Additional safety instructions for pavement
breakers
• Ensure the chisel is secured in place before
operating the tool.
• In cold-weather conditions or when the tool has not
been used for a longer period of time, let the tool
run with no load for several minutes before use.
• Always hold the tool fi rmly with both hands and
ensure a secure stance. Always operate the
tool with the side handle properly mounted.
• When working above ground level ensure the
area below is clear.
• To prevent electric shock, check the working
area for live wires before operation.
• Do not touch the chisel or the parts close to the
chisel immediately after operation, as they may
be extremely hot and cause burns to the skin.
• Always direct the power cable to the rear, away
from the chisel.
• Keep the power cable away from the accessory.
A power cable wrapped around the bit may
cause electric shock.
• Do not wrap the power cable around your body.
• Do not allow children under 16 years of age to
use this tool.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.

• Do not strike jammed accessories with a
hammer to dislodge them. Fragments of metal or
material chips could dislodge and cause injury.
• Always switch off the tool when work is fi nished
and before unplugging.
• Do not recondition accessories yourself. Chisel
reconditioning should be done by a qualifi ed
specialist. Improperly reconditioned accessories
could cause injury. Only sligthly worn
