SAFETY SUMMARY

The following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedures, and therefore do not
appear elsewhere in this publication. These are recommended precautions that personnel must understand
and apply during many phases of operation and maintenance.

Keep the work area clean when maintaining or repairing the Pakhammer.

Personnel not directly involved in operation or maintenance of the Pakhammer should keep a safe distance from
the work area.

Operation of the Pakhammer by unauthorized personnel or minors is prohibited.

Use the proper tool bit for each application.

Do not force the tool bit during operation of the Pakhammer.

Wear proper apparel and safety goggles.

Use a respirator in contaminated environments.

During operation, do not over reach. Keep stable footing and balance at all times

Do not carry the Pakhammer by the oiler hose.

The following warnings and cautions appear in the

text of this manual, and are repeated here for
emphasis: WARNING
