle and dispose of them.
l Use an authorized disposal and recycling company.
Work Site Precautions
▲WARNING!
Know the location of any flammable gas lines in the construction area.
Damaged gas lines could lead to a fire or explosion. Operation the breaker may create sparks that could ignite highly flammable gases.
l Never operate the breaker in an environment where highly explosive gases could be present.
l Make sure there are no sources of flammable gases in the work area.
l Always provide sufficient ventilation when working in buildings or confined areas.
▲WARNING!
Never operate the breaker in the vicinity of explosives.
l Make sure there are no explosives hidden in the rock or stones being broken.
l The impact of the tool could cause them to explode.
▲WARNING!
Avoid all overhead cables and electrical wiring when operating the breaker to prevent the risk of electrical shock.
l Any contact with sources of electricity can lead to an electric shock, resulting in serious injury or death.
l Check the worksite for hidden electrical circuits.
Fire Prevention
IMPORTANT! Maintain a charged fire extinguisher on the machine at all times and KNOW HOW TO USE IT!
Prevent combustible debris from collecting in tight corners of the machine. This debris by itself may not cause a fire; however, when mixed with fuel, oil, or grease in a hot or confined space, the danger of fire increases dramatically.
To reduce the chance of a fire starting, follow these instructions:
Clean dust and debris from the machine daily.
l Inspect the machine daily for potential fire hazards and make any necessary repairs immediately.
l Inspect electrical wiring and connections and hydraulic hoses to ensure they are secure and not rubbing against other components.
l Clean up any excess grease and oil accumulation and spillage immediately.
l Use only non-flammable solutions for cleaning the machine or components.
l Store rags and other combustible materials in a safe, fireproof location.
l Before starting repair work such as welding, clean the surrounding area and place a fire extinguisher close by.
l Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards. Do not incinerate or puncture pressurized
containers.
